For Sale6 Bedroom House in Picadilly Lane, Mayfield, East Sussex Tn20 6rh£1,400,000

It was always the wonderful countryside location and the quiet and peaceful environment that were the important factors when choosing this property although it was also purchased to provide somewhere for two families to live together but independently. So it would be ideal for a family with an adult child wanting a little independence or, as the annex has a double bedroom and bathroom on the ground floor, this would make a great home for elderly relatives. The lapsed planning application was to create a two storey extension at the rear of the property so, if re-instated, could provide even more flexible accommodation and even better views across the May Valley.  It is not far from the medieval village of Mayfield with its thriving high street where various annual events also take place such as the annual Bonfire Society parade, Spring fair, Passion enactment. You will also fine a plethora of attractive and varied medieval and other period properties, with the high street buttressed by the grandeur of the Archbishops Palace first built in 1250 on permission from Pope Alexander, now the acclaimed Mayfield Convent School. There are also a number of pubs and restaurants, a good primary school and the historic 13th century church, St Dunstans, Mayfield’s very own saint. The village also includes a variety of sports and social clubs together with a range of delightful shops including a superb deli, baker, butcher, florist, coffee shop, local convenience store and post office. Mayfield is surrounded by vineyards with many producing world-class English wines and spirits, some of which are available in the outstanding wine shop in the high street. While you can get most essentials and many non-essential items in the village there is also nearby Heathfield and Crowborough with their supermarkets while Tunbridge Wells provides more in depth retail therapy and entertainment.  There are train stations at Wadhurst and Tunbridge Wells where trains can whisk you to London in under an hour and a variety of excellent education facilities available.
