A charming, detached period cottage enjoying a tucked away, rural position on the edge of the sought-after village of Matfield with direct access to the surrounding countryside
Orchard Cottage is a highly attractive and enchanting period cottage, which enjoys spacious, characterful, well-proportioned accommodation which is beautifully styled and presented throughout.
On the ground floor, the well-appointed shaker style kitchen is fitted with both base and wall cabinetry providing good storage, together with granite worksurface offering ample preparation space, and a range of integrated appliances including an AGA oven. The kitchen is open to the generous breakfast room with French doors opening onto the terrace and gardens beyond.
There are three further reception rooms; a formal dining room with feature fireplace and wood-burning stove, with a view over the front gardens, a delightful and sizeable, triple aspect sitting room with fireplace and French doors opening to the rear terrace, and access to the dual aspect study/snug with fitted furniture, providing an ideal spot for working from home. A cloakroom with wc and utility area completes the ground floor.
On the first floor, all of the bedrooms are light, bright and enjoy a pleasant outlook over the gardens; there is a sizeable principal bedroom with dressing area, a bank of fitted wardrobes and an en suite bathroom. There are three further double bedrooms, one of which has an impressive vaulted ceiling with exposed beams. A further single bedroom and a separate family bathroom complete the accommodation.
Outside: Orchard Cottage enjoys a generous plot, surrounded by the lovingly landscaped and established gardens, with herbaceous borders and specimen planting. The cottage is approached via a brick-paved pathway that leads through the pretty front gardens, to the porch. A paved terrace spans the width of the house to the rear providing a wonderful, private space for outdoor entertaining whilst enjoying the view over the gardens to the rear.
There is driveway parking for several vehicles to the front of the property.

This is a very special opportunity, Orchard Cottage enjoys a hidden location, but not an isolated position and is found in the very heart of the Garden of England. The cottage has such a welcoming feel, it's not hard to imagine being very happy here!
