Alongside the theatre, she was also celebrated for her performances on screen, which earnt her a Golden Globe, a New York Film Critics Circle Award, and numerous other prestigious accolades. The Gatehouse, much like its former owner, carries a sense of grandeur and legacy that makes it an incredible special country home. 

Shenfield Mill was once the home of renowned singer-songwriter, Kate Bush, who used the property’s outbuildings as dance and recording studios. The home has since been extensively renovated by the current owners, who have added an incredibly impressive contemporary glass extension. As part of their works, the owners have installed an Archimedes screw, which generates an average of 40kw per hour of electricity that not only powers the entire estate for self-sufficiency, but also generates a significant annual income.

Gertrude Jekyll, perhaps the most influential Arts & Crafts garden designer of the 20th century, created and advised on more than 400 gardens across the globe during her illustrious career and her designs still shape the way we approach garden aesthetics today.

The home is surrounded by 10 acres of grounds that are a true testament Jekyll’s work, featuring tiered formal lawns, specimen trees, and woodland - all laid out according to her original planting plan.

Merton House is a mid-century property with unique look. Inside, you’ll find light-filled living spaces and a spectacular leisure complex. The swimming pool is set across a 54 ft space with a movable glass-roof, complete with a raised gallery, sauna, shower room, and dedicated gym area. It’s easy to see why this modernist masterpiece was originally the home of local artist and sculptor Christine Merton, who commissioned the creation of this striking home in 1964 and used the current sitting room as an art studio where she nurtured her talent for sculpting. She founded Whitstable Contemporary Arts, which was responsible for the creation of the town's Horsebridge Centre.
