South Street, Mayfield, TN20

A rare chance to acquire a detached 2 bedroom cottage in central Mayfield that requires full modernisation, plus a garage, courtyard garden, workshop area, and period features, whilst being close to village amenities. NO CHAIN. EPC Rating: D.

Timewell Cottage forms a detached, character cottage, right in the middle of Mayfield, and now requiring complete modernisation inside and out.

The cottage comprises two first floor bedrooms and a first floor bathroom, plus a sitting room, kitchen, part-enclosed workshop area with a cloakroom, plus a rear courtyard garden and a separate, detached garage. There is a fairly modern boiler and a consumer unit dating from 2016. That said, the refurbishment works required are likely to cost around £100,000.

Much of the work is cosmetic, to include new kitchen and bathroom suites, and with that, new electrics and plumbing. We would also be confident that new double glazed windows and doors would be required, as well as a new flat roof and guttering to the bathroom.

The stairs are steep, but it is considered that these could be moved and altered, and in doing so, the second bedroom would therefore be enlarged, as would the kitchen.

One enters into the sitting room, with a window to front and fireplace, with shelving and cupboards to the side recesses. A door leads to the stairwell, and beyond is the kitchen, with a window to front, under stairs store/larder, wall mounted boiler, and free-standing cooker and sink unit.

Behind the kitchen is a partially open workshop area, located beneath the bathroom, with a door to the side path and an opening to walled open area, that could form a useful utility room. Off the workshop, there is a cloakroom comprising a WC.

The first floor provides a small landing with a loft hatch (not inspected), with access to both bedrooms and a bathroom. Both bedrooms enjoy windows to front, and one has a fireplace. The bathroom at the rear provides a bath, basin and WC, window to side and a built in store cupboard.

Outside, there is a small flower bed at the front of the cottage facing South Street. A side path and gate leads up to the rear courtyard garden, which is part walled, with flower bed borders and a central concrete seating area.

The separate garage is located just in to St Mary’s in the Field on the opposite side of South Street.

Timewell Cottage is located on South Street, a quiet road adjacent to the High Street.
