Anthony Eden's war-time family home where he hosted Winston Churchill is on the market for £1.95m.
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.
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.
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.
