Property description

Situated on Mayfield’s historic and picturesque High Street is this very charming Grade II Listed cottage. It is believed to have its origins in the 1500s and has been beautifully maintained over the years, retaining its many period features which include aged oak beams, drop latch panel doors, Georgian paned windows and exposed brickwork. The house has been extensively modernised internally, creating a beautiful and well-appointed home that feels contemporary whilst benefitting from a wealth of character. The house is arranged over three floors and is deceptively spacious, extending to over 2000 sq ft with good ceiling heights and large windows affording excellent natural light.

The attractive rear entrance opens to a hallway with cloakroom/w.c. And a modern kitchen with Shaker style cabinetry under a granite work surface, an Aga with brick surround and oak bressumer and a pretty window overlooking the courtyard garden. The large sitting/dining room has a wonderful feature brick fireplace with a log-burner, beautiful exposed beams and two bay windows overlooking the High Street and is very light and spacious. There is one staircase leading from the entrance hall up to a further reception room/family room with exposed brick walls, lovely oak beams and then an iron staircase leads from here to a mezzanine level which could be a study area or occasional bedroom. A second staircase leads up to the principal bedroom with fitted wardrobes and a very generous en-suite shower room. There is a further bedroom on the second floor, again with a good en-suite bathroom.

Outside
The house benefits from two allocated parking spaces within Royal Oak Mews, accessed via a shared driveway running alongside the home from the High Street. There is also a secluded courtyard garden with raised flowerbeds to the rear of the house providing a lovely spot for relaxing and entertaining.

Situation
Mayfield is in a conservation area and is highly sought-after thanks to its active local community and eclectic array of local shops, public houses and cafes. The ever-popular Royal Spa town of Tunbridge Wells is approx. 7.6 miles distant and has superb facilities from theatres, hotels and department stores, to historic sites and artisan shops. For commuters there are fast, direct train services to London from Wadhurst Station (5.9 miles), whilst the A21 trunk road can be accessed at Pembury or Lamberhurst connecting with the M25. The area is renowned for walking, sailing on the famous Bewl Water Reservoir and equestrian facilities, whilst golf can be found nearby at Dale Hill and Lamberhurst.
