The property is situated in a non-estate location, bordering farmland in this sought after village. Boughton Monchelsea is a sprawling village on the southern side of Maidstone. It is well connected to the town yet still offers a sense of being in the countryside. There are many public footpaths that criss-cross the rural landscape including the famous Greensand Way, a picturesque 108-mile trail along the Greensand Ridge. In the local area, you can enjoy a walk around the gardens of Boughton Monchelsea Place (summer only), play cricket at Linton Park Cricket Club a couple of minutes away by car, or visit the lovely Buttercups Goat Sanctuary. Further afield you have the lovely Leeds castle with its year-round events programme, just 12 minutes away by car. Golfers are spoilt for choice locally with 18 hole courses at Leeds Castle, Bearsted Golf Club, and Tudor Park Marriot Hotel and Country Club, all within around 15-minutes drive. The Bull Inn is six minutes away by car (2.2 miles) and has a selection of cask and keg ales, serves food and host functions, and the garden with spectacular far-reaching views is the perfect place to enjoy a warm summer evening. For children's education, The Cornwallis Academy secondary school (rated Good at latest Ofsted inspection) is a few minutes away by car (1.6 miles). Boughton Monchelsea Primary school (Ofsted Good) is just 2 minutes away by car (0.9 miles) and the highly sought-after Loose Primary School is just 7 minutes away by car (2.8 miles) and was rated Outstanding by Ofsted in 2016 prior to it becoming an academy. The property is a 2-minute walk to a bus stop with services to Maidstone, providing access to Maidstone’s highly-regarded grammar schools. Sutton Valence is the next neighbouring village and has a well-renowned independent school. Commuters to London can drive to Ebbsfleet International (around 35 minutes/22 miles) by car) and jump on the regular high-speed to trains that whisk you to London St Pancras in just 19 minutes or drive around 12 minutes (6.4 miles) to Marden station with services to London Bridge in 47 minutes.
We fell in love with this house the first time we saw it, and it has been a great family home ever since we moved in.
The open-plan ground floor and garden have been perfect for hosting family Christmases and summer get-togethers.
The views from every window make the space feel bright and open. In spring and summer, the garden comes alive, attracting a variety of birds.
During the warmer months, we open the bifold doors to enjoy the garden, and in winter, the log burner keeps the house warm and cosy.
The house is surrounded by farmland, with plenty of lovely country walks nearby.
We’re relocating due to work, but we’ll be sad to leave. We’re sure the next owners will enjoy it as much as we have.
