Rotherfield Lane, Mayfield, TN20

Rydal House is a simply stunning example of a house that has been lovingly extended, tweaked and modernised to form a truly exceptional family home.  The open-plan nature of the triple aspect kitchen/breakfast/family room forming a wonderful hub of the home and entertaining space, whilst the master bedroom is also an excellent space, with a Juliet balcony, en-suite and a double sided walk-in dressing room.

The other bedrooms are all doubles, one with a newly formed en-suite.  The family bathroom provides a bath and shower, and a laundry chute to the utility room below.  The central heating is modernised to include under floor heating throughout the ground floor with radiators to the first floor and electric pads to the bathrooms.  The electrics, heating systems, bathrooms, kitchen, windows and external landscaping have all been updated within the last ten years.

One enters via an open front hall, with a new front door and floor to ceiling windows on either side is also now partially galleried to the first floor landing, with an attractive vista through to the rear garden.  A door leads into a large cloakroom, with coat cupboard and door to a WC, with further storage.

The central hallway beyond the stairs rising to the first floor runs through the house, with double doors to the office, which offer the view to the rear garden.

Doors also lead into the formal sitting room, with a dual aspect to front and rear, and a central fireplace to one wall, now housing a modern recessed wood-burner and stone surround and a slate heart.

The hall opens into a dining room, with a window to the rear garden and a continuation of the attractive wood effect flooring that runs through much of the ground floor.  This room then opens into the stunning kitchen.

The kitchen/breakfast/family room is sizable, enjoying a triple aspect to include two sets of sliding glass doors to the rear and side patios, as well as a window to front.  The kitchen is at one end, comprising a range of matt white cupboards and drawers, with a grey island, light grey quartz worktops, and integrated appliances to include a five ring induction hob, ceiling extractor above, two ovens, microwave, dishwasher, fridge/freezer, wine fridge, one and a half bowl sink and breakfast bar.  There are LED recessed spotlights and speakers in the ceiling.

A door leads into the adjacent utility room, housing matching modern units, inset sink and space for further appliances, including a washing machine and tumble dryer.  The boiler is also situated within the utility room.

The first floor comprises a central landing, with the main bedroom providing a vast space, with Juliet balcony to rear, window to side and an opening to a large walk-in wardrobe/dressing room, with fitted wardrobes providing hanging space, shelves and shoe racks.  A door leads into the en-suite, comprising a large walk-in shower with glass screen, bath, twin sinks and WC with concealed cistern, tiled walls and floor, heated towel rail and window to front.

There are three double bedrooms to the rear of the house of varying sizes, and a guest bedroom to the front, which provides access to its own en-suite, comprising a shower, WC and basin unit, with a heated towel rail and window to front.

The family bathroom comprises a walk-in shower, bath, sink and WC, window to front, tiled walls, floor, heated towel rail and a door to a laundry chute to the utility room below.

Outside, the gardens are also a delight, being beautifully landscaped, with large stone flagged terrace across the whole of the rear of the property, with dark grey stones and crisp, rendered walls with flower beds and planters, all commanding an outlook over the rear garden.  There is also a raised decking area to the side of the house by the kitchen, with a fabulous, covered shelter forming an ideal for alfresco dining space or relaxing overlooking a sunken garden area.  This shelter is wired for lighting and has a heater.

The rear garden also includes several maturing specimen trees and shrubs and is hedge enclosed and principally laid to lawn with a wild flower area at the bottom of the garden and a small wildlife pond.

The front garden is equally well landscaped, with mature Oak trees, Cherry, well established hedge and fence boundaries, and a new gravel driveway, providing off road parking for several vehicles and access to the garage.

The garage is larger than most, with two electric up and over doors to the driveway, and a pedestrian door to the side.  Oak stairs lead up the external wall to a door to an annex/studio in the roof above, complete with a fitted shower room, window to side and velux window to roof.  This space forms a remarkable multi-functional space, depending on one's needs.
