About this property

SOLD BY HAMPTONS. Located on the outskirts of the village, this stunning detached house boasts a highly desirable and secluded position. The property features beautifully landscaped gardens and grounds, and offers picturesque views of the surrounding area.

Situated in a tucked-away position at the end of a long driveway, this attractive Victorian cottage enjoys beautiful views over its own land and beyond and has been superbly designed for modern living with many period features of the original building blending seamlessly with contemporary design to create a wonderful, unique home.

The accommodation, which is arranged across just two floors, is superb with areas of open plan space and private living areas all beautifully presented in neutral tones. Of particular note is the 26ft kitchen/dining room – a fabulous triple aspect area approached via symmetrical curved steps and beautifully fitted with extensive floor and wall mounted units including a large central island; all under stone work surfaces. The drawing room has windows to either end, wide wooden flooring continued from the entrance hall, a wood burner set within a fireplace and bi-folding doors opening to a loggia – a lovely covered area to sit, dine and entertain. There is an additional double aspect snug/study, fitted utility room with door to outside and a cloakroom.

Upstairs, the principal bedroom is impressive with a vaulted ceiling, wonderful views and a private bathroom with walk-in shower. The guest bedroom also has an en suite whilst the two remaining bedrooms, both with fireplaces and built in wardrobes, are very well served by the family bathroom.

Outside
Set well back from Sophurst Lane, a long drive leads to the property where there is parking for numerous vehicles and access to the detached oak framed garage with electronic roller doors, power and lighting. The gardens surround the house but are predominantly to the rear and are mainly laid to lawn with post and rail fencing denoting the boundaries whilst allowing unobstructed views of the surrounding fields and woodland. There is also a superb kitchen garden adjoining the house with numerous raised beds and irrigation system. Next to the garage, and enjoying the lovely views, there is an excellent heated garden studio which could be utilised in many ways.

Situation
The house is situated off Sophurst Lane to the rear of St Luke’s church, in a semi-rural setting, yet within walking distance of the village of Matfield with its cricket pitch, duck pond and picturesque village green, the largest in Kent. There is also a village butcher/general store and two pub/restaurants. There are some wonderful country walks and footpaths nearby and yet the village is less than 3 miles from Paddock Wood, with its shopping for everyday needs, Waitrose supermarket and mainline station with train links to Charing Cross/Waterloo East/London Bridge/Cannon Street and Ashford International/Dover Priory. The A21 and access to the M25 is 1 mile away and the larger town of Tunbridge Wells offers a wider variety of shopping options including the historic High Street and Pantiles, plus popular Grammar schools and alternative stations.
