Summary - Windmill Cottage, Argos Hill, MAYFIELD TN20 6NR
5 bed 3 bath Detached
Spacious Tudor‑style family home with huge garden, triple garage and stunning countryside views.
Five double bedrooms including very large principal suite with dressing room and en‑suite
Windmill Cottage is a substantial, well‑presented family home set in very large, mature gardens on Argos Hill. The house blends 19th‑century character (feature fireplaces, wood flooring and timber framing) with recent upgrades — nearly all windows replaced in the last 5–10 years, a boiler installed about two years ago and LED lighting throughout. The layout is flexible: a huge principal bedroom with dressing room and en‑suite, four further double bedrooms and a second‑floor landing currently used as a gym that could form a self‑contained suite.
Day‑to‑day living centres on generous reception space including a formal sitting room with open fireplace and a striking open‑plan dining/family area that flows to a vaulted garden room and sheltered south‑west patio. The kitchen/breakfast and separate utility are modern and practical. Outside there is a tree‑lined driveway, detached triple garage with electric doors and charging point, large level lawns, paved seating areas and elevated spots that enjoy panoramic countryside views within the AONB.
Practical points to note: the property is freehold, on mains gas with fast/ultrafast broadband available and very low flood risk. The house sits in a quiet hamlet roughly 1.5 miles from Mayfield village facilities and around 9 miles from Royal Tunbridge Wells; mainline stations (Wadhurst, Crowborough) provide commuter links to London. Council Tax is in Band G and described as quite expensive. The title carries easements — buyers should seek legal advice. Drainage is private but compliant.
This is a good choice for a growing family seeking countryside privacy, strong indoor/outdoor flow and scope for creative use of the second floor. It will particularly suit buyers who value period character combined with modern services, and who are comfortable with the costs associated with a large, older home in an AONB (tax band, maintenance and grounds upkeep).
