The village has a fine selection of period Kent-peg tile and white weather-boarded properties that lead down the hill to the duck pond. There are a wide variety of friendly shops with good old-fashioned service including: a busy newsagent/ general store with a Post Office, a pharmacy, a bakery with a café, an antique shop, a European designer boutique and two hairdressers. The Vintage Room and café have recently opened as have the book shop and the tea and coffee emporium. There are four welcoming country pubs in Goudhurst with their own separate restaurants. In the centre of the village, Burgess Stores is open seven days a week from early till late. One can purchase an excellent selection of fresh local produce, artisan bread. There is a large off licence too. The village has a doctor's surgery, a veterinary surgery and a village hall. Goudhurst also has two petrol stations, both offering a much appreciated personal vehicle filling service plus MOT and general service/paint shop facilities, an old Rolls Royce and vintage cars showroom and our welcoming award winning estate agents office.
