Sunnybank Close, Mayfield, TN20

Dominating an elevated position in the heart of Mayfield is this rather lovely mid-century property offering sensational countryside views across the Rother Valley and beyond.

The accommodation is spacious throughout and complemented by a wealth of natural light and well-proportioned rooms, most of which offer sensational views.

The front door opens to an entrance lobby with windows to side and front, tiled flooring and a further door to the entrance hall.  The staircase leads up and round to the first floor, with a window to side and an under stairs cupboard.  There is also an alarm panel and a door to an under stairs cloakroom, comprising WC and basin.

The family room is accessed from the hallway, and includes a contemporary inset gas fired fireplace, recessed into the chimney with bespoke fitted cupboards to either side, wood flooring and attractive deep bay window to the side. 

The open plan kitchen/dining/living area provides the most fabulous panoramic views across the valley and distant hillsides beyond, extending from Hurst Green right the way through to Broad Oak and Cross in Hand. This exceptional space benefits from Oak flooring throughout.

The living room includes bifold glass doors opening up to an attractive raised deck area with glass balustrade which truly brings the outside in.

The dining room is part of the original house, with window to side view and attractive lit glass fronted bespoke cupboards in the recesses either side of a feature fireplace on a granite hearth.

The kitchen comprises a range of wall and base units with part tiled walls and integrated appliances to include granite effect worktops/breakfast bar, integrated one and a half bowl sink with drainer, five ring gas hob with extractor above, chest level Siemens double oven and grill, plus space for upright American fridge freezer.

A doorway leads through to a convenient utility room, comprising a sink unit and space for further appliances, plus a further door to the rear study which is currently used for therapy purpose and includes wood flooring with window and door to front garden.

Stairs lead up to the first floor landing with a master bedroom, taking in the best of the views from a bay window, and a further window to side, including a range of fitted wardrobes and a door to an en-suite shower room, comprising a walk in shower with Aqualisa shower, pedestal basin and low level WC with a double flush, window to side, part tiled walls, towel rail and an extractor.

Bedrooms two and three are both beautiful double aspect rooms with the most fantastic views to the east and south. Bedroom three also includes a built in wardrobe and wood flooring. 

Bedroom four/home office is a single with window to side aspect.

There is also a sizable loft, which is part boarded and insulated and an airing cupboard.

The gardens are a real joy, being deceptively large for the central location, and arranged as a series of four levels, with the upper level forming an area with a greenhouse, vegetable patch and pear tree, plus offering scope for more vegetable beds for the keen gardener, with low level stone walls and lawns leading to the second level with the house and immediate gardens, mainly laid to lawn with flower beds.  The level also provides access to the raised decking and the best of the views. 

The middle level is mainly laid to lawn, with a fence enclosing the space providing access to an attractive summerhouse, making the most of the views, and further access to a substantial shed/workshop, which has a power supply.  

Right at the far end of the garden, across the Southern boundary with The Avenue beyond is an area of off road parking for two vehicles plus access to the double garage which is recessed into the bank, with an up and over door.  There are illuminated paved steps that lead up to the garden from the garage.
