The Details

Step inside Old Lakenham and discover a luxurious countryside escape that is perfect for your next group getaway with family or friends. From the welcoming double-height entrance hall to the expansive living and dining spaces, this exceptional home in the heart of Loose village is a dream setting where you can unwind with a dip in the pool, relax in the hot tub or wander the expansive gardens in peace.

The heart of the house is a stunning open-plan kitchen, breakfast and sitting area - a space flooded with natural light from vaulted skylights and French doors that open directly onto the gardens. Gather around the long dining table for leisurely feasts, whip up delicious meals in the fully-equipped kitchen with walk-in pantry, or unwind on the sofa as you take in the garden views. Multiple living spaces, including a family room and a games room, ensure there’s space for everyone to relax or come together in comfort.

With eight beautifully designed bedrooms, there’s room for up to 20 guests. The main house has five bedrooms, including a vaulted principal suite with serene countryside views, while the separate two-bedroom annexe features its own kitchen, lounge, bathroom and rooftop terrace - perfect for guests seeking a little extra privacy away from the main group. The charming pool house offers another self-contained space, with an open-plan living area, ensuite shower room and direct access to the pool terrace.

Outside, the gardens are simply spectacular - a haven of mature landscaping, lawns, a rockery and a gentle waterfall flowing into a pond. Several terraces offer perfect spots for alfresco dining, sundowners or morning coffee. The heated outdoor pool and bubbling hot tub take centre stage, creating a true sanctuary for sun-drenched afternoons or starlit evenings.

Nestled in the picturesque village of Loose near Maidstone, Old Lakenham sits within easy reach of scenic walks through the Loose Valley Conservation Area, local pubs and historic Kent attractions. Explore the beautiful North Downs Way, wander the grounds of Leeds Castle, or sample farm-to-table dining in nearby country inns. Whether you’re celebrating a milestone, hosting a retreat, or simply escaping with loved ones, Old Lakenham offers a truly memorable stay in the Garden of England.
