What the Owner says:

Living at this property has given us the feeling of being immersed in the countryside without ever feeling isolated. The views are extraordinary and constantly changing, whether enjoyed over breakfast in the kitchen, from the garden on a summer evening, or through the seasons as the landscape evolves.
The grounds have been a huge part of our enjoyment of the property. There is a wonderful sense of freedom, with ample space for entertaining, gardening, family gatherings and simply enjoying the peace and privacy that comes with owning a few acres of beautiful countryside.
The outbuildings have provided tremendous versatility, adapting easily to our changing needs over the years. Whether for storage, hobbies, working from home or leisure pursuits, they have added a dimension to the property that is increasingly difficult to find.
The location is exceptional. Mayfield offers a wonderful village atmosphere with its attractive High Street, pubs, restaurants and renowned school, while Heathfield and Royal Tunbridge Wells provide a wider range of shopping, dining and leisure opportunities.
For those who enjoy the outdoors, the surrounding area is hard to beat. There are miles of footpaths, bridleways and country lanes to explore, together with vineyards, historic castles, country estates and Ashdown Forest. The Sussex coast is also close enough for an easy day by the sea.
What we have valued most is the balance this property provides.
