Orchard View is a quiet cul-de-sac set within the highly regarded village of Detling, a tranquil Kentish village nestled within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty at the foot of the North Downs. While enjoying all the charm and peace of countryside living, Detling remains exceptionally well connected—located approximately 4 miles from Maidstone and offering swift access to both the M20 and M2 via the A249, making it an ideal base for commuters.
The village itself enjoys a strong community feel and offers a range of amenities including a traditional pub, church, community shop and post office, village hall, children’s play area, cricket ground, and access to woodland walks across the stunning surrounding countryside.
Families are also well served by an excellent selection of nearby schools, including the School of Science and Technology (2.6 miles, approx. 9 mins), Invicta Grammar School (2.8 miles, approx. 8 mins), Maidstone Grammar School (3.3 miles, approx. 11 mins), and Leigh Academy Primary (2 miles, approx. 6 mins).
For rail connections, Bearsted Station is around a 5-minute drive away, providing direct services to London Bridge in approximately 59 minutes and London Victoria in around 70 minutes. Ebbsfleet International is also within easy reach—approximately 24 minutes (18 miles)—offering high-speed services to London St Pancras in as little as 19 minutes.
This is a rare location that truly offers the best of both worlds: peaceful village living surrounded by countryside, with outstanding connectivity for modern life.
