A stunning Oast house with views in a fine country position between Wadhurst and Mayfield.
This unlisted character Oast House is privately set in a small and exclusive former farmstead in a tucked away semi-rural setting on the edge of Mayfield. The property offers superb open-plan accommodation arranged over two floors, with the added attraction of an equally stylish single storey office/studio.
The presentation throughout is of a high standard and the setting is exceptional, with fine views over and beyond the garden. Features include flowing ground floor accommodation, with limestone flooring to the entrance and reception halls, as well as the garden room and the Mark Wilkinson kitchen/family/dining room, which incorporates the roundel and is planned and beautifully-fitted with hand-made painted timber cabinets, granite work surfaces and a central Aga as the focal point. There is much use of oak joinery and an abundance of original beams, including the high vaulted ceilings to three of the bedrooms. The sitting room features a substantial brick fireplace, fitted with a wood burning stove and has French doors opening out to the rear garden terrace, there is an open fireplace in the reception hall.
Upstairs, there are four bedrooms with a contemporary bathroom and an en suite shower room. The studio provides equally attractive accommodation, reached via pathways through the landscaped mature garden, which neatly screens-off the car parking, garage/stable block and the swimming pool which is set into the hillside and finished with a generously proportioned decked surround. The garden has mature trees, including a magnificent willow, hedging, lawn and planted beds with about 2.42 acres.

For me, a very stylish presentation, full of character and in a marvellous semi-rural setting away from busy roads, yet so accessible for Tunbridge Wells.
