Ightham has been named as one of the UK’s poshest villages - and it’s no wonder with properties like this £1.75 million country house on the market.

The village, just outside of Sevenoaks, has been listed among locations such as Studham in Bedfordshire and Sunningdale in Berkshire as one of The Telegraph’s most upmarket countryside locations.

One of the properties currently up for sale in the area is a five-bedroom detached house with its own igloo and hot tub in the half-acre garden.

This contemporary home has a wealth of mod-cons, including Miele and Neff kitchen appliances, a gas-fired patio area and an electric vehicle charging point.

However, features such as the antique brass taps, high ceilings and views of the North Downs give this property a classic country house feel.

There is plenty of space for family and friends to stay, with five bedrooms - including a master bedroom with sliding doors leading out to the terrace and an en-suite bathroom with a walk-in shower - across two floors.

The house also offers a living room, dining room and a converted basement that can be used as a home office or crafts room.

The outdoor space comprises half an acre of meadowed gardens, woodland and patio areas.

This is where residents can find their very own hot tub and glass igloo, an outdoor ‘suntrap’ during the summer months, along with mature trees and a bed of camelia and ferns.

The house is within walking distance of the village shop and local pub, while Sevenoaks and Tonbridge can be reached by car in around 15 minutes.

This property is located at Bates Hill in Ightham, near Sevenoaks.
