Timber bones are a recurring motif in this Grade II–listed farmhouse from the 16th century, located on a quiet lane in Kent. Inglenook fireplaces and exposed beams reveal layers of life, shaped over centuries, and later additions extend the plan. Still the house retains the character of its original structure, opening with a vaulted entrance hall that sets the scale for the rooms beyond.

The 5,050sqft layout moves through a series of lived-in spaces, each shaped by material craft. A bespoke kitchen anchors the ground floor with handcrafted cabinetry, quartz worktops and stone flooring, while a stable door links directly to the garden. Adjacent sits a snug with a wood-burning stove, and a larger sitting room framed by an original stone inglenook — a substantial hearth fitted with a modern burner. The dining room continues the emphasis on masonry and proportion.
Five bedrooms occupy the upper floors. Three sit on the first level, each with original fireplaces. Within the eaves are two further bedrooms and a generous playroom. Outside, 3.5 acres of gardens, a neighbouring field and an oak-framed garage with a studio extend the home’s setting. Listed for £1.75m with Maison Partnership, it sits right around the corner from the village of Matfield.
