5 bedroom detached house for sale

Mersham is one of Kent’s most sought-after villages, known for its warm community spirit, its excellent Ofsted-rated village primary school, and its welcoming local hub – The Farriers Arms. Just a short stroll away, the pub doubles as the village’s social heartbeat, offering great food, real ales, and an inviting atmosphere. For commuters, High Speed rail from Ashford International will have you in London in under 40 minutes, while the nearby motorway network makes coastal and cross-channel connections a breeze. Shopping is equally well catered for, from everyday essentials in Ashford to big-name brands at the Ashford Designer Outlet.

Alanthus itself delivers space, style and flexibility in equal measure. It's a home of two halves that seamless integrate but equally can feel very separate. Recently remodelled and upgraded to an exceptional standard, the main home features open-plan living with a feature log burner, a contemporary kitchen and utility, a stylish ground-floor bathroom, and three generous first-floor double bedrooms with an impressive 15ft family bathroom. Panoramic views from the upstairs windows frame rolling fields and open countryside – a daily reminder of why life in Mersham is so special.

A true stand-out feature is the integrated two-storey annexe – offering two further bedrooms and a bathroom with open plan lounge/dining/kitchen to the ground floor – seamlessly flowing into the main residence when desired, or providing independence when shut off. It retains its own entrance from the side of the house, perfect for multigenerational living, guest accommodation or even income potential, this is flexibility at its finest.

Outside, landscaped wraparound gardens frame the property beautifully, with a decked entertainment area, detached summer house (ideal as a home office or entertaining space), and a detached double garage with EV charging point. This is a home designed for modern family life, blending rural tranquillity with commuter convenience.

If you’ve been waiting for the perfect balance of community, countryside and connectivity – Alanthus could be the lifestyle move you’ve been searching for.
