450,000 - 500,000 Guide Price. A rare opportunity to acquire a secluded plot of approximately one-third of an acre with full planning permission for a detached five-bedroom family home of around 2,000 sq ft, ideally located for excellent schools and transport links. Fine & Country are delighted to present this rare and exciting opportunity to acquire a building plot of approximately one third of an acre, benefiting from full planning permission for the construction of an attractive detached five-bedroom family home in a peaceful semi-rural setting on the outskirts of the historic village of East Malling. Occupying a secluded position along a quiet country lane and approached via a private driveway, the plot offers purchasers the chance to create a beautifully designed family home that balances traditional architectural character with the practical demands of modern living. The approved plans showcase an elegant double fronted residence, with bay windows framing the central entrance and a thoughtfully considered layout designed around the way families live today. Extending to approximately 2,000 square feet, the proposed accommodation offers generous proportions and a flowing configuration, providing a natural balance between formal reception areas and relaxed family spaces. At the heart of the home lies a superb open plan kitchen, dining and family room spanning the full width of the property. Designed as the social hub of the house, this impressive space is flooded with natural light, whilst three sets of bi-fold doors open directly onto the garden, creating a seamless transition between inside and out, perfect for entertaining, family gatherings and al fresco dining throughout the warmer months. A separate formal reception room provides a more intimate setting for relaxing or entertaining, whilst a dedicated home office offers valuable flexibility for those working remotely. The ground floor is further enhanced by a practical utility room, a generous reception hall and a conveniently positioned cloakroom. The first floor has been carefully arranged to provide excellent family accommodation. The principal bedroom enjoys the luxury of an en suite shower room and views across the surrounding gardens, whilst the second bedroom also benefits from its own en suite facilities. Three further bedrooms are served by a well appointed family bathroom, creating a versatile layout capable of adapting to changing family requirements for years to come. Outside, the plot extends to approximately one third of an acre, offering ample space for landscaped gardens, outdoor entertaining areas and family recreation. The private setting and mature surroundings create a sense of tranquillity rarely found, whilst still providing excellent access to local amenities and transport connections. East Malling is one of Kent's most desirable villages, prized for its rich history, attractive surroundings and strong sense of community. The village offers a range of everyday amenities, well regarded schools and a mainline railway station, whilst the county town of Maidstone lies within easy reach, providing an extensive selection of shopping, leisure and dining facilities. Excellent road connections place the M20 motorway network within convenient reach, making the area particularly appealing to commuters travelling to London and beyond. Building plots with planning permission in established village locations are increasingly difficult to find, making this a genuinely rare opportunity to create a bespoke family home in one of Kent's most sought-after settings.
