House for sale in Crittenden Road, Matfield, Tonbridge

Set discreetly towards the end of a private drive within the converted Badsell Park Farm estate, this is a beautifully refurbished former stable building that combines architectural character with contemporary design, all within a wonderfully rural setting just outside the sought‑after village of Matfield. The house has the added advantage of being offered for sale with no onward chain.

The current owners have undertaken a thoughtful and high‑quality refurbishment, most notably creating a striking vaulted extension that now forms an exceptional sitting room. This space, together with the adjoining kitchen/dining room, sit to the left of the welcoming entrance hall, creating a successful distinction between the sleeping and living quarters. Both areas enjoy oak beamed vaulted ceilings and large bi‑fold doors open directly onto the garden from both rooms, ensuring excellent natural light and a strong connection between inside and out.

The kitchen/dining room is a very fine space, fitted with contemporary deep green cabinetry and generous work surfaces, with a large central island. From here, the accommodation flows naturally through the property, which is predominantly arranged over a single storey, benefits from underfloor heating throughout and offers a high degree of flexibility in how the space is used.

There are three well‑proportioned double bedrooms, each supported by its own bathroom or shower room, making the layout particularly appealing for families, guests or those seeking future‑proofed living. Two are situated on the ground floor, and the largest is a perfect master suite, complete with its own walk in dressing room. A further mezzanine level provides additional adaptable space, ideal as a study area, occasional snug or reading space, and reinforces the versatility that runs throughout the house.

Outside, the property is set within grounds extending to just over an acre. Immediately to the rear of the house, a large terrace runs along the width of the building, providing a natural extension of the living space and an ideal spot for outdoor dining. Oak sleeper steps lead up to a lawned garden, which in turn opens into a more informal wild meadow area beyond, reinforcing the rural charm of the property. The plot is well defined and enjoys a peaceful outlook across its own land and boundary planting.

A substantial detached garage sits opposite the driveway and offers excellent additional accommodation, with a large storage area and a separate office space above, ideal for home working or ancillary use. Driveway parking is available for two vehicles, and there is an EV charger.

The Stables form part of a small and friendly rural community, offering a genuine countryside feel while remaining highly convenient. Matfield village, with its bakery, pubs and strong community spirit, lies around two miles away, while Paddock Wood (approximately 2.5 miles) provides mainline rail services to London. Tunbridge Wells is also within easy reach, offering a wider range of shopping, schools and amenities.

A distinctive and carefully considered home, this lovely home offers architectural interest, flexible accommodation and an enviable balance between rural living and accessibility.
