The Green, Matfield

Matfield

We are delighted to offer this "chocolate box" country cottage, offering immense curb appeal in an idyllic location right next to Matfield village green and highly regarded pond. Matfield and Brenchley share the same parish, both villages are in a Conservation area to be admired. Tapsters Cottage has undergone a complete transformation, successfully blending modern convenience with old-world charm. Matfield itself provides beautiful walks through the surrounding countryside, featuring apple orchards, farmland, and forest areas. The village green serves as a hub for local events and features a cricket pavilion which plays home to regular cricket matches. Additionally, local amenities include Hammonds Butchers, which also provides everyday groceries. The Poet (walking distance) is a public house / fine dining restaurant and The Star (even closer) is a family public house offering traditional 'pub grub'. For commuters, a bus service links the area to neighbouring...

Brenchley

Brenchley is the neighbouring village in the parish of Matfield. A quintessential village with historic listed properties, primary school, (1.1 mile), Grays cafe and The Little Bull wine bar. Clubs to be enjoyed are, bowls, tennis, football and squash. Brenchley still has a Post office/newsagents.
