5 bed detached house for sale

Pilgrims Way, Detling, Maidstone ME14

Exceptional family home nestling at the base of the North Downs in a private driveway off the historic Pilgrims Way and adjacent to the Detling Cricket pitch, outstanding views over surrounding countryside including local vineyards.

The property has been subject to extensive refurbishment and taken from its 1970's original to a stunning home of 2024. The depth and quality of the refit must be viewed to be appreciated and we would recommend the virtual tour and drone flight for the full experience.

There is a cloakroom, 5 double bedrooms, bathed in light, luxuriously appointed ensuite and family bathroom. There is gas fired underfloor heating with individual room thermostats and traditional radiators to the first floor all of which maybe be operated remotely. There is continuous flooring to the ground floor and deep pile luxurious carpeting to the first floor. Outside there is a charging point and extensive driveway and parking for numerous vehicles, set amidst a half acre undulating plot, featuring a sun trapped patio, hot tub and an alfresco dining area.
