AP Estate Agents are delighted to present Maple House, one of only two individually built homes in this desirable non‑estate position within the sought‑after village of Mark Cross. Thoughtfully designed for modern family living, the property offers an excellent balance of generous living space and practical everyday convenience. The ground floor features a superbly proportioned lounge with direct access to the garden, a separate dining room, and a dedicated study—an essential work‑from‑home space for many. The well‑appointed kitchen provides ample room for a family table and enjoys views over the garden, complemented by a separate utility room. Across the upper two floors are five bedrooms and four bathrooms, including a luxurious principal suite complete with its own dressing room and en‑suite. Outside, the property benefits from a large driveway providing parking for multiple vehicles, a two‑bay car barn, and gardens that enjoy lovely rural views beyond. Viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the quality, setting and space Maple House has to offer.
INSIDE THE PROPERTY
As you step into the property, you are welcomed by a generous reception hallway, with stairs rising to the first floor and doors leading to all principal ground‑floor rooms. The lounge is an impressive size, centred around a traditional exposed brick fireplace that could accommodate a log burner if desired. Double doors open directly onto the rear garden and the south‑facing patio, creating a wonderful connection between indoor and outdoor living. A calm, inviting atmosphere flows throughout the ground floor, enhanced by subtle lighting and beautifully machined oak flooring that runs seamlessly from room to room. In addition to the dining room—which could equally serve as a sixth ground‑floor bedroom—there is a study positioned at the rear of the property, complete with ample power points and the main phoneline connection. The kitchen has been thoughtfully designed to maximise both storage and functionality. Cream shaker‑style units are topped with luxurious granite worktops, complemented by quality AEG appliances including a double oven, dishwasher, and four‑ring induction hob with extractor. Double doors open from the kitchen onto the patio, while a durable hard‑tiled floor ensures practicality for busy family life. Adjacent to the kitchen, the utility room provides a full run of units with space and plumbing for a washing machine and dryer beneath the worktops. This room also houses the boiler, includes a stainless‑steel sink, and offers a convenient side door to the exterior. Completing the ground floor is a well‑placed WC.
UPSTAIRS
The principal bedroom suite is a wonderfully generous room enjoying far‑reaching views over the countryside to the rear. A doorway leads through to a dedicated dressing room, offering excellent potential for a bespoke fitted wardrobe arrangement. Beyond this lies the stylish en‑suite, featuring twin ‘his and hers’ washbasins, a fully enclosed shower with drencher and handheld fittings, a low‑level WC, full tiling, and a heated chrome towel rail. Bedroom 2 also enjoys the same beautiful rear outlook and benefits from its own en‑suite, fitted with an L‑shaped bath with screen and shower above, WC, wall‑mounted washbasin with storage, and a heated towel rail. Bedroom 3 is another comfortable double room, positioned at the front of the property. This floor also includes a useful airing cupboard housing the substantial 245‑litre pressurised Megaflo system, along with a well‑appointed family bathroom comprising a bath with shower over, WC and washbasin.
Second Floor - The top floor features a bright galleried landing leading to Bedrooms 4 and 5, both generous doubles with Velux windows framing exceptional, uninterrupted views across the countryside at the rear. Serving these rooms is a further bathroom, fitted with a large walk‑in shower cubicle, wall‑mounted washbasin with storage, WC and a heated chrome towel rail.
OUTSIDE
The property forms one of two individually built detached homes, with the initial section of the driveway shared as it passes Maple House. Beyond this, the entrance opens into a generous private parking area positioned directly in front of the home, offering ample space for multiple vehicles as well as comfortable turning room. An attractive English‑heritage‑style two‑bay car barn, complete with power and lighting, provides additional covered parking. Adjacent to the barn is an overgrown area that presents an excellent opportunity for further parking or future landscaping, depending on preference. The surrounding grounds have been laid to lawn, creating a wonderful blank canvas for a new owner to design and shape into their ideal garden. Pathways run along both sides of the house, leading to the rear garden, which enjoys a wide layout and a post‑and‑rail boundary that provides security while still allowing full appreciation of the beautiful countryside views beyond. The rear aspect enjoys sunshine on the back of the house until the end of the day, making the large patio a perfect spot for outdoor dining, entertaining, or simply relaxing in the evening sun. Set on a larger‑than‑average plot, the garden offers huge potential for creative landscaping, family enjoyment, and stylish outdoor living.
Additional Information The driveway includes a shared section Services: Mains gas, drainage and electricity
LOCATION
Mark Cross is a charming Sussex village with a rich history, its name originating from the ancient “March” or boundary where the parishes of Rotherfield, Mayfield and Wadhurst once met. Over time, the crossroads at this historic junction evolved into the small, welcoming village now known as Mark Cross.
Despite its peaceful, rural feel, the village offers an appealing blend of amenities. At its heart is the much‑loved Lazy Fox, a superb country pub and dining venue, alongside a highly regarded plant nursery with its own restaurant, both popular with locals and visitors alike. As with many traditional Sussex villages, Mark Cross also enjoys a village green and community hub, creating a friendly, close‑knit atmosphere. Families benefit from a day nursery and the well‑regarded Mark Cross Church of England Primary School, both within easy reach.
The location is exceptionally well connected. Royal Tunbridge Wells lies just 5.7 miles away, offering extensive shopping, dining, leisure facilities and a mainline station with services to London. Crowborough (5.4 miles) and Uckfield (5.3 miles) also provide mainline rail links, as well as a wide choice of highly regarded schools — both state and independent — including Skippers Hill, Mayfield School, Beacon Academy, Holmewood House, and Uplands Academy.
For leisure, the surrounding countryside offers miles of scenic walks, bridleways and cycle routes, while nearby towns provide golf clubs, sports centres, theatres, boutique shops and excellent dining options. The wider Sussex and Kent coastline and countryside are also easily accessible.
Other notable destinations include Brighton (29 miles), Eastbourne (25 miles), Hastings (25 miles) and Gatwick Airport (27 miles), making Mark Cross an ideal base for both commuting and weekend exploration.
