The space
The WellHouse, Matfield

Tucked away in the heart of Matfield, one of Kent’s most picturesque villages, The WellHouse is a peaceful and stylish retreat for two, set within the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

This quintessential English village, with its vast green, cricket pitch, duck pond and Georgian houses, butchers, The Star Pub and The Poet Restaurant feels wonderfully timeless, yet is just six miles from Royal Tunbridge Wells and under an hour by train to London.

The WellHouse is a beautifully designed annexe to a Grade II listed family home, with its own private entrance and secluded courtyard. Light-filled and airy, the weather-boarded building features high vaulted ceilings, exposed beams with charming round windows and views overlook the gardens.

Inside, you’ll find a thoughtfully fitted kitchen, a comfortable living space with Smart TV, a breakfast bar for relaxed dining or working, and a restful double bedroom beneath the eaves. A stylish shower room with rainfall shower and a separate WC complete the space.

Outside, the private courtyard is perfect for slow mornings with coffee, alfresco meals at the bistro table, or unwinding on loungers in the summer months. It’s also a practical base for cyclists, with secure bike racks and covered storage, and easy access to some of Kent’s best road and off-road routes, including Bewl Water and Bedgebury Pinetum.

Step out on foot to explore countryside walks through orchards, farmland and woodland, or wander across the village green to enjoy a long lunch or supper at one of Matfield’s welcoming pubs (The Star or The Poet).

Spend your days walking, cycling, sightseeing at nearby National Trust properties such as Scotney Castle, Sissinghurst Castle and Knole Park, enjoy a coffee, lunch or shopping at the Pantiles in Tunbridge Wells or simply slow down and enjoy village life.

Whether you’re planning a romantic getaway, an active walking or cycling break, or a peaceful escape from the city, The WellHouse offers a calm, characterful base where comfort, countryside and understated luxury come together.
