Fine & Country are delighted to present 18 Douces Manor, an exceedingly charming mews residence forming part of an exclusive collection set within the historic grounds of Douces Manor. Approached via a sweeping, tree lined driveway and secure wrought iron gates, the development sits within approximately twelve acres of beautifully manicured communal gardens and parkland, just a short walk from the heart of West Malling.

Constructed in 2006 on the footprint of the original manor stables, the property combines classical proportions with modern practicality. Arranged over three floors and extending to nearly 3,000 square feet, the accommodation is both generous and versatile, offering a rare balance of space, setting and community.

Positioned within an attractive semi circle overlooking a central courtyard, the home also benefits from a private rear terrace accessed from the dining room, ideal for al fresco dining. Beyond, residents enjoy landscaped lawns, rose gardens and open parkland, creating a setting that feels both elegant and restorative.

The ground floor is thoughtfully arranged for everyday living and entertaining alike. A welcoming entrance hall leads to a contemporary shaker style kitchen with separate utility room. Three reception rooms provide flexibility and flow, comprising a formal dining room with French doors to the patio, a family room also opening onto the terrace, and a beautifully proportioned sitting room with doors to the courtyard garden. Glazed double doors allow the spaces to be opened for gatherings or closed for quieter moments. A cloakroom completes the floor.

The first floor is dedicated to restful bedroom accommodation, with three generous double bedrooms, all with fitted wardrobes. One of two potential primary suites is located here, complete with a luxurious en suite and doors opening onto a balcony overlooking the manicured courtyard. A discreet nook off the landing offers a charming reading spot with elevated views. Bedroom four features a Juliet balcony and is served by a family shower room with Jack and Jill access to bedroom three.

Occupying the entire second floor, the principal suite provides a palatial retreat with fitted wardrobes, en suite facilities and a large walk in airing cupboard. This level is equally suited as a guest suite, gym, cinema room or home office, offering valuable adaptability.

Residents enjoy exclusive access to an ornate communal orangery for private functions and gatherings, while the extensive lawns foster a warm and sociable atmosphere. A unique heritage feature of the estate is The Twitch, located within the Manor House basement, once a wartime billet for RAF West Malling airmen and now opened to the public on select days each year.

The property benefits from designated resident parking, ample visitor spaces, and a generously sized single garage en bloc with electric door, power and storage above.

West Malling offers an excellent selection of independent boutiques, restaurants, cafes, country style pubs and wine bars, alongside everyday amenities, a popular monthly farmers market and a mainline station with direct services to London. Excellent road links via the M20, M2, M26 and M25 further enhance accessibility.

A rare opportunity to secure a substantial and beautifully arranged home within one of Kent’s most distinctive and cherished settings.
