The Avenue, Mayfield
Guide Price £700,000

Positioned on a quiet, single track lane within the centre of the village, this property enjoys what are perhaps some of the finest views in Mayfield, Pond House (formerly Flower Place) looks out across the Rother Valley and provides a house suitable for complete refurbishment and modernisation. EPC Rating: D. NO CHAIN.

A rare opportunity has arisen to purchase a house nestled on a quiet lane in the heart of Mayfield village offering stunning views across the Rother Valley. The plot totals around 1/3 of an acre with direct access to fabulous countryside footpaths.

This property requires extensive refurbishment and modernisation throughout, but also has the benefit of planning permission to replace the house with a much larger property if desired.

Pond House comprises a hallway, utility room, kitchen, sitting room and a dining room, four bedrooms, en-suite and bathroom. The property presents brick and weatherboarded and tile hung elevations beneath a tiled roof. The house now needs extensive modernisation and refurbishment both inside and out.
