More About Sportmans Cottage

An exceptionally rare opportunity to acquire this impressive and beautifully presented family home, privately positioned within the exclusive enclave of Sportsman Cottages, a collection of just five individual residences accessed via electric gates and surrounded by protected ancient woodland. First brought to the market since being acquired by the same family in 1999, this remarkable home offers a unique combination of privacy, space and tranquillity, with a setting that is truly difficult to replicate.

Extending to over 3,300 sq. Ft. Across three floors, the property provides versatile and generously proportioned accommodation, perfectly suited to modern family living. Occupying a particularly desirable position at the top of the private road, the house enjoys an enviable sense of seclusion, with woodland surroundings and a wonderful connection to nature.

One of the property's most distinctive advantages is its genuinely independent private setting. Although ideally placed to enjoy the amenities and lifestyle associated with Kings Hill, Sportsman Cottages is separate from the Kings Hill estate, with its own private road and no estate service or management charges. This offers the best of both worlds: Convenient access to local amenities alongside the peace, privacy and individuality of an exclusive five-home development.

Upon entering, the generous accommodation unfolds to reveal a welcoming and thoughtfully arranged interior. The spacious kitchen and dining area forms a natural hub of the home, providing an ideal setting for everyday family life and entertaining. A substantial adjoining utility room adds valuable practicality, while three further reception rooms offer flexibility for formal entertaining, relaxing, working from home or accommodating the changing needs of family life. A downstairs cloakroom completes the ground floor.

The first floor offers four well-proportioned double bedrooms, each benefiting from fitted wardrobes, with three enjoying the added luxury of en-suite facilities. A family bathroom and spacious landing complete this floor, while an attractive feature window on the staircase allows natural light to flow through the home and creates a striking transition to the upper level.

Occupying the entire top floor, the impressive principal suite provides a private sanctuary away from the main living accommodation. This exceptional space incorporates a generous modern en-suite bathroom and a beautifully proportioned dressing room. Juliet balcony doors frame delightful views across the well-maintained rear garden, while views to the front extend over the private road and surrounding woodland, reinforcing the peaceful and secluded character of the property.

Outside, the rear garden enjoys a desirable south-facing aspect, providing an inviting space to relax, entertain and enjoy the sunshine throughout the day. With no overlooking properties, the garden offers a particularly welcome degree of privacy, complemented by its attractive outlook and established surroundings.

Further benefits include a double garage and ample additional driveway parking, providing excellent provision for family vehicles and visiting guests.

Despite its wonderfully secluded setting, the property remains conveniently positioned for West Malling railway station, which is within walking distance, as well as nearby footpaths leading towards Manor Park and the charming town of West Malling. This combination of accessibility, green surroundings and private living makes the location especially appealing.

Sportsman Cottages is far more than simply a substantial family home; it is a rare opportunity to enjoy a private woodland setting, exceptional space and a genuinely distinctive lifestyle. With its gated entrance, exclusive five-property development, protected ancient woodland surroundings and absence of Kings Hill estate service and management charges, this is a home that stands apart from anything typically available locally.

An outstanding and rarely available home, offering privacy, versatility and a truly special setting, all within easy reach of the amenities and connections of West Malling and Kings Hill.
