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 - "This house has been a joy to live in. It is light, warm and spacious and flexible enough for entertaining or living quietly. My special spots are: The back room on sunny mornings, doing the crossword with the cat (though he’s not much help), The front room in the evening with the log burner and tv, waking up to a view of fields and sheep (albeit over rooftops), the garden for a mixture of flowers, vegetables and fruit (blackcurrants, gooseberries and apples), - the garage for DIY projects, the conservatory for days when it’s not warm enough to sit outside, the summerhouse at the bottom of the garden for a glass of something as the sun goes down. All my friends think I’m daft to be leaving….but it’s time to downsize."
