Description

Newlands Farm is a spacious, part tile-hung detached residence offering over 2,800 sq ft of versatile living space split across two levels. This home presents a blend of contemporary comfort and historical charm, featuring quality fixtures alongside traditional elements such as leaded windows, soaring ceilings, and original fireplaces. The layout includes a welcoming gable-end reception hall with characteristic angled glazing and exposed wooden flooring. The expansive drawing room and adjacent study both benefit from open fireplaces, fitted storage solutions, and charming corner bays. The extensive kitchen/dining area boasts bespoke cabinetry, an island with a breakfast bar, and high-quality appliances like a double Belfast sink and an Aga. French doors open directly to the terrace from both areas, enhancing the flow for entertaining. A rear hall connects to practical utility space and cloakroom facilities. Upstairs, the generous landing leads to a principal bedroom with French doors opening to a private balcony and a modern en suite accessible via Jack and Jill doors. Four additional bedrooms are served by another family bathroom, providing ample accommodation. Notably, this property has full planning permission (ref: WD/2023/0689/F) for significant enhancements including the addition of a garage and office/gym/annexe as well as an agricultural barn—ideal for those seeking expansion or investment opportunities. Set back from the road along a tree-lined gravel driveway, the property features private parking alongside an outbuilding containing dual garages and an extra carport. The garden is mostly laid to lawn with well-maintained flower beds and mature trees—including an inviting swimming pool area perfect for summer gatherings. Located within the scenic High Weald National Landscape near Mayfield village with its essential amenities (including shops, schools, and recreational facilities), this property benefits from strong transport links connecting it to key destinations such as Crowborough station and major roads leading towards London.
