3 bed semi-detached house to rent

Hatmill Lane, Brenchley TN12

Positioned along a peaceful country lane in the highly desirable village of Brenchley, this substantial three-bedroom semi-detached home offers an ideal combination of space, charm, and countryside living. Set within generous mature gardens and spanning approximately 1,612 sq ft, the property provides a rare opportunity to rent a character-filled home in one of Kent’s most picturesque rural settings.

From the moment you approach the property, the setting feels special – a private pathway leads through the front garden, framed by trees and established planting, to the main entrance. Internally, the layout is generous and well-suited to families or professional tenants who value room to grow and entertain. The ground floor comprises two impressive reception rooms, both showcasing exposed timber beams and charming period features. The main living room benefits from a feature fireplace and French doors opening into a large conservatory, flooding the space with natural light and providing a tranquil garden outlook year-round. A separate dining room with a wood-burning stove offers an inviting setting for family meals and hosting.

The kitchen enjoys a warm, rustic feel with its wooden cabinetry, tiled floors, and practical layout, while a large porch/utility room provides additional functional space for laundry, storage, or muddy boots after country walks. A ground floor WC adds further convenience.

Upstairs, three well-proportioned bedrooms offer comfortable accommodation, each with built-in wardrobes or eaves storage. The principal bedroom benefits from a particularly generous footprint and charming alcove area ideal for a dressing space or reading nook. The family bathroom is tiled with a traditional white suite and enjoys garden views through the frosted windows.

Outside, the rear garden is a true highlight - mature, leafy, and secluded, offering a private haven for relaxation, gardening, or al fresco dining. There is ample space for children to play or for keen gardeners to make their mark, with nature and wildlife quite literally on your doorstep.

This is a home that offers a genuine lifestyle - space, character, privacy, and a connection to nature, all within a short drive of Paddock Wood or Tonbridge, where you’ll find rail links to London and a range of further amenities. Whether you’re moving from the city or seeking a more peaceful pace of life, this rare rental opportunity blends traditional rural charm with day-to-day practicality.
