Five Wents, Matfield, TN12

Believed to date from the 18th Century with later additions, this delightful house has an abundance of period features including a catslide roof, exposed beams and a marvellous inglenook fireplace and being arranged across three floors, can be adapted to suit changing family needs. Set in a semi-rural position in the village of Matfield, there is access to both countryside walks and the village amenites itself.

The entrance hall leads to the reception spaces which are generous and flexible. The charming sitting room features a large inglenook fireplace with log burner and a bay window flooding the room with natural light. This space flows into the formal dining room overlooking the garden. A further reception room currently serves as a reading room and study but could equally be used as a playroom, TV room or home office.

The delightful country-style kitchen overlooks the rear garden and features attractive quarry-tile flooring, granite worktops, painted shaker style cabinetry, an Aga, Belfast sink and integrated appliances. A stable door opens onto the terrace, while an adjoining utility room provides additional storage and space for appliances.

The principal bedroom offers generous proportions, ample storage and an en-suite bathroom with a further guest bedroom suite, while two further bedrooms on the first floor are served by a well-appointed shower room.

The second floor provides two further dual-aspect rooms that can function as additional bedrooms, home offices, hobby rooms or dressing accommodation. The flexibility of the layout makes the property particularly appealing for growing families, multigenerational living or those seeking dedicated work-from-home spaces.

Throughout the house, period details and character features combine with practical modern living, creating a warm and welcoming home full of charm.
