GUIDE PRICE £1,500,000 - £1,750,000

A rare opportunity to acquire a charming 1930’s detached farmhouse set within approximately six acres of peaceful Kent countryside, complete with extensive equestrian facilities, outbuildings and breathtaking rural surroundings.

Positioned within one of the area’s most desirable semi-rural locations, this beautiful home offers a lifestyle that is incredibly difficult to replicate: complete tranquillity, privacy and natural beauty, whilst remaining within walking distance of West Malling train station, a short drive to the motorway and excellent transport links.

Approached through private gated access, with substantial parking for approximately 6–10 vehicles, the property immediately offers a sense of space, character and escape from modern busy living. The setting is simply stunning, surrounded by open land, mature planting, paddocks and an abundance of wildlife including deer, badgers, foxes, rabbits and countless bird species.

Originally built in the 1930’s, the farmhouse retains immense charm and warmth throughout, with hardwood flooring, high ceilings, large windows and beautifully proportioned accommodation designed to embrace the surrounding countryside views.
Internally, the home offers a wonderful semi open-plan layout downstairs, ideal for modern family living and entertaining. The dining room acts as the centrepiece of the ground floor and flows beautifully through into both the conservatory and kitchen, creating a sociable and versatile living space filled with natural light and views across the grounds.

The dining room itself is a particularly striking feature, centred around a magnificent inglenook fireplace with wood burner — creating an incredibly atmospheric setting for entertaining, family gatherings and cosy evenings during the colder months.

The conservatory enjoys French doors opening directly onto the patio and surrounding gardens, further enhancing the seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living.

The farmhouse kitchen is equally impressive, complete with Aga, breakfast bar and central island, offering a perfect balance of character and practicality for day-to-day family life. With plenty of storage this home is equipped for both large and small families alike!

Separate from the open-plan entertaining areas is the spacious dual-aspect lounge featuring large bay-fronted windows, creating a bright yet cosy reception room ideal for relaxing away from the main hub of the home.

The ground floor further benefits from a separate utility room complete with butler sink, fitted cabinetry and washing machine space, alongside a convenient downstairs W/C and generous under-stairs storage cupboard.

Upstairs, the property continues to impress with four generously sized double bedrooms. The principal suite is particularly special — a large dual-aspect room with en-suite facilities and uninterrupted views across the land, where sunsets can be enjoyed directly from the bedroom windows. Bedrooms two, three and four are all comfortable doubles, with bedroom four offering deep built-in storage. Bedroom two benefits from dual-aspect windows and access out onto the balcony which has new composite decking installed!

Externally, Springate Farm truly excels.
The equestrian facilities are substantial and offer fantastic flexibility for both personal and commercial use. The re-wired stable block benefits from:
• Large Tack room which can also be converted into a detached garage if required.
• Hay storage
• Kitchen area
• Two W/C facilities

The paddocks all benefit from accessible water supply and there is excellent scope for future expansion, including the creation of additional paddocks or converting the current grass school into a sand school, subject to any required permissions.

The grounds themselves also offer potential passive income opportunities through paddock rental or equestrian use.

Further outbuildings include a substantial tractor shed of brick and block construction with concrete flooring and a mechanic’s work pit, providing excellent storage, workshop or additional parking potential.

For those seeking a self-sufficient or lifestyle-focused home, the land itself is incredibly special. Formerly an orchard, the grounds retain multiple apple varieties including Russet, Discovery, Spartan and Lord Derby, alongside wildflowers and an impressive collection of 23 native tree and shrub species, creating a rich and established natural environment.

There are also two greenhouses, multiple muck heaps cleared regularly every 3–4 months, and direct access to excellent hacking routes through the surrounding countryside.

Despite its idyllic rural feel, the property remains exceptionally well connected. West Malling station is accessible via a short walk in under five minutes, offering direct commuter links whilst local shops, restaurants, schools and amenities remain close by.
Springate Farm is far more than simply a home — it is a lifestyle property offering peace, freedom, equestrian opportunity and countryside living in one of Kent’s most sought-after locations.

Properties of this nature rarely come to market and viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the scale, setting and potential on offer.
