Set within roughly four acres on the rural outskirts of Mayfield, May Farm is a substantial 1930s detached house offering flexible six-bedroom accommodation with an extensive annex. The property sits in mature, private grounds with far-reaching countryside views across the High Weald AONB — ideal for families seeking space, privacy and outdoor life. A long driveway, double garage and plentiful parking add practical convenience for multiple vehicles.
Internally the layout supports multi-generational living: a large main house with triple-aspect living room, dining room, study and a generous kitchen/breakfast room, plus a vast annex with its own living space, kitchen, cloakroom and two first-floor bedrooms. Several rooms feature French doors to the garden and the annex could be used independently or re-incorporated into the main home. There is lapsed planning for a two-storey extension that could probably be reinstated or amended to create significantly more accommodation.
The plot is a major asset — lawns, a patio, large pond, copse and an adjacent two-acre field with separate access currently grazed by a neighbouring farmer. The peaceful hamlet setting, very low crime level and proximity to Mayfield village amenities (primary school, pubs, shops) make this an attractive family location, with Tunbridge Wells and nearby towns providing wider services and rail links to London.
Buyers should note the property will benefit from modernisation: the solid brick walls are assumed uninsulated, some external ivy and planting need management, the balcony requires repair or replacement and the planning permission noted has lapsed. Heating is via an air-source heat pump with radiators and electricity; council tax is described as quite expensive. Sold freehold and chain free, the house suits purchasers wanting renovation potential and substantial outdoor space rather than a turnkey finish.
