DESCRIPTION: A wonderfully located 5 bed detached cottage requiring a large amount of refurbishment, but at the same time commanding fabulous far reaching rural views and also benefiting from being set within its own circa 17.7 acres of grazing land and being set at the end of its own long private drive.

The property also has a detached barn located to the top of one of its fields near the Newick Lane and has its own separate gated access from the main road.

The other large fields also would allow for a planning application on permitted development for a 4,500 square foot barn possibly.

The main house is NOT GRADE LISTED, so is easily open for alteration and improvement or even replacement, as currently, although a generous sized detached 5 bedroomed cottage, it requires a fair amount of refurbishment and repair.

This land and house could become a wonderful grand design project due to its amazing rural setting, that is located between Mayfield and Heathfield, set off Newick Lane.

LOCATION: Set off Newick Lane, which is a country lane that runs between Heathfield and Mayfield, this charming 5 bed detached character cottage currently needing considerable repair and refurbishment, is also set within its own land of circa 17.7 acres and situated at the end of its own private lane.

Heathfield town is within a healthy walk, and Mayfield village is within a short drive. Both Heathfield and Mayfield have exciting and varied facilities for shopping, eating and leisure.

Commuting for London is extremely easy from this property’s location, with both Stonegate mainline station and Etchingham mainline train station within approximately a 15 minute drive.
