Stunning Victorian Detached Home with Contemporary Cedar-Clad Extension in Meopham, KentNestled in the heart of Meopham, just moments from the train station, local amenities, and major transport links, this exceptional five-bedroom detached Victorian residence offers over 3000 sq. ft. (279 sq. meters) of beautifully presented living space. Combining the grandeur of Victorian architecture with modern, open-plan living, this property seamlessly blends period charm with contemporary elegance.
The house boasts a striking exterior, featuring low-maintenance cement-based cladding designed to resemble original timber boarding, ensuring both a classic aesthetic and minimal upkeep. A newly designed, architecturally impressive lower ground rear extension is beautifully cladded with warm, natural cedar wood, adding sophistication and modern appeal. The property also benefits from newly re-laid natural slate roofs, expertly matched to the original design by the vendor, enhancing the property's timeless appeal.
Upon entering, a large, elegant covered entrance porch with a part-glazed slate roof welcomes you to the home. The grand hallway offers a coat and store cupboard for added convenience. To the right, the expansive living room features high ceilings, original Victorian coving, a beautiful fireplace, and an abundance of natural light, creating an inviting and comfortable atmosphere. On the left, a second reception room is currently utilized as a study, offering a serene space to relax while overlooking the bustling village beyond. Continuing down the hallway, a third reception room serves currently as a home gym. Throughout the property, original Victorian features—including doorbells, coving, and four fireplaces—add a sense of timeless elegance.
At the rear of the property, the open-plan lower ground extension is an outstanding feature. Designed with style and functionality in mind, this expansive space encompasses a spacious living area, dining area, and a beautifully appointed kitchen. The room is bathed in natural light through seven wide bifold doors, opening onto the garden and offering a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor living. The double-glazed bifold doors are fitted with integrated blinds, allowing for privacy and light control. Engineered oak flooring and a stunning frameless roof light with integrated blinds enhance the luxurious feel, while the shaker-style kitchen, with its large island and tiled feature wall, creates a sociable and functional environment. A log burner next to the dining area adds warmth and charm, perfect for cozy evenings. A downstairs WC and a large utility room—complete with an additional hob and extractor for a chef’s or spice kitchen—are conveniently located off this space.
The property is complemented by beautifully landscaped gardens to both the front and rear, which are floodlit, allowing the gardens' beauty to shine even after dark. The rear garden is particularly impressive, featuring a large decking area, mature planting, and a former stable with two levels: the first floor offers additional storage, while the ground level serves as a workshop. Behind the stable, there is a large garden tool/potting shed, and the garden also includes a fully equipped greenhouse, ideal for gardening enthusiasts.
Upstairs, the grandeur continues with five generously sized double bedrooms. The master suite features a stylish ensuite bathroom, while the remaining bedrooms share access to a family bathroom with both a bath and a separate shower. Two additional bedrooms benefit from their own ensuites, making this home ideal for family living or hosting guests.
Further features include a large integral garage with an electric garage door, off-road parking for four to five cars, a zoned security alarm system for peace of mind, and a small cellar for additional storage. The property is ideally located just a short walk from Meopham train station, offering direct connections into London, and is within easy reach of local shops, pubs, and the nearby Morrisons supermarket. The motorway network is just minutes away by car, and Ebbsfleet International Station is only a 15-minute drive, providing excellent commuter options.
