4 bed detached house to buy in ME18

Four/five bedroom detached home set in approx. three acres in Yalding, with a 1,100 sq ft self-contained annexe, gated entrance and established orchard grounds.

The Orchard is a four/five-bedroom detached residence of genuine scale and character, set within approximately three acres of established grounds on the edge of Yalding — one of the most sought-after villages in this part of Kent.

Accessed via a gated entrance and a sweeping private driveway, the approach sets the tone immediately. Extensive parking sits to the front, and the mature planting and grounds that open out beyond give a clear sense of what this property is: a private country home of real substance, where the feeling of space and seclusion is something you appreciate from the moment you arrive.

Inside, the accommodation has been arranged for both relaxed family living and more formal entertaining. The living room is a refined, welcoming space, whilst the conservatory — an impressively proportioned room in its own right — draws the eye across the private grounds and Orchard, creating a seamless connection between the interior and the landscape that transforms the home through the warmer months. At the heart of the property, the kitchen has been fitted to an exceptional standard: bespoke cabinetry throughout, luxurious quartz worktops and generous preparation space make this a room designed for family life on a grand scale — equally at home for a quiet weekday breakfast or a dinner party with a dozen guests. A ground-floor shower room adds practical convenience that a household of this size genuinely benefits from.

On the first floor, four generous double bedrooms are all beautifully presented and well served by natural light throughout the day. A family bathroom and a separate shower room serve the upper floor comfortably, with the layout ensuring that busy mornings run efficiently for the whole household.

The self-contained annexe, extending to over 1,100 square feet, is arguably the property's defining feature. Comprising a spacious lounge and games room, a dedicated office, a double bedroom, a contemporary shower room, and a fully equipped gym — with sliding doors opening onto a private patio overlooking the grounds — this space adapts entirely to whatever the household needs. A family member who values independence, guests who deserve genuine privacy, or a home-working environment of a standard that purpose-built offices rarely match: the annexe responds to all of these, and does so without impinging on the main house in the slightest.

Outside, the grounds reward time spent exploring them. Expansive lawns, mature trees, an established orchard and carefully landscaped areas give the garden a settled, natural character that takes years to achieve — a backdrop that cannot be replicated overnight and that makes itself felt in the everyday quality of life the property offers. A substantial outbuilding adds further versatility, whether as generous storage, workshop space, or as the basis for a variety of future uses subject to any necessary consents.

Yalding is a village of genuine appeal: traditional pubs, a village shop, an award-winning post office and a well-regarded primary school all sit within easy reach, along with the kind of community atmosphere that draws families here and keeps them. Nearby Paddock Wood offers a comprehensive range of amenities and, crucially, a mainline railway station with direct services into London — making The Orchard an outstanding choice for commuting families seeking a countryside lifestyle without sacrificing connectivity.

ONLINE AUCTION NOTICE

I hereby acknowledge and confirm the following:

My bid may be accepted by the seller at any time before the close of the auction. It is subject to the terms and conditions of the auction which I have read and understood. I have read and understood the legal pack applicable to my bid/lot and agree to be bound by any special conditions within that pack.

If my bid is successful (whether as the highest bid or upon acceptance by the seller in the course of the auction) I shall be bound by the lot terms and conditions as advertised online.

Any amount payable at the close of the auction must be paid within 1 hour.

Please note that the bidding process will work in a different way to an eBay auction, so there is NO advantage to bidding at the last second.

Each auction will automatically stay open until there has not been a bid within the final 10 minutes. If no bid has been submitted within the final 10 minutes of the auction, the auction will close and the highest bidder will be successful subject to the reserve price being met or upon acceptance of an offer by the seller throughout the auction cycle. If there is another bid within 10 minutes of the last bid, the auction countdown timer will be restarted for another 10 minutes to allow further bidding. This system avoids last-minute (or second) bidding and makes for a fairer auction as in a live-room auction situation.

Please bid in good time before the end of the auction, delaying your bid to the last seconds may disadvantage you if your connection slows or you lose internet connectivity.

The auctioneer is not responsible for any tech issues, power outage or error messages which hampers or eliminates an individual's opportunity to bid.

It is the bidder's responsibility to ensure the bid has been lodged with the auctioneer. It is therefore beneficial to bid on your chosen lot at your earliest opportunity.

The auctioneer accepts no responsibility for bids that are not received or are received late and reserves the right to reject any bid without notice.
