Features of note include a large, open plan living room and kitchen/diner, with wood burning stove and Aga, having French doors outside to two terraces, one with a brick block finish and the other with decking, with both accessing the generous lawn gardens. Three bedrooms, one with en-suite shower rooms, the other two served by a family bathroom. Utility/boot room. Extensive natural oak beams and joinery, and a combination of oak and tiled flooring with double car port.

Location
Luckhurst Place is found on the semi-rural fringes of the historic and pretty hilltop village of Mayfield, in the heart of East Sussex and the High Weald National Landscape. This thriving village, just 1 mile, enjoys a good selection of amenities, with convenience store, Post Office, chemist, wine store, interiors shop, florist, dentist, doctors’ surgery, hairdresser, delicatessen, bakery, butcher, pubs, cafés and boutiques, The Middle House, gastro pub and cosy hotel and Rose and Crown public house.
Mayfield is also well placed for the nearby villages of both Mark Cross and Wadhurst and the smaller towns of Crowborough (approximately 7.5 miles) and Heathfield (approximately 4.8 miles) have a choice of amenities, sports facilities, national retailers, independent stores and supermarkets, including Waitrose, Sainsburys and The Cooperative in both towns.
Royal Tunbridge Wells just 9.7 miles is a historic spa town located about thirty miles south of London, surrounded by countryside and offering a popular base for commuters. The town offers excellent cultural, leisure and shopping attractions including cafés, restaurants and two theatres. The High Street offers many restaurants including The Ivy and The Warren and so many choices for delicious cakes, fresh bread and coffee, Juliet's, Fine Grind, Gail's and the Italian delicatessen Arte Bianca with fresh fish and seafood at Sankey's fishmongers and so much more with numerous shops and independent boutiques.
The surrounding countryside boasts several places of historic interest and attractive walks, including the famous Ashdown Forest, and sailing, walking and fishing at Bewl Water. Luckhurst Place borders the historic, and protected from development, Wadhurst Park, falling within the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The award winning Bedgebury National Pinetum and Forest is also nearby and is now recognised as the most complete collection of conifers on one site anywhere in the world and offers further woodland walks, cycling, riding, and outdoor music concerts.
State and private schools: Mayfield has its own well-regarded Primary & Nursery School as well as the independent Mayfield School for girls at secondary level. Preparatory schools in the area include Skippers Hill in Five Ashes, Bricklehurst Manor in Stonegate and Vinehall in Robertsbridge. Wadhurst, Crowborough and Heathfield have community colleges. There are independent secondary schools in Tonbridge, Sevenoaks and Eastbourne and grammar schools in Tunbridge Wells and Tonbridge.
Mainline rail: Wadhurst (5.8 miles) and Tunbridge Wells (9.8 miles), services to London Charing Cross (via London Bridge and Waterloo East) and Cannon Street. Crowborough (Jarvis Brook), (6.2 miles), services to London Bridge.
