Tawny Lodge at Heronden is an exceptional compact country estate that combines a Grade II listed Tudor house with extensive modern equestrian and leisure facilities across almost 16 acres. The principal house has been sensitively modernised to provide spacious reception rooms, a contemporary kitchen/breakfast room and a principal suite, while an attached annexe offers independent 2–3 bedroom accommodation suitable for guests, staff or rental income.
The estate is built around a residential courtyard with a newly completed stabling complex, fully fitted tack room, substantial outbuildings and a 29m storage barn with car ramp and mezzanine — ideal for vehicles, workshop use or storage. Outside, mature formal gardens lead to paddocks, a private lake with jetty and an outstanding outdoor pool complex with kitchen, pizza oven, hot tub and treatment/yoga studio. A floodlit 5G all-weather sports surface and pavilion provide year-round recreation and organised-sport facilities.
Practical points to note: the property is Grade II listed which will limit alterations and can complicate maintenance; the estate requires ongoing upkeep given its size and many specialist facilities. EPC D, main heating via air-source heat pump and underfloor electric systems; broadband speeds are slow and mobile signal is average. There is a public footpath running down the drive and along the reservoir side. Council tax and running costs are high — realistic ownership requires budget for estate-scale maintenance, utilities and historic-building compliance.
Set in an attractive, well-connected part of Kent with excellent local schools and convenient road and rail links to London, this rare equestrian and leisure estate will appeal to families or buyers seeking a high-quality country lifestyle combined with significant leisure and livery infrastructure.
