Fancy living in a country mansion with connections to Henry VIII?

Flats have gone on sale at Preston Hall with prices from £195,000 to the princely sum of £700,000.

The house, off London Road in Aylesford, was the home of the Culpeper family whose descendants included Joyce Culpeper, the mother of Henry VIII’s fifth wife Queen Catherine Howard.

Another descendant was Sir Thomas Culpeper, a courtier to King Henry VIII and Catherine Howard’s secret lover, for which they were both executed.

After the Culpepers the hall was owned by railway barons, before being used a hospital for the Royal British Legion and most recently, by the local health authority.

Weston Homes, who have restored and developed the 900-year-old building, have now put 36 luxurious one, two, three and four bedroom flats on the market.

They were unveiled at a glitzy launch bash, attended by around 200 guests last week.

Chairman and managing director of Weston Homes, Bob Weston, said: “With its links to King Henry VIII, its grand stone façade and spacious period interiors Preston Hall provided Weston Homes with a rich historic backdrop on which we have layered a luxurious state-of-the-specification and new build elements in order to create the most outstanding contemporary homes to be unveiled in this part of Kent.

"Preston Hall is without doubt the most prestigious, challenging and unique restoration projects we have undertaken to date.”

The hall is open to visitors from 10am to 5pm daily.
