Location
Mayfield is a beautiful and popular East Sussex hilltop village, steeped in history and in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
Warren House enjoys a tucked away position on the southernmost side of The Warren, a network of private roads located off East Street, about 0.7 miles from the heart of the village, with the well-known Middle House, a Tudor beamed inn and a wide choice of interesting local shops providing everyday needs, a church, two schools and Mayfield Lawn Tennis Club.
The property has lovely views of the surrounding countryside across the rear garden and north towards the village.
Tunbridge Wells is the nearest main town, lying about 10 miles to the north. Eastbourne, on the south coast, is about 23 miles and the City of London about 54 miles.
Gatwick airport lies about 34 miles to the west and the Channel Tunnel terminus about 57 miles to the east.
State and private schools: Mayfield Primary School and Mayfield School for Girls in the village. Preparatory schools include Skippers Hill in nearby Five Ashes, Holmewood House in Langton Green, Saint Ronans and Marlborough House in Hawkhurst. Wadhurst, Crowborough and Heathfield all have community colleges and independent senior schools in the area include Mayfield School for girls, Tonbridge for boys and Bedes (Upper Dicker), Sevenoaks and Eastbourne College as co-ed options.
Mainline rail: Crowborough (at Jarvis Brook about 5.4miles) offers services to London Victoria, or Wadhurst (about 5.6 miles) and Tunbridge Wells (about 9.6 miles) serving London Bridge, Waterloo East, Charing Cross and Cannon Street.
Description
An exceptional position and a delightful late 1920s family house with wonderful mature gardens and grounds, well presented and thoughtfully up-dated for modern day living, without spoiling the authentic feel.
Features include an oak turn staircase with galleried landing and the original interior doors, whilst downstairs the glazed doors allow the flow of natural light and have been slightly altered by our clients after seeing the work of Austrian architect, Adolf Loos, a pioneer of modernism. There is an original fireplace in the breakfast room.
The study has a recessed cupboard (a former larder with the original meat safe) and our clients have added a lovely glazed extension here, creating a garden room.
The modern dual aspect kitchen is semi open plan to the breakfast room with oak flooring and the sitting room has two distinct areas and an open fireplace. There is access out to the rear garden onto a small south-west facing veranda, which is a lovely sun trap, with an pull-out canopy providing shade. This leads onto a Yorkstone and brick terrace spanning the rear of the house, with extensively planted beds bordering the lawn and a providing a wonderful space for outside dining.
The bedrooms all enjoy a pleasant garden outlook, with the ones to the rear having lovely views. One of the smaller bedrooms has a charming and unexpected walk-in cupboard with a small window.
The rear garden is secluded and exceptional in structure and planting with established shrub and herbaceous borders and an outlook up to Mayfield village to the north-west. It gently slopes away from the house, initially with a formal lawn which is hedged and leads through to a wild flower meadow, which in turn descends to an area of woodland with swathes of bluebells and culminating with the stream at the bottom. Everywhere, it’s a delightful changing picture throughout the year making for a truly lovely setting.
Tucked away to one side is a terraced vegetable garden, together with outbuildings, including a mower shed/workshop, two further sheds, a wood store and a tool shed. To the front, the garden is hedged and planted providing good seclusion and there is a single garage off the driveway.
Square Footage: 2320 sq ft
Acreage: 1.97 Acres
