User 0: This is a quintessential Grade II listed country residence nestled in the heart of Mayfield, a picturesque Sussex village. Dating back to the 16th century with later additions, the house boasts a storied past, having been the home of Sir Austen Chamberlain in the 1920s. Its character-rich architecture features a timber-framed construction with red brick and tile-hung elevations to the front, and white weather-boarded sides. The property has been lovingly restored to blend historical charm with modern amenities, showcasing exposed beams, oak doors, fireplaces, and leaded light windows throughout. The main house welcomes visitors with a stone-floored entrance hall and an oak staircase leading to the first floor. The drawing room, with its parquet flooring and fireplace, opens onto a rear terrace, inviting the outdoors in. The dining room and family room are both double-aspect, with windows framing the natural beauty of the front and rear, while the kitchen/breakfast room features a central island and Aga cooker. Upstairs, the first floor offers four generous bedrooms, including a principal suite with an en suite and dressing room. The second floor features a lofty bedroom with a vaulted ceiling and crown post, along with a versatile space that could serve as a bedroom, TV room, or sitting/games room. The detached single roundel oast house provides additional accommodation with a sitting room, kitchen, and bedroom with a decked terrace offering panoramic views over the gardens and grounds. The 2.55-acre estate includes a gated driveway leading to a double garage, a flat lawn, rose garden, wildflower borders, a meadow, and a natural pond, all enclosed by mature trees and shrubs. Mayfield village is just 2.6 miles away, offering essential amenities, while Tunbridge Wells, with its comprehensive facilities and mainline train station, is approximately 11 miles north. The property is well-positioned for various schools in both the state and private sectors, and leisure activities abound in the area, including golf, sailing, and walking trails. This historic home offers a blend of period elegance and contemporary living, set within the serene beauty of the Sussex countryside
