Hall Lane, Middle Mayfield

Rose Cottage is a charming detached cottage situated in the popular Middle Mayfield area, offering versatile accommodation and excellent potential for a buyer looking to create a home to their own taste. The property provides three double bedrooms, two bathrooms, including one on the ground floor, and three/four reception rooms, giving flexibility for family living, home working or additional dining and sitting areas. The accommodation would benefit from some modernisation, but the layout and character of the cottage provide a strong basis for improvement.

With its individual character, flexible living space and well-regarded location, Rose Cottage is likely to appeal to couples or families seeking a distinctive home with scope to put their own stamp on it. The property is offered with no upward chain.

Rose Cottage is situated in the popular hamlet of Middle Mayfield, approximately three miles from the market town of Ashbourne and close to the southern edge of the Peak District National Park. Ashbourne provides a wide range of shops, supermarkets, cafés, restaurants and leisure facilities, while the surrounding countryside offers excellent opportunities for walking and other outdoor pursuits. The location is also well placed for access towards Uttoxeter, Derby and Stoke-on-Trent, making it a convenient semi-rural setting for a range of buyers.
