Set on approximately 3.9 acres of mainly open grassland with pockets of woodland, South Lodge is a deceptively spacious five-bedroom detached home in the small hamlet of Maynards Green. The house combines character features and high-quality finishes — oak floors, bespoke solid-wood kitchen with quartz worktops and large glazed doors framing far-reaching countryside views — making it well suited to a family seeking space, privacy and rural outlooks.
Accommodation is arranged over two storeys and includes a large open-plan kitchen/diner with central island, a separate sitting room, two ground-floor bedrooms, three first-floor bedrooms, two bathrooms and two cloakrooms. Practical benefits include an extensive shingle driveway with generous parking and turning, a detached double garage with adjacent wood store, useful utility and boot rooms, plus a fruit cage/chicken run and paved patio beside the house.
This property will particularly appeal to buyers wanting land and seclusion within easy reach of Heathfield and commuting rail links. Note the house is offered with no onward chain. Important practical points: the home has an Energy Efficiency Rating of D and sits in Council Tax Band F (described as expensive); there is a legal right of way across a neighbour’s driveway which affects access arrangements.
Overall this is a substantial country family home with strong outdoor amenity and good local services — ideal for buyers who value plot size, countryside views and versatile accommodation, while accepting the ongoing running costs and the access easement.
