If you're searching for a spacious detached family home with a generous wrap-around garden (overall plot IRO 0.2 acres), surrounded by countryside yet within easy reach of excellent schools, Maidstone and a sub-one-hour commute to London, this exceptional property deserves your attention. Built in 2019, this beautifully presented home is set within an exclusive gated development of just eight detached properties and enjoys an enviable position bordering open farmland.

Designed with modern family living in mind, the heart of the home is the impressive open-plan kitchen, breakfast and family room.

There are four further well-proportioned bedrooms, a contemporary family bathroom and an additional shower room on the top floor, making this an ideal home for growing or multi-generational families. Occupying a larger plot than many modern homes, the property offers excellent outdoor space and the potential to extend to the side, subject to the necessary planning permissions. Parking is well catered for, with a double garage and driveway parking for two vehicles, accessed via a private driveway and electric five-bar gate.

"We have loved living in this house and have really made it into our dream home.

The kitchen, adjoined dining room and garden have provided excellent space for christmasses, summer parties and family gatherings.

The open views to the garden and cherry farm next door, make this home feel bright and open. The matured garden has plenty of space with a pergola and veg patch.

During autumn and winter, we use the log burner to keep the house cosy and warm.

The local area is also very special, with lovely pubs in walking distance, many more with easy access in Staplehurst and West Malling. Surrounded by orchards, you’ll also find lovely walks in every direction.

We’re relocating to Greece, for a slower lifestyle, otherwise this would be our forever-home. We hope you enjoy it as much as we have!"
