2 bedroom detached house

Heartsease enjoys a fabulous, tucked away yet central position, within attractive gardens and backing on to open fields. There is also considerable scope to extend/remodel, or even redevelop, subject to the necessary planning consents.

This attractive cottage-style property, originating from around 1910, comprises a large open plan living space from which you can enjoy the view, with a fitted kitchen with space for a table by the window enjoying the views, and a separate utility room beyond. By the garden doors there is space for a desk area, whilst the hallway provides access to two ground floor bedrooms and a modernised family bathroom, as well as a staircase to a first floor room, forming a useful hobbies room/office/occasional bedroom.

The gardens to the front have a block paved path and steps to the front door, whilst the garden is hedge and fence enclosed, with a further paved area and area of lawn.

The rear garden is south facing and enjoys a large paved terrace immediately behind the house, ideal for entertaining, or just sitting and enjoying the views. Steps lead down to the lawn, which in turn backs on to open fields and offers views across the Rother Valley. The rear garden is again hedge and fence enclosed, and predominantly laid to lawn, interspersed with shrubs. There is also an allocated off road parking space at the top of the lane.

It is considered that house offers great potential for further enlargement/modernisation/redevelopment (subject to planning), as the precedent has already been set by recent development nearby. The location, whilst central, is remarkably peaceful and whilst the car parking space is nearby, the last hundred yards or so is pedestrian access.

Heartsease is within close proximity to Mayfield High Street, in a very convenient, yet tucked away location enjoying some superb views across fields and the Rother Valley beyond.

The High Street can provide for most day to day needs, with facilities including a small supermarket with post office, butcher, baker, pharmacy, florist, greengrocers and deli as well as GP surgery, dentist and hairdressers. There are also a couple of cafes and Period Inns, including the renowned Middle House Hotel.

There are pretty churches of various denominations, a flourishing primary school and the well-regarded Mayfield School secondary school.

For more comprehensive facilities Tunbridge Wells is 9 miles to the north. Railway stations can be found at Wadhurst (5 miles), Crowborough (6 miles), and Tunbridge Wells. These provide a fast and regular service to London Charing Cross, London Bridge and Canon Street. There is a regular bus service to Tunbridge Wells and Eastbourne. The area provides an excellent selection of both state and private schools.

Nearby leisure facilities include tennis, bowls, numerous golf clubs, sailing on Bewl Water and at the coast. The area is criss-crossed with many beautiful walks through the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
