This charming cottage is on the edge of Matfield, a village with two pubs and a great setting-off point for countryside walks. This cosy abode is ideal for those wanting to explore the Kent and Sussex countryside, as well as the local wine farms. Hastings and the coast are only a forty-five-minute drive, too.

We love the beautiful enclosed garden and patio, where you can relax and enjoy the peace and quiet.
