Disregard everything you think you know about English country houses. Set in the heart of Kent’s picturesque countryside within the U.K.’s Green Belt, Broomsleigh Park is an impressive country estate that combines classic charm with modern comfort. The six-bedroom stone mansion itself, asking £9.95 million (or about $12.5 million), dates to 1860 but has undergone extensive restorations and updates, blending period features with contemporary finishes, creating an ideal home for family living and entertaining.
“Just when you think you’ve seen every significant property in the area, you discover Broomsleigh Park,” says William Peppitt of Savills, one of the firms representing the listing. “Tucked away from view behind an impressive entrance, a winding drive leads to a magnificent Victorian mansion. The interiors are beautifully designed, and outside, the gardens are a true delight. The equestrian facilities are among the finest I’ve seen in private ownership.”

With high ceilings and exquisite period details such as oak herringbone floors, full-height sash windows, decorative cornicing, and working fireplaces, it’s clear the home has been carefully restored to preserve its character while still offering modern luxuries. A bespoke kitchen by Chambers features an Aga range, an oak-topped island, and a cozy fireplace, while a nearby breakfast room and adjoining TV room offer relaxed spaces to unwind. The first floor holds the principal bedroom suite, which comprises an open fireplace, a dressing room with fitted wardrobes, and an en suite bathroom that sports dual sinks, a standalone bath, and a separate shower.
