About the home

This beautiful period 4-bedroom converted watermill dates back earlier than the 18th century, yet has been sympathetically and stylishly refurbished to give a high level of comfort and luxury. The home is very well furnished and has an open plan kitchen with Aga. There are beamed rooms, glimpses of the medieval structure yet we have equipped the house with all the modern equipment you might reasonably expect to find in a comfortable family home.

The farmhouse is on a quiet C road between three small villages on the outskirts of Tunbridge Wells, and is surrounded by nature and wildlife in the wooded valley of the River Teise. Besides the wonderful views of the millpond and distant fields, guests can see kingfishers, herons and mallards in the water meadows. The local pub at Bells Yew Green, the Brecknock, is a pleasant 30 minute walk through quiet country lanes or the Elephants Head at Hook Green does a wonderful Sunday lunch (5 minute drive and reserve in advance).

The house is a good size with a large open plan kitchen and dining room, the heart of which is the gas fired 2 oven Aga. There is a stripped wooden floor, wooden kitchen units and worktops and a large French wooden dining table which seats 8 +. There is a cosy sitting room with old oak beams and comfy sofas, with attached snug/study with bookshelves. There is also wireless broadband access.

A particular feature of the Mill is the garden and the surrounding fields. Despite being a five minute drive from Tunbridge Wells, there is the feeling that you are deep in the countryside.

Bartley Mill is the perfect base for exploring the castles and gardens of South East England and having a relaxing family holiday.

The South East England / Kent region

When you think of a relaxing British country holiday, do you envisage going for long walks through incredibly beautiful fields, collecting mushrooms or sloes, watching the local wildlife and returning to a warm Aga and toast and crumpets in front of a roaring fire? Windsurfing or sailing on one of the South East's favourite reservoirs or riding through bluebell woods? Watching village cricket with friends, a bottle of wine and a tasty picnic? Exploring Kent's world famous oldest houses and most beautiful gardens?

You will soon discover why Kent is widely known as “The Garden of England”. Be sure to visit Great Dixter House and Gardens, which dates back to 1220; Pashley Manor Gardens especially for its Tulip Festival in May; and Knole House, one of England's finest Tudor houses set within a 1,000-acre deer park, as well as take advantage of our lovely situation in such beautiful countryside.

The Tunbridge Wells / Bells Yew Green area

Bartley Mill is just 3 miles from Bewl Water, the largest area of open water in South East England. The area is beautiful and has a wide variety of wildlife. Bewl Water is perfect for active individuals with plenty of outdoor pursuits. Some of the activities include windsurfing, sailing, fishing, canoeing, rowing, and an adventure playground for the children.

Tunbridge Wells is an excellent shopping area and is a five minute drive from the Mill. You'll find most of what you might need, and there is excellent parking.

In addition, you can go horse-riding, clay-pigeon shooting, fishing and cycling locally, some of this from the back door! We are close by a footpath and bridleway, and set in beautiful countryside.

In the summer you can visit Glyndebourne for the opera, go to the Hop Farm for the Monster truck weekend, or visit Sissinghurst Castle and Gardens when their world-famous wisteria blooms. There is something for all tastes here.

Driving directions from the M25: take junction 5 southbound towards Hastings on the A21. Follow directions to Lamberhurst village, leaving the A21 at the first Scotney Castle roundabout. In Lamberhurst village, following signs to Tunbridge Wells, turn onto the B2169 on the green at Lamberhurst. Passing the vineyard and Swan pub on your right, and later going through Hook Green and passing the Elephants Head pub on your left, after approximately 3 miles from Lamberhurst you will pass through the hamlet of Little Bayham. Half a mile further take the narrow turning down to the left signposted to Cousley Wood. At the bottom of this lane (Bartley Mill Lane) turn left on Bartley Mill Road for Bartley Mill. 200 yards on, you will see that the Mill is the third driveway on the right after the small river bridge on Bartley Mill Road, with a sign on the gate marked Bartley Mill and a large car park/farm yard behind.
