It dates back to the Roman times and owes its growth to the local “Blue Lias” stone and its easy accessibility from London to the South West.
Mayfield is situated in a pleasant, established residential area, well away from busy roads yet within easy access to main trunk roads, and principal local towns and villages.

A few extra comments
Mortgages – we can help.
Bridging loans – We can help.
Moving house is complicated and stressful when a sale and purchase needs to be tied together in terms of finance and timing.
Sometimes we can negotiate an agreement to suit both sellers and buyers.
Sometimes a bridging loan can solve problems and remove stress.
