Occupying a spectacular edge-of-village position on the outskirts of the picturesque and highly sought-after village of Elham, this exceptional four-bedroom detached family home enjoys far-reaching countryside views and sits within approximately 3.5 acres of beautifully maintained gardens and paddock land.
Beautifully presented throughout and finished to an exacting standard, the property offers over 2,700 sq ft of versatile accommodation designed for modern family living. A welcoming entrance hall leads to a series of elegant reception spaces, including a generous sitting room, family room and study.
The true heart of the home is the stunning open-plan kitchen/breakfast room, perfectly complemented by an impressive dining room featuring an extensive roof lantern and bi-fold doors that flood the space with natural light while creating a seamless connection to the gardens beyond.
The first floor provides four well-proportioned bedrooms, all enjoying delightful rural outlooks. The spacious principal bedroom, complete with an en suite shower room, is particularly impressive, benefiting from glorious far-reaching views across the surrounding countryside, while the remaining bedrooms are served by a well-appointed family bathroom.
Gardens and Grounds
Externally, the property is approached via an expansive frontage providing ample parking for numerous vehicles, together with a substantial detached double garage. A driveway continues beyond the house, leading to the garage and extending onwards to the equestrian facilities. The beautifully landscaped gardens offer an attractive balance of formal lawns, mature planting and private outdoor spaces, ideal for both entertaining and relaxation.
Beyond the gardens lies a fenced paddock, complemented by an excellent range of outbuildings including multiple stables and a tack room, making the property particularly well suited to equestrian purchasers or those seeking a smallholding lifestyle.

Situated on the edge of the charming and highly desirable village of Elham, the property benefits from an excellent range of local amenities including a primary school, GP surgery, church, village hall, cricket club, museum and renowned gastro pub, together with access to the scenic Elham Valley Way.
