After the Hussey family gave up the house and the last resident of the family died, the house was initially converted into 6 apartments.
Margaret Thatcher lived in one of them during her time as Prime Minister.
Here she was "easier to protect" than in London.
Now everything has been returned to the way it was before the conversion 😉

New Scotney Castle was built as a mansion in the early 19th century by Edward Hussey after he had purchased the entire site including the ruined Scotney Castle. It has been furnished with valuable furniture and today shows how the upper class lived in the countryside in the Victorian age,

This Victorian mansion was built in 1837. Constructed from sandstone quarried from the grounds of the Old Castle, its privileged position offers splendid views of the castle and the estate. As a curiosity, during Margaret Thatcher's time as Prime Minister, she had an apartment in this building. Currently, it is owned by the National Trust, and you can find more information, plan your visit, and check the opening times at: nationaltrust.org.uk/visit/kent/scotney-castle
