We wanted lots of space and found this charming and spacious family home and also bought additional land to create an even larger garden. We are not overlooked and, because of the lakes and the surrounding woodland there is no likelihood of any future development. During our time here we have had a new roof put on in 2017, installed a new kitchen, replaced the conservatory/loggia, redecorated throughout and renewed the water treatment plant.

Extant planning permission exists for a second double garage and workshop and Planning has agreed in principle that the footprint could be enlarged to provide for an annex.

Matfield is a friendly place and includes a village green, two pubs, a butcher’s shop and the village hall with a post office and regular activities. There is easy road access to the surrounding towns and villages including nearby Paddock Wood with its stores, individual shops, bars, restaurants and a station where trains can whisk you to London Bridge in 41 minutes. There are two good primary schools and a good secondary school. While Tonbridge, Tunbridge Wells and Sevenoaks offer excellent grammar and private schools.
