A highly attractive, detached, period family home within the sought-after village of Matfield and within five miles of Tunbridge Wells.
The Old Bakery is a handsome, detached period home nestled comfortably within its plot of nearly a ¼ acre within Matfield, ideally placed for village life. The property is believed to date back to the 18th Century and boasts much character with charming period features throughout, with family-friendly accommodation set across three floors.
The delightful country-style kitchen overlooks the garden to the rear and benefits from attractive quarry tile flooring and base and wall cabinetry topped with granite worktops, offering good storage and preparation space. There is an AGA, a Belfast sink and range of integrated appliances. A stable door opens onto the terrace and garden beyond. A utility room adjoins the kitchen with space for further white goods.
The reception space is generous and flexible. An impressive and welcoming sitting room has a large inglenook fireplace and log burner, sitting to the front of the house, it is flooded with light from the large bay window, this space is open to the formal dining room which overlooks the garden. There is a further sizeable reception room, used by our clients as a reading room/study, but this could of course be a further TV room or playroom.
The bedrooms are arranged across two floors and can be used flexibly, either making use of all six rooms as bedrooms or adapting the spaces to suit. The principal bedroom is of a good size with plenty of storage space and an en suite bathroom. Bedroom Two is also en suite with two further bedrooms on this floor served by the well-appointed shower room. The second floor provides two further dual aspect rooms, that can act as further bedrooms if required or, as our clients have done as needs have changed over time, a further home office and a large walk-in wardrobe.
Outside - The large paved terrace, which spans the rear of the house provides a delightful area from which to entertain and enjoy the outlook over the garden. The level garden is mainly laid to lawn, with ease of maintenance in mind, ideal for child's play. There is also a very useful detached outbuilding/garden store.
The gated driveway provides parking for several vehicles, together with the detached double garage with a useful pedestrian access directly into the rear garden.

The Old Bakery offers what so many of us want, village life with easy access to nearby towns and amenities. I love that you have just a short walk into the heart of the village and there is such a vibrant and thriving community to enjoy but you also have a choice of nearby towns whenever you need them.
