User 0: This property is a splendid Grade II listed country residence, steeped in history as the former home of Sir Austen Chamberlain in the 1920s. It dates back to the 16th century, with later additions, and showcases a blend of Tudor architecture and more recent refurbishments that have preserved its historical charm while offering modern comforts. The house features a timber-framed construction with a charming red brick and tile-hung front facade, and a white weather-boarded rear elevation. Inside, the property boasts an array of characterful features, including exposed beams and timbers, oak doors, fireplaces, and leaded light windows, which all contribute to its warm and inviting atmosphere. The main house is accessed through a stone-floored entrance hall, leading to a triple aspect drawing room with parquet flooring and a fireplace that opens onto a rear terrace and garden. The dining room and family room are both double aspect, with the dining room featuring an inglenook fireplace, while the kitchen/breakfast room is equipped with a central island and a traditional Aga cooker. The first floor accommodates four generous double bedrooms, with the principal bedroom enjoying an en suite bathroom and a spacious dressing room. The second floor presents a highlight with a bedroom featuring a vaulted ceiling and a crown post, along with another sizable bedroom/TV room with a red brick chimney breast and vaulted ceiling. Complementing the main house is a detached single roundel oast house, offering approximately 488 square feet of additional living space with a sitting room, kitchen, and bedroom with a decked sun terrace. The property is set within about 2.55 acres of beautifully landscaped gardens, featuring mature trees, shrubs, and a flat lawned area, as well as a swimming pool, rose garden, and natural pond. Across the lane, an unconverted Grade II listed barn/stable awaits transformation into a single-story two-bedroom dwelling, with planning permission already secured. This additional property sits on a plot of around 1.4 acres within the picturesque Sussex countryside. The property is conveniently located on the outskirts of Mayfield, a historic village with local amenities and a range of schools, including Mayfield
