There is a swimming pool, plus a large garage/workshop and further machinery store. There is also planning permission to add a large outbuilding, plus an oak framed garage with gym and annex accommodation. EPC Rating: E

Newlands Farm is an exceptional property, not overlooked by anything, with fields to three sides of the gardens, and outstanding rural views over protected countryside.

The accommodation in the main house includes period features, such as fireplaces, oak flooring and some exposed timbers, leaded light Crittall windows and panelled doors, yet it has been extensively modernised by the current owners, to include a new roof recently, plus making the kitchen open plan to form a fabulous family and entertaining space, whilst taking in the views across the garden to the views beyond.

The entrance hall is at the front of the house, beneath an oak framed porch, with a dog-leg staircase to the first floor, and a large window to side and under stairs cupboard.

The family room/study is also at the front, with a fireplace and floor to ceiling bookshelves with LED lighting, and a corner, square bay window overlooking the side garden.

The sitting room is a lovely sized room, with a further working fireplace, windows to side and a further square bay window taking in the views. The kitchen/dining room is the true hub-of-the-home and runs across the rear of the house with the most sensational outlook, plus French doors to the side garden and a patio area designed to take in the views, too.

The kitchen comprises a range of hand-built cupboards and drawers with a large, central island with a breakfast bar, and granite worktops throughout. Integrated appliances include a large electric Aga, separate cooker, sink with etched drainer and a dishwasher, plus space for a professional style fridge/freezer/wine cooler. There is also a larder unit, and a further set of doors of the dining area that leads to the landscaped cottage-style garden and alfresco dining area, plus a waist level, modern fireplace.

Off the kitchen, with a couple of steps down, is the rear lobby, utility/pool plant room and cloakroom area, with doors to the rear garden.

The first floor provides an open landing, and access to all five bedrooms. The main bedroom is accessed via the large en-suite bathroom, and forms a lovely, large room with wonderful views, and access to a raised balcony to really add to the desirability. The en-suite provides a walk in shower unit, free-standing bath, basin and WC, plus built in storage cupboards.

There are three bedrooms along the side of the house, all forming double rooms, and two enjoying feature fireplaces. The fifth bedroom is at the front of the house, also a double, with an outlook across the garden.

The family bathroom provides a bath, with shower above, basin and window to side, part tiled walls and floor, plus an adjacent cloakroom, providing a WC and basin.

Outside the gardens are sensational. There are charming, formal, landscaped gardens to one side of the house, with flower beds, gravel paths, paved seating areas all enjoying the views and direct access to the pool area. The swimming pool has wonderful views, and is set well within the gardens, surrounded by lawns. These lawns stretch all across the rear of the house, with an area of orchard on the far side of the house.

At the front of the house, a gravel, rhododendron lined driveway leads from the lane gate to the house, with access to the detached garage and workshop, plus the further machine store. This area is well-screened from the house by mature trees and shrubs. In total the plot is just over two acres, yet feels large due to the open space and fields that surround the house.

Planning Permission:

We are aware that there is full planning permission under ref: WD/2023/0689/F. This permission includes the addition of a new garage and office/gym/annex accommodation by the front corner of the house, plus a new agricultural barn, and a side extension to the house, replacing the utility/rear lobby area to form a new plant room, a shower room and utility room.

Location:

Newlands Farm is located off a popular and exclusive country lane between the villages of Mayfield and Mark Cross, with easy access to footpaths for walks into the countryside and across fields to The Lazy Fox pub in Mark Cross
