Shepherds Lawn

West Road, Goudhurst, Kent

Independent reading

A 7,209 sq ft courtyard-led modern house where glass-walled living rooms, four private suites, a pool, gym and sauna look across the Teise Valley.

Shepherds Lawn clears the Pavello benchmark through coherent modern architecture, exceptional glazing and material finish, private High Weald setting and a complete wellness-and-entertaining programme. The £3.8m guide is about £527/sq ft on the portal's 7,209 sq ft headline, but the primary copy says only over 6,700 sq ft; reconcile the component schedule, 2020 works and pool/terrace areas before treating the apparent density as value.
