Owner's perspective - "We have lived in Dove Barn in Church Mayfield for approx 31 years and are the first owners to live in the converted barn . Over the years we have replaced all the bathrooms at least twice, almost all the windows and they are double glazed , it has been decorated several times and the outside doors and the gate doors have been replaced very recently. The boilers have been serviced every year and they have been replaced and are fairly recent. The Aga is serviced every year as is the burglar alarm . We put in a new eco-friendly wood burning stove approx two to two and a half years ago. Church Lane is a quiet conservation area and the house is a warm welcoming home and we have been so happy there . Devastated to be leaving our beloved home but due to a family bereavement it is necessary now. We wish any future occupants find the same joy in living in Dove Barn as we did - best wishes and good luck."
