Anthony Eden's war-time family home where he hosted Winston Churchill is on the market for £1.95m.<br />
<br />
The then Secretary of State for War rented Park Gate, near Elham in Kent, in 1940 to give him a 'front seat' view of the English Channel and the frontline airfields during the Second World War.<br />
<br />
While he stayed at the Grade II Listed farmhouse he hosted notable figures including Foreign Secretary Lord Halifax, US First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt and Prime Minister Winston Churchill.<br />

The concrete slabs for the anti-aircraft guns can still be seen in the nearly six acres of gardens and there is a fortified partition built as a makeshift bomb shelter in the cellar.
