Seller InsightSet against the backdrop of the picturesque North Downs, West Malling is known for its striking architecture and history. It is a thriving, vibrant, contemporary, market town and, set in its centre, is this exquisite, gated, development of thirteen Georgian style houses, one of

which the owners purchased, from new, nearly ten years ago.

Excellent amenities and facilities are within easy walking distance. Everything possibly required for day to day living is here, plus more besides. Excellent and varied educational establishments, shops and supermarkets are set alongside attractive, individual, boutiques, restaurants and tea rooms. Commuting into the capital could not be easier, with Stansted, Heathrow and Gatwick airports all being convenient to access by the outstanding road links. Such links also enable quick journeys to Le Shuttle, or to the Channel ports.

Having travelled extensively around the world, the owners required a home in a convenient location, one which they could lock up and leave for several periods of time, without any concerns. In addition, they also desired a secluded location, but within easy walking distance to a comprehensive range of amenities. They were also looking for a home that offered all the characteristics of a modern home, but with some traditional character features. This, remarkable, three storey, house met all their requirements and, since coming to live here, they have put their own stamp on the house and enhanced it noticeably. Amongst its many improvements, the replacement glass and oak staircase has opened up the central space of the house, providing a more light and airy feel.

Favourite room: Another improvement was to create a Master suite on the top floor which is now a haven of total relaxation and opulence.

The private walled courtyard, with its sensitive, low maintenance, planting certainly has a Mediterranean atmosphere and is an idyllic space for quiet relaxation with a good book, or for al fresco dining with friends.

The main reception room is elegant and spacious and is located is on the first floor of this lovely home. Being apart from the ‘busy’ ground floor, the owners find this extremely convenient, particularly when they have guests.

Of course there will be sadness when the owners say farewell to this lovely home. They have been very happy and content whilst living here in a house and location which has met, and excelled, every aspect they were hoping for when they came to live here.
