Wheelwright Barn

Wheelwright Barn is a thoughtfully designed barn conversion resting on a 30-acre working farm near Mayfield, East Sussex, within the High Weald National Landscape. Offering step-free accommodation, wheelchair-friendly facilities and scenic countryside surroundings, this welcoming retreat is ideal for families, friends and multi-generational groups looking to explore this attractive corner of Sussex. Set entirely across one level, the barn has been carefully arranged to accommodate a range of accessibility needs. The open living space provides a wonderful place to gather after days of adventure, with a TV, WiFi and a fireplace creating a pleasant setting for spending time together. The fully equipped kitchen provides all the essentials for preparing hearty breakfasts and home-cooked meals, while additional appliances can be made available at a lower level on request.

Four well-presented bedrooms sleep up to eight guests, comprising two double bedrooms and two twin bedrooms, with the twin beds capable of being configured into king-size doubles for added flexibility. One double bedroom can accommodate a hoist beneath the bed, while one single bed can be converted into a high bed if required. A travel cot is also available for younger guests. The property benefits from a fully wheelchair-accessible wet room featuring handrails, an accessible basin and a high-level toilet seat, alongside a family bathroom with both a bath and separate shower. A wheeled commode and shower chair can also be provided on request.

Outside, guests can appreciate the surrounding countryside views while enjoying the farm setting, home to cows, sheep, pigs, chickens, ducks, streams and ponds. Families can enjoy opportunities to help feed animals, collect eggs and, depending on the season, perhaps even bottle-feed lambs. Secure parking is available for several vehicles, including a dedicated accessible parking space conveniently positioned near the barn. A shop and welcoming pub can both be reached with a short journey from the property. The nearby village of Mayfield offers historic architecture, independent eateries and access to beautiful walking routes through the Sussex countryside. Explore Ashdown Forest, famed for its connections to Winnie-the-Pooh, with waymarked walking trails, cycling routes and scenic viewpoints. Visit Royal Tunbridge Wells to discover The Pantiles, Calverley Grounds and a variety of shops and restaurants, or spend time in Heathfield browsing local cafés and exploring the surrounding countryside.
