Sellers Insight

Stocks Mead has been my home, and home from home, since 1969 when my parents moved there from another house in Hartley. They were gutted to have missed out buying it earlier, but fate intervened when the new owners had to relocate, so they weren’t going to lose out again. The wonderful memories of childhood for my brother and I began there as the garden was a dream for children. We swung from ropes and swings in the many apple and cherry trees and made dens in the many different areas. My father was a huge gardening fan and over the years he spent most of his time tending the roses, planting and replanting the beautiful flower beds, boxes and pots, and building the terrace on which we had many years of barbecues and parties. My father built a tennis court on which we would play late into summer evenings, and in later years it hosted a football pitch with goals, and croquet and boules.

.

The garden had many mature trees offering an abundance of Kent cherries, from which my father made some rather dubious cherry wine which was stored in the out house. The outbuildings served many purposes in their time, from a local museum of fossils and war memorabilia curated by my brother, to art studios and storage. The position of the house, up its lane off the main road, means it is perfectly secluded and quiet. A true haven in Hartley.
