Description
Interior - The layout flows naturally from the front door providing access through to the main living space. An impressive open-plan living/kitchen area, creating a bright and sociable environment ideal for modern living. The kitchen has been newly installed and features striking Forest Green cabinetry, complemented by contemporary worktops. Integrated appliances include an induction hob with a pull-up extractor, electric oven and dishwasher, alongside plumbing for a washing machine. The generous proportions of this room, as shown on the floor plan, allow ample space for both seating and dining. Completing the ground floor is a stylishly re-fitted bathroom, finished to a high standard with modern fittings.
On the first floor, a central landing provides access to two well-proportioned bedrooms. The principal bedroom is a comfortable double, whilst the second bedroom also offers good space and benefits from wardrobes, which can be included within the sale if desired.
This attractive home presents an excellent opportunity for first-time buyers, downsizers or investors seeking a turnkey property in a desirable village location.
Exterior - There is a shared pathway with a good sized front garden, which is laid to lawn. An external store. There is a pedestrian right away across all four properties which leads to two parking spaces. This is accessed by a rear private right-of-way. To the rear of the property is a very small courtyard which is shared with next door.
Locality - Mayfield is a charming village nestled on the Staffordshire side of the River Dove, just about two miles from the bustling market town of Ashbourne. The village is divided into distinct areas: Church Mayfield, Wallash, Middle Mayfield, and Upper Mayfield, each with its own unique character.
The village features a convenient local store and a nearby church, adding to its quaint, community feel. Historically significant, Mayfield was recorded in the Domesday Book under the name 'Mavreveldt', highlighting its rich heritage that continues to enchant residents and visitors alike.
The River Dove, a picturesque natural boundary between Derbyshire and Staffordshire, is spanned by the stunning Hanging Mill Bridge. This scenic location not only offers breathtaking views but also serves as a gateway to the broader delights of Ashbourne and the renowned Peak District. This proximity makes Mayfield an ideal spot for those who appreciate the outdoors and are seeking a tranquil yet accessible countryside retreat.
Owner's perspective - "When we first came to view this property the first things that stood out to us was the location, looking out of every window was fields, with us both growing up in the countryside it felt very homely. The property also had so much character which we absolutely loved like the original fireplace. When we got the keys in May 2023 we got to work adding a modern twist on the cottage style terrace and wanted to utilise as much space as possible. We absolutely loved turning this house into our home."
