Station Road, Mayfield, TN20

Aylwins is a sandstone ironmasters house that dates back to the 15th century with 17th century additions. Now divided into four homes, with no 4 the oldest portion. The house has seen considerable restoration including the reinstatement of an early Jacobean door and is full of character features, including sandstone Mullion windows, natural floor coverings to a number of rooms, beautiful oak doors, as well as exposed beams and timbers. Ceiling heights are exceptionally high.  Converted with the rest of Aylwins in 2009, the property was restored with a modern gas central heating system, new electrics, modern kitchen and individual bathrooms to make day to day living easier.

The well-proportioned accommodation is arranged over three levels, with the ground floor comprising an entrance hall with herringbone flooring,  stairs to the first floor and glass doors and panelling to the open sitting/dining room with high ceilings to add to the spacious feel, timbered walls ceiling, windows to front to rear, offering an outlook over both your private gardens and the central courtyard, and all fitted with wooden shutters.

The top two floors comprise three bedrooms; two doubles with en-suite shower rooms, a good sized third bedroom and a family bathroom.

The master bedroom is a wonderful size, with exposed timbers and a door to the light en-suite shower room, both rooms with windows to the front, and the bathroom enjoying the tiled shower, WC and basin, tiled floor and part tiled walls, heated towel rail and extractor.

The third bedroom is adjacent, now fitted with an array of bespoke wardrobes and enjoying a window to the rear courtyard, whilst the family bathroom is a front facing room comprising a bath with shower over and glass shower screen, WC and basin, stone tiled floor and walls and a heated towel rail.

The communal gardens, which are only accessible to those within the development, are rather lovely, and accessed via a stone archway just a few yards from the front garden, including a focal and mature Cedar of Lebanon tree, charming and well stocked flower bed borders, and a further secluded rose garden area.  There are two designated parking spaces within the brick-block forecourt by the main building and the communal bin stores are also located nearby.  Further visitor parking is available behind the Mews houses.
