- GEDGES FARM, THE COACH HOUSE, CRITTENDEN ROAD, MATFIELD, TONBRIDGE, KENT, 1675000, 22/07/2022
A spacious, character coach house conversion, tucked away in this delightful farmstead setting, on the outskirts of the village, with fine distant views
Description
This well presented detached family house enjoys characterful accommodation, with particularly generously proportioned ground floor accommodation benefitting from good space and light.
Two of the reception rooms have good high ceilings and the kitchen/breakfast room features a tall gothic-style window mirroring the style of the ground floor internal doors and the impressive double doors to the main entrance.
The principal reception rooms have wood burning stoves and all the rooms have a very pleasant outlook, either to the rear garden and beyond over farmland, or out to the delightful front courtyard garden.
The modern, country-style kitchen opens through to the garden room, with access out onto the rear terrace and incorporates a five-oven electric Aga, central island unit with dishwasher and bin store and concealed Liebherr, larder-style fridge and freezer.
The spacious principal bedroom has a stylish, ’hotel like’ en suite, with a w.c. and a separate shower concealed behind a wall, up against the free standing bath.
The rear garden has a terrace to the house and then becomes lawn, leading onto further areas of grass meadow, bordered by mature hedging and trees. A swimming pool with pool house and terraced surround is tucked away to one side, with a good size garden shed on the other.
The farmstead setting has a shared driveway serving five properties and the back entrance into Gedges Farm, which is a grand Regency residence.
Location
The Coach House is situated in a semi-rural position, along a farm drive off a country lane. The area is known as the “Garden of England” and the property lies about a mile from the popular village of Matfield, with its picturesque village green, shop and various public houses. There is a footpath accessible from the property providing links to countryside walks on a wide network of public rights of way.
