A master class in makeovers. A grade two listed School Govenors house in the Cinque Port Town of New Romney, Kent comes to the sales market.


Sympathetically restored and ready to move in to.

Once known as the Abiding Place before it was renamed The Governor’s House, this gorgeous grade II listed home has so much history surrounding it, you could write a book about it and its links to New Romney.
The house was originally deeded by merchant John Southland as long ago as 1610 but was originally built before this and put in trust by one of many governors of the area, one Jonas Adams, who opened it as a school teaching just two children.
John Southland also owned and deeded the four alms-houses at the other end of New Romney and generously left them all to the town of New Romney, including his precious Governor’s House, which was subsequently sold with the proceeds going to Southland School. The house is listed for its special architectural and historic interest.

The location
The location of the Governor’s House is quiet enough to make you feel as if you are in the middle of nowhere; far from it. Minutes from New Romney high street, it is also close to Littlestone golf course, while the sea is just a short drive away, as is Dungeness.
The peace and tranquillity that this town offers is quite something, yet the high street has everything you need, from Savage’s greengrocer to the delectable bakery – which arguably has some of the nicest bread and cakes you will ever taste.
The wider area has even more to offer, like the famous Romney, Hythe and Dymchurch railway, one of Kent’s top attractions, while Romney Marsh, another landmark, is so picturesque you could spend hours exploring fields and countryside without seeing it all.
