Jack's note-

"Once part of two separate properties, this charming detached cottage originally served as both a small residential home and a convenience store for the local community. Today, it has been thoughtfully adapted into a spacious four-bedroom detached period home, perfectly suited to modern family living while retaining its character and history.

Situated in the heart of the sought-after village of Matfield, the property enjoys a picturesque setting with a large village green and pond—ideal for leisurely walks. The area is also home to several welcoming country pubs where you can relax with good food and drink. If you’re looking for a personal recommendation, The Poet is certainly worth a visit.

Despite its rural charm, Matfield is well connected to the nearby towns of Paddock Wood, Tunbridge Wells, and Tonbridge, with regular public transport links making commuting straightforward. Families are well catered for, with the highly regarded Brenchley Primary School located less than a mile away, and a wide choice of secondary schools available in the surrounding towns.

“Come round the back” is a phrase often heard at country homes, and it suits this property perfectly. Accessed through the rear garden, the entrance offers a sense of privacy, security, and peaceful rural living. There are two ways inside—either through the conservatory or via the practical utility/boot room.

The ground floor offers spacious, well-flowing accommodation designed with family life in mind. The lounge, positioned at the front of the house and spanning the full width of the property, showcases attractive period features along with a wood-burning stove and back boiler that helps heat the rest of the home.

At the heart of the house is the generous open-plan kitchen and dining space. The kitchen cabinetry complements the home’s period charm, and with a useful pantry and plenty of room for a large dining table, it provides the perfect setting for family meals and entertaining.

Completing the ground floor is a utility area, boot room, shower room, and conservatory, adding practicality and flexibility to the layout.

Upstairs, the landing offers enough space to serve as a home office area if desired. There are four well-proportioned double bedrooms along with a standout family bathroom featuring a freestanding bath and separate shower.

Externally, the property benefits from a spacious driveway to the front, providing parking for multiple vehicles. To the rear, a detached garage offers further parking or useful storage space. The rear garden is wonderfully private, with a sunny orientation and surrounded by the calming sounds of nature.

This is a home that truly needs to be viewed in person to fully appreciate everything it has to offer.
