MARDON HOUSE, PINESFIELD LANE, TROTTISCLIFFE, KENT, ME19 5EN 01732 884422 Enquiries@Hillier-Reynolds.Co.Uk MARDON HOUSE, PINESFIELD LANE, TROTTISCLIFFE, KENT, ME19 5EN 01732 884422 [email protected] www.hillier-reynolds.co.uk £825,000 FREEHOLD This is a stunning 6 bedroom detached family home that offers an abundance of space. Found in an idyllic position with stunning countryside views. Wonderful garden for all to enjoy with beautiful Summer House/Studio. If you are searching for a spacious home in a rural, countryside setting then this amazingly spacious 6 bedroom detached home may well be the end of your search. Before you enter this lovely home we would advise you to turn around! The views you have are from the edge of the beautiful Trosley Country Park & the famous Pilgrims Way on one side and all the way down the road overlooking Trottiscliffe and Addington villages and beyond. These views give you the best idea of the peaceful, countryside setting that this home enjoys. They get even better when you proceed upstairs. Once you're inside you immediately get an idea of the amount of space and rooms this home benefits from. Found off of the first entrance hallway is the study, ideal if you wish to work from home or need somewhere quiet for the children to do homework. There is a large storage cupboard that is big enough to hold the number of coats and shoes needed for a home of this size and its occupants. Next is the downstairs W.C, a must for a large, busy family home. All this and you have not entered the main part of the house! The inner hallway allows access to the main living areas of the home. The Lounge is a big room that can hold plenty of furniture. The large window to front lets in plenty of light as well as making the most of the views. There is an open fireplace to make it cosy in colder months and the shelved recess makes an attractive focal point of the room. Next is the dining room that opens onto the conservatory. If you enjoy having family and friends round this will make a lovely space for entertaining. The conservatory offers a lovely view over the garden and if to be a large number of guests then it could be a further dining area to extend from the dining room. The kitchen and breakfast room will probably be the hub of the home and has been finished beautifully. The well-designed kitchen offers plenty of storage and work top space all set within white gloss units that make the whole space light and bright. The breakfast room follows the same theme and is big enough for its own sizeable dining room suite. Through the next door you find the utility room, again a must for a home of this size. Upstairs are 6 separate, great sized bedrooms, many of them benefiting from the fantastic countryside views. All the rooms are excellent sizes so there should not be any arguing over room selection. The master bedroom was once 2 rooms so it offers excellent potential to be converted to have a dressing room area and or an en-suite. There should also be no queuing in the mornings as there is a beautifully appointed bathroom and shower room. Outside are gardens that all can enjoy. The covered patio area is ideal for entertaining or relaxing in all weathers. The lawn area is large enough for the children to play in and the established borders will keep the green fingered happy. The summerhouse has a multitude of uses. A room for the children to call their own, a studio to pursue your favourite hobby or even a gym to keep fit at home. It can be difficult sometimes to live in the country knowing that you may be forsaking convenience. We feel that this location can offer the best of both worlds. For commuters you have a choice of stations. Borough Green train station is less than 5 miles away and you have multiple routes to get there. Meopham station is less than 6 miles away and both offer regular service into London. If travelling by car to London or the coast then the M20, M26 & M25 motorways are a short drive away. For shops you have again a choice, beautiful West Malling village is nearby with large superstores for your weekly shop found at either Kings Hill or Larkfield both approximately 15 minutes’ drive away. So if you need a large family home that is in wonderful condition and dream of it being in a glorious countryside setting you really must come along and see what this home could offer you, you will not be disappointed.

  • Area Planning Committee Part 1 Public Alleged Unauthorised
    Area Planning Committee Alleged Unauthorised Development Trottiscliffe 10/00184/UNAUTU 564399 159771 Downs Location: Trosley Farm Addington Lane Trottiscliffe West Malling Kent 1. Purpose of Report: 1.1 To report the unauthorised erection of decking on land used for the keeping or grazing of horses. 2. The Site: 2.1 The site is a large agricultural field to the south side of Addington Lane. 3. History: 3.1 No relevant planning history. 4. Alleged Unauthorised Development: 4.1 Without planning permission the construction of decking. 5. Determining Issues: 5.1 The Authority received information that a caravan had been placed on the site. On investigation it was clear that the caravan at that time and at the current time was not occupied but used by the landowner as when he is on site to look after his horses. The caravan is used as a shelter and for the making of refreshments and as such can be described as a chattel not requiring the benefit of planning permission from this Authority, as it involves neither a change of use nor operational development. 5.2 However, it was clear when the site was inspected that a decking area had been created adjacent to but not attached to the caravan. The erection of this decking is operational development that requires planning permission from the local planning authority. It was made clear to the owner that this development would require the benefit of planning permission and he was invited to make a planning application. Despite a number of reminders no such application has been submitted.

(1) The School Organisation Advisory Board at its meeting on 18 May 2006 supported the undertaking of a public consultation on the proposal to close Trottiscliffe Church of England (Voluntary Controlled) Primary School.
