The property is designed with modern living in mind, yet with the cosy comforts you would hope for of a countryside retreat. The beautifully cladded larch exterior opens up to an impressive open plan space, with an interior combining polished concrete and plywood, textured fabrics and pops of muted colour, mixed with a warming wood burner and sumptuous sofa to curl up on after a day of exploring the picturesque North Downs.
Come sundown, retreat to the comfort of the master bedroom, with a kingsize bed, and mezzanine children’s twin tucked away on the first floor, with white cotton bed linen to wrap yourself up in and sink into a deep slumber. Then wake up to a breakfast of fresh eggs from your welcome pack laid by the resident hens.
Beautifully landscaped, shared gardens wait to be explored or simply gazed over whilst having a meal alfresco on your private dining terrace. Tucked away out of sight, the private hot tub awaits, immerse yourself in the bubbles and unwind. Open from May-September (from August during 2022) the beautifully dubbed ’secret garden’ awaits, take a dip in the large shared swimming pool with solar heated cover, fully relax on one of the loungers or on the outdoor sofas with a bar area for keeping your drinks cool, and pool table for a competitive game or two.
A true haven for those who wish to explore on foot, with miles of beautiful countryside surrounding you, the North Downs Way can be reached via footpaths from the door and a choice of locally renowned gastro pubs 2 miles away. Nestled between the historic city of Canterbury, and the coastal towns of Hythe and Folkestone, the coast, countryside and city can easily be explored.

A well stocked and licensed village shop, open 7 days a week, is just a short stroll from the property. The free house pub is also a short walk away, stocking well kept real ales from local breweries. Their Sunday lunch menu is renowned. Edith Nesbit (author of The Railway Children) grew up in Halstead in the 1870s and her wanderings close to the local railway line, may well have inspired her 1906 classic. The well known North Downs Way offers spectacular views and a fascinating heritage, passing through the nearby Kent Downs Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Following part of the trail incorporates the historic Pilgrims Way and the heights of the top of the Downs.
The nearby farm hosts an annual (April) ’lambing day’ and country market in the field directly opposite the property. Featuring a tractor display, local food and drink and lambs to meet, this is a great day out for all the family.
Halstead’s charming lanes, historical architecture and friendly locals attract many cyclists, ramblers and dog walkers to explore and create lasting memories. From leisurely strolls in the countryside, to immersing yourself in local markets, there’s something for every type of traveller. Whether you’re seeking a romantic escape or a solo adventure, Havre De Calme provides the perfect setting.
