East Lodge
An attractive and deceptively proportioned Edwardian Lodge of character, together with an annexe and pretty gardens, abutting farmland.
East Lodge is an attractive and characterful Edwardian Lodge house in a delightful semi-rural yet highly accessible location in an ’Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty’ being on the edge of both of Detling village and in easy proximity of Maidstone, the country town of Kent. The elevations are of stone and are partially relieved by tile hanging under a pitched tiled roof.
The accommodation, which is arranged over two floors, offers a high degree of flexibility, has much character, is well proportioned and retains many pleasant features of the period. The rooms offer lovely views over open farmland, gardens and countryside.
The property is great for entertaining and the house can be used in many different ways than its current usage.
Cottage in the Wood is close to East Lodge but discreetly situated, surrounded by mature trees. Built with seasoned ancient oak this gorgeous cottage has delightful adaptable accommodation
Cottage in the Wood
A charming two bedroom detached cottage surrounded by scenic woodland
The Cottage in the Wood is a cosy yet very attractive period property set in the heart of rural Kent. Two bedrooms, three reception rooms and a landscaped garden area make it a desirable option for couples or smaller families.
Most of the property’s living space is spread across one floor. This includes a good-sized sitting room with dual aspect windows, an impressive double height ceiling, statement wooden beams and a woodburning stove. Leading off this is a galley-style kitchen and dining area benefiting from traditional light-coloured units and grey slate tiling.
Also on the ground floor are two bedrooms. This includes a principal bedroom and an adjoining en suite featuring a shower over the bath. The second bedroom is slightly larger and benefits from beautiful hardwood beams and views across the garden and nearby woods. A modern family bathroom with a built-in shower unit completes the living accommodation on this floor.
A staircase off the dining area leads to a room in the eaves which could be used as an office, an additional living area or a family room.
