5 bedroom detached house for sale

Middlefield Lodge is a generous contemporary home nestled in a charming lightly wooded setting with superb views over the North Downs. The property benefits from a large double garage with annexe room, and mature boundaries provide high levels of privacy. Wye is arguably the best village in East Kent and detached houses of this stature are a rarity.

The storm porch opens to a bright and welcoming reception hall with a turned stairway and a cloakroom. From here, double doors open to the expansive 21 ft dual-aspect sitting room with its brick fireplace, log-burning stove and French doors to the rear terrace. A useful study and a formal dining room are also accessed from the main hall.

The accommodation flows into the sociable open-plan living space which comprises a cosy family room and kitchen/breakfast area which enjoy striking North Downs views from wide bi-folding glazed doors. The kitchen features a range of wall and base cabinetry and a large central island with inset sink and breakfast bar, along with various integrated appliances. There is also a cloakroom, utility room and an adaptable games room leading to the garage and annexe room.

The first floor has a generous landing and is home to five well-proportioned bedrooms with a range of bespoke fitted wardrobes. The principal bedroom has a luxury en suite shower room with a sauna, and an additional bedroom also benefits from an en suite shower room. There is also a family bathroom.

The property is approached via a sweeping brick-laid driveway flanked with formal lawns, tall trees and shrubs, giving access to the attached double garage with annexe room above.

The substantial rear plot benefits from decked and paved terraces followed by established landscaped garden with an abundance of lush lawns, mature herbaceous borders, a walkway with pergola. The views over the North Downs are hugely impressive and can be enjoyed from all parts of the garden, particularly the summer house with decked verandah – a perfect spot to unwind and take in the sunset.

Picturesque Wye sits on the edge of the beautiful Kent Downs AONB. The village, with its excellent range of shops and schools, is around 11 miles from Canterbury and 5.4 miles from Ashford, which offers an extensive array of amenities, shopping facilities and eateries, together with the Ashford Designer Outlet. There are several well-regarded schools nearby, including Wye School, Spring Grove School and The King’s School, Canterbury.

Road links are excellent with the M20 close by. Ashford International provides High Speed services to London St Pancras from around 36 minutes. The area has good access to the Continent.
