A Magnificent Contemporary Residence With Countryside Views, Heated Pool & Luxury Outdoor Entertaining Space

Set within 0.32 acres of landscaped gardens and extending to more than 3,700 sq. Ft., Jolimont is an outstanding contemporary residence that perfectly blends luxury, versatility, and location. Extensively remodelled and extended, it offers five bedrooms, four bathrooms, and a series of impressive living spaces, all designed with modern family life and entertaining in mind. The property enjoys a private setting with spectacular views over open countryside, yet lies just moments from the charming village of Chilham.

The exterior makes a striking impression, combining crisp white render and modern cladding with anthracite framed glazing. At the rear, over 60 feet of bi-folding doors run across the width of the house, creating a seamless transition from indoors to the gardens beyond. Inside, the entrance hall sets the tone, with oak flooring, feature lighting, and a sense of space that carries throughout.

To the front of the home are two refined reception rooms: A formal sitting room and an elegant dining room with log burner. The true heart of the property, however, is the spectacular rear extension. Added in 2014, it spans the full width of the house, filled with natural light from roof lanterns and bi-fold doors. Here you’ll find an open-plan kitchen and breakfast room, a relaxed family lounge, and a games room with bar, a space designed for both everyday comfort and memorable occasions.

The kitchen is beautifully appointed, with a vast granite topped island and a full suite of integrated appliances including a coffee machine, wine cooler, and range style cooker. Bespoke cabinetry and generous worktops combine practicality with elegance, while a utility room and study add further convenience on the ground floor.

Upstairs, the master suite is a luxurious retreat, complete with a dressing room fitted with wardrobes and a spa inspired en suite featuring a whirlpool bath, walk in shower, and travertine finishes. Two additional double bedrooms enjoy their own en suite shower rooms, while the remaining bedrooms are served by a stylish family bathroom, ensuring flexibility for family and guests.

Outside, the gardens are designed for both relaxation and entertaining. A broad flagstone terrace runs across the back of the property, ideal for alfresco dining, while steps lead to a heated swimming pool with changing facilities and a hot tub set against the backdrop of rolling fields. A newly constructed outdoor kitchen and entertainment suite takes centre stage for gatherings, with a built-in BBQ, smoker, fridge, and an automated roof system that adapts to the seasons. Mature trees, sweeping lawns, and ornamental planting add to the sense of privacy and tranquillity.

Practical touches complete the home, including a gated in and out driveway, extensive parking, and a garage.

Jolimont represents a rare opportunity: A home of exceptional scale and quality, balancing sleek contemporary design with the warmth and practicality of family living, all within one of Kent’s most desirable countryside settings.
