A striking five-bedroom family home on an exclusive private road, featuring spacious accommodation, a contemporary kitchen, triple-aspect orangery, principal en suite bedroom, detached double garage, ample parking, excellent schools, and superb road and rail connections.

Fine & Country proudly presents this striking five-bedroom family residence, occupying a generous south facing plot within Orwell Spike, an exclusive private road regarded as one of West Malling's most desirable residential addresses. Beautifully proportioned throughout and impeccably maintained, this is a home that effortlessly balances elegant entertaining with the practicalities of modern family life.

Extending to over 3,100 square feet including a detached double garage, loft room and detached workshop, the property offers exceptional versatility. High ceilings, an abundance of natural light and a thoughtfully flowing layout create an immediate sense of space, while a series of beautifully connected reception rooms provide the perfect backdrop for both large family gatherings and quieter moments of retreat.

The welcoming reception hall sets the tone for the accommodation beyond, introducing a home where every room has been carefully considered and designed to work in harmony with the next. At its heart lies a stylish contemporary kitchen, fitted with a range of desirable integrated appliances and complemented by granite work surfaces and a separate utility room. Both practical and sociable, it is a space designed to accommodate the demands of everyday life whilst remaining the natural hub of the home.

Beyond, the house truly comes into its own.

A magnificent orangery forms the centrepiece of the ground floor, creating an exceptional family room bathed in natural light. Triple aspect glazing, together with twin roof lanterns overhead, floods the space throughout the day, whilst French doors open directly onto the terrace and gardens beyond. Equally suited to relaxed mornings, family celebrations or summer entertaining, this remarkable room creates an effortless connection between the house and its surroundings.

Flowing seamlessly from the orangery, the formal dining room provides an elegant setting for entertaining, allowing larger gatherings to unfold naturally between the two spaces. Nearby, the sitting room offers a more intimate atmosphere. Beautifully proportioned and centred around an attractive exposed brick fireplace, it is a room that invites quiet evenings, conversation and relaxation, with French doors once again drawing the garden into view.
A sizeable study completes the ground floor accommodation and is ideally suited to those working from home. Its generous proportions also offer excellent flexibility, with scope to create a ground floor bedroom suite through thoughtful reconfiguration should future requirements dictate.

The first floor continues the home's impressive sense of proportion. The principal bedroom provides a luxurious sanctuary, complemented by contemporary en suite facilities and views across the surrounding gardens. Bedroom two also benefits from its own contemporary en suite facilities, creating an ideal guest suite or independent space for older family members.

Three further bedrooms are served by a stylish family bathroom, ensuring the accommodation remains perfectly suited to growing families and visiting guests alike.

Outside, the property enjoys an equally impressive setting. A substantial brick paved driveway provides extensive off road parking and leads to a detached double garage, above which a generous loft room offers excellent storage and future flexibility.

The south facing rear garden is a particular feature of the property. Predominantly laid to lawn, it unfolds across a substantial plot interspersed with mature specimen trees, established shrubbery, flowering borders and herbaceous planting, creating a landscape that is both colourful and private throughout the seasons.

Immediately beyond the house, a broad sun terrace spans the width of the property, providing the perfect setting for al fresco dining, summer entertaining and relaxed evenings outdoors. Further into the garden, an attractive oak framed gazebo offers a more secluded retreat, a wonderful spot to enjoy a glass of wine, a good book or simply the tranquillity of the surroundings.

A substantial detached workshop completes the grounds, providing excellent practicality, storage and space for hobbies or specialist interests.
