A highly attractive, charming & substantial family home overlooking the village green in the sought-after village of Matfield and within five miles of Tunbridge Wells
Dating from the early 18th century, The White House is a charming and picturesque Grade II listed family home, in this sought-after location overlooking The Green in Matfield. There are many period features throughout, typical of a property of this era, including multi-pane sash windows and exposed timber beams, while still providing generous, bright and beautifully presented accommodation extending to approximately 2199 sq ft.
The ground floor boasts three reception rooms that can be arranged to suit; currently used as a formal dining room, a delightful snug with an open fireplace, and a spacious family room benefitting from a wood-burning stove and bi-folding doors opening to the rear terrace and garden beyond.
The kitchen is fitted with traditional style cabinetry, topped with bespoke solid wooden worksurfaces, providing plentiful storage and preparation space. Appliances include a two-oven AGA which provides heating and hot water, together with an electric oven and integrated dishwasher. The WC completes the ground floor accommodation.
There are four double bedrooms arranged across two floors; the first floor is home to three of the bedrooms which are served by the family bathroom, and all benefit from fitted cabinetry. Two of the bedrooms enjoy a wonderful outlook across The Green.
The principal bedroom found on the second floor is of particular note, enjoying exposed timber beams and an adjoining, sizeable dressing room with vaulted ceilings and a bank of fitted wardrobes. The bedroom is served by the separate, beautifully appointed bathroom, fitted with a freestanding bath, separate shower, WC and sink basin. The cellar provides a useful utility area and is fitted with a sink basin and completes the accommodation.
Outside, the gardens wrap around three sides of the property; there is a charming 'cottage-style' garden to the front, with a pathway leading to a level area of lawn with well-maintained hedging which overlooks the village green. To the rear, there is a terrace spanning the width of the property offering a charming area to entertain friends. There is a flexible summerhouse that can be arranged to suit, perhaps as a gym or home office, ideal for todays' working from home requirements (subject to relevant permissions). The remainder of the garden is mostly laid to lawn, with a raised vegetable garden and children's tree house with playing equipment.
The detached garage and gravelled driveway, which provides parking for up to two vehicles, can also be accessed from the garden via a gated pathway.

I love the position here on the village green! What a privilege to form part of such a well-known and much admired local vista. There is a great community on offer in Matfield and nearby Brenchley and beautiful countryside surrounds you. The perfect spot for keen cricketers, a stretch with the dog around the green and a stroll to the village pub. Perfect!
