Tewcot is a charming Grade II listed end-of-terrace cottage occupying a central Mayfield position with sensational Rother Valley views and a beautifully landscaped, south-facing garden. The house presents two double bedrooms (one with upgraded en-suite), a ground-floor bathroom, and an open-plan kitchen/dining room that looks over the rear garden — ideal for relaxed, low-maintenance village living.
Characterful features include exposed beams, a wood-burning stove in the sitting room and original details that give the cottage its period appeal. Practical amenities are in place: mains gas central heating, utility/storeroom space, secondary glazing and superfast broadband, making the property comfortable for modern life while retaining character.
There are some important constraints to note. The house is Grade II listed and lies inside an AONB and conservation area, which will restrict alterations and can make works more complex and costly. The party wall and rights of access across the rear garden remain in place for neighbouring properties; there is also a flying freehold at second-floor level. The external walls are solid brick with no assumed insulation, so energy improvements will need specialist listed-building advice.
For buyers seeking village life with excellent local amenities, Mayfield provides shops, schools and inns within a short walk, while Tunbridge Wells and nearby rail links offer straightforward rail and road connections to London. Lapsed planning permission exists to extend to the side (would add a larger kitchen and another bedroom) — potentially useful, but any revival will need listed-building and planning consents.
