Located in a semi-rural position with south facing countryside views and within easy reach of Maidstone and the M20 this elegant family home mixes a beautiful period country home with a large, light and bright modern addition on one side of the property; benefiting from fantastic natural light and countryside views.
Set in approximately 1.3 acres of garden to the front of the house the property is approached by a long sweeping driveway. The house does have a small neighbour to the south side which has its own access driveway from the lane.

The house is clearly demarked into the original property and the elegant architecturally designed addition on the north side of the property. An entrance hallway, the original entrance to the period part of the house, provides a left and right option; left to the modern part and right into the original house. The modern side is based around a remarkable open plan kitchen/dining/living area with large island and modern kitchen fittings. The room benefits from underfloor heating and has french doors opening out onto the garden on three sides. A staircase leads up to two bedrooms (the master with long reaching countryside views), both with their own en suite facilities and a glazed "link" lobby area returning to the older part of the house.

In the original part of the house a second kitchen/utility room sits alongside a formal living room with panelled walls and feature fireplace. A snug room with wood burner and oak flooring and an excellent study room then complete the ensemble on the ground floor along with a guest WC by the entrance hallway. On the first floor a further suite comes with a large seperate dressing room and additional sitting room/snug/study whilst a further bedroom and seperate bathroom finish the living space. Overall the house provides excellent flexibility with excellent bedroom space and a large variety of living and entertaining areas.

The grounds are located to the west side of the property, perfect for evening light . they are set in a parkland style and include the sweeping driveway and turning circle. A patio outside the contemporary addition provides excellent space for dining and entertaining whilst a car port and gated parking is set to the south side of the building.


Kettle Farmhouse is ideally located for the village of East Farleigh and its train station whilst extensive shopping and amenities can be found at nearby Maidstone, Paddock Wood and Tunbridge Wells. Mainline train services run from Paddock Wood (London Bridge in 41 minutes) , Maidstone (Charing Cross in 52 minutes) and West Malling (London Victoria in 55 minutes) whilst Eurostar trains run to the continent from Ashford International. The area also is home to many excellent schools including nearby Sutton Valance, Cranbrook, Maidstone Grammar for boys, Invicta Girls Grammar, Maidstone Girls Grammar School and St. Ronans. Access to the country's motorway network is easily provided from the M20 which links to the M25 and gives good access to Heathrow, Gatwick and the West.
