Fine & Country are delighted to present this imposing family residence, set within approximately two acres of idyllic gardens and grounds on the prestigious Franklin Kidd Lane. Nestled beyond electric gates, this is a property of stature and discretion, offering refined semi-rural living within an exclusive setting.

Extending to almost 4,200 square feet, the accommodation is classically inspired and beautifully proportioned, blending timeless Georgian symmetry with contemporary comfort. A striking vaulted entrance hall with galleried landing creates an immediate sense of volume and light, introducing interiors that are elegant, spacious, and thoughtfully adaptable.

The ground floor unfolds with quiet confidence. A magnificent drawing room, extending beyond 26 feet, provides an impressive yet welcoming setting for entertaining, its outlook across the gardens enhancing the sense of space and occasion. The formal dining room offers a sophisticated backdrop for gatherings, while a well-appointed study ensures privacy for home working. Across the rear elevation, the principal reception spaces are orientated to embrace the landscape, allowing natural light to pour in and encouraging a seamless connection to the terraces beyond.

At the heart of the home lies the expansive kitchen, breakfast and family room, a cohesive and beautifully curated space designed for modern living. Bespoke shaker style cabinetry and a considered blend of integrated appliances reflect traditional craftsmanship with contemporary expectation. Generous proportions allow for clearly defined areas of cooking, dining, and relaxed seating, all overlooking the grounds and opening directly onto the terrace, creating effortless indoor-outdoor living throughout the seasons. A dedicated utility room sits discreetly alongside, ensuring everyday practicality without compromising the elegance of the principal space.

The first-floor hosts four generous double bedrooms, each benefitting from its own en suite, including a luxurious principal suite complete with dressing area and indulgent bathroom. The second floor continues the theme of versatility, offering two further substantial bedrooms linked by a Jack and Jill shower room, one currently arranged as a cinema room.

Parking is both generous and thoughtfully arranged. A large driveway sits immediately to the front of the house, providing convenient everyday parking, while wrought iron electric gates open to a further secure parking area and the detached triple garage. Above the garage, a substantial additional room offers extensive and highly practical storage, complementing the already impressive accommodation.

The gardens are a defining feature of the home. Formal landscaped areas wrap elegantly around the house, with expansive terrace seating areas perfectly positioned for entertaining. Pergolas introduce attractive architectural features, adding structure and visual interest, complemented by well stocked flower beds and carefully considered planting. Boundaries are formed by post and rail fencing and mature laurel hedging, creating a sense of enclosure while retaining an open aspect. Beyond, the grounds unfold into parkland style lawns interspersed with specimen trees, extending in total to approximately two acres and providing both beauty and breathing space. A brick built outbuilding offers useful storage for garden machinery and equipment, while an elegant timber framed summer house sits idyllically within the landscape, an exceptional setting for al fresco dining, creative pursuits, or peaceful retreat.

Franklin Kidd Lane offers a rare balance of tranquillity and convenience. Countryside walks begin from the doorstep, yet East Malling station and the M20 are just minutes away, providing swift access to London and the coast. The award-winning market town of West Malling lies nearby, renowned for its boutique shops, restaurants and leisure facilities, with Maidstone offering an outstanding selection of secondary and grammar schools.

A residence of scale and distinction, combining architectural presence, contemporary refinement, and exceptional grounds in one of the region’s most desirable settings.
