A rare 17th‑century semi‑detached house set on a large plot with wide rural views yet within comfortable walking distance of West Malling high street and station. The home keeps strong period character — exposed beams, inglenook fireplace and leaded windows — while key rooms (kitchen, utility and bathroom) have been modernised for everyday living. The basement room and generous outbuilding with mezzanine add useful flexible space for a home office, hobbies or storage.
The property comfortably suits a couple or downsizer seeking character with practical parking: a long gravel driveway provides multiple off‑street spaces and there is a barn‑style garage/outbuilding. The garden is lawned and bordered by mature trees, offering privacy and attractive countryside outlooks from the rear. The house occupies a semi‑rural edge location in an affluent area with good broadband and easy motorway and rail links to London.
Important practical points: heating relies on electric storage heaters and the council tax is above average. The house retains its historic fabric which brings charm but also means parts of the property could benefit from sensitive updating; potential purchasers should factor maintenance and any works into budgets. Overall the home offers character, scale and scope for modest improvement in a desirable West Malling setting.
