5 Bed Detached House, Single Let, Mayfield, TN20 6NH £2,350,000

The Oast provides for a changing room and shower room/wc on the ground floor, together with a large outside covered seating/entertaining area, complete with heaters and lighting. Upstairs, steps lead up to a generous balcony with views and this gives access to a studio room, providing potential for overflow accommodation, or perhaps, as is particularly relevant these days, a work from home office.

The private driveway off the lane leads into a generous parking area, near to the main entrance to the house. There are further outbuildings, gardens and land directly across the narrow country lane, with a gated access, providing:

1. Garaging, storage, greenhouse and sheds. A recent Pre-App meeting with Wealden District Council's Planning Department has indicated the possible potential here for a small residential, independent dwelling. A copy of the follow-up letter is available on request from our office.
2. Wonderful, elaborately planted, informal gardens of about 3.2 acres.
3. Paddock of about 3.1 acres
4. A vegetable garden and an area of woodland.
5. Total land here of about 6.3 acres.
