Previous pages & above: A huge open downstairs space comprises the kitchen, dining and sitting areas. Francesca sourced the kitchen’s industrial-style wheeled trolley from McCully & Crane in Rye England is quite a small country and a wellpopulated and busy one, so it’s amazing to find within it – and not at all far from bustling towns and busily farmed land – a pocket of pure otherness. The Isle of Sheppey is one of these magical spots. A mere 30-minute drive from Maidstone – and only 90 from Trafalgar Square – it has an atmosphere of complete isolation, as though you have travelled days (possibly in a coracle…) to the flat landscape topped with huge skies. The unique light comes from its watery situation, girt by three rivers, with its easterly tip just across the mouth of the Swale from Whitstable, the Medway to the west and the wide Thames Estuary all along the northern side of the island. Adding to the magic, over 3,000 acres of the land on the isle is given over to the Elmley National Nature Reserve, created in 1992 by Natural England, to preserve a wetland habitat of world importance, particularly for the breeding and overwintering of birds, which migrate there every year from the polar north. This was the initiative of pioneering non-intensive farmers and conservationists Philip and Corinne Merricks, who wanted to protect the unique wildlife environment, while continuing to graze cattle on it. With the nature reserve – and the cattle – well established, the potential of the estate is now being taken on to the next stage by their daughter Georgina Fulton. Along with her husband Gareth, they have renovated the various properties on the site into very stylish and characterful holiday rentals, which combine into a stellar wedding venue, with room to sleep 38 – and up to 100 in luxury bell tents. There is also a group of seriously cool shepherd huts to rent. On my visit to Elmley, I met Georgina in the huge renovated barn, which is at the centre of the hamlet of buildings. Its outer timbers painted groovy black, it has been styled very simply <strong>inside</strong> with all the original beam structure visible – and is a dream setting for a wedding should the weather get too complicated for an entirely outdoor shenanigan. “We deliberately kept it rustic,” says Georgina, as we drink coffee from the barn café, which serves lunches and dinners for holiday residents, and visitors to the Reserve during the day. “We wanted it simple, not twee. The star is the view out of the window.” She’s not overstating it. This window, filling one end of the barn and looking out over the reserve, affords the kind of view it’s difficult to pull your eyes away from, with murmurations of birds dancing across the vast sky. “In January and February it’s spectacular,” says Georgina, following my gaze. “There are birds of prey, peregrines, merlins, marsh harriers, short-eared owls, lapwings, avocets. Arctic wildfowl overwinter here from mid-November.” No wonder birdwatchers come from all over to observe these gatherings on the two lakes from specially constructed hides, which I had great fun exploring, after visiting the houses. Indeed, I was so taken with it all, I had been planning to book a visit (it is essential to reserve in advance) to go back myself this January, with binoculars, but the Reserve is 61 priceless-magazines.com
