2 Bedroom Terraced House

Bennet Samways is delighted to present to the market this charming two-bedroom, mid-terrace stone house, nestled in a distinctive location adjacent to Mayfield Mill. The property enjoys breathtaking views across the tranquil River Dove, set within beautiful surrounding countryside. It benefits from a modern, updated breakfast kitchen and a stylishly renovated shower room, with the interior presented to an impeccable standard throughout. Further advantages include gas central heating and double-glazed windows, enhancing both comfort and efficiency.

Interior – Upon entering, a gate leads into a private courtyard and onwards to the main entrance. The entrance hallway provides access to the utility room and the kitchen. The utility room also serves as a guest cloakroom, fitted with a white suite, tiled flooring, and plumbing for a washing machine.
The breakfast kitchen has been thoughtfully refitted and features sleek, high-gloss units, grey quartz work surfaces, an induction hob, electric oven, and extractor hood. Integrated appliances include a fridge, alongside a stainless-steel sink unit. A staircase rises from the kitchen to the upper floors, while an open archway leads through to the living room.
The living room is warmly appointed with an inset fireplace housing a multi-fuel log-burning stove, and doors open onto the rear terrace, which enjoys peaceful views over the river.
To the first floor, the principal bedroom offers a tranquil retreat, positioned to take full advantage of views across the river and open fields beyond. The adjacent shower room is finished to a high standard, featuring a contemporary white suite and a generous double-width shower.
The second floor accommodates the second bedroom, which benefits from a skylight framing views of the surrounding countryside.

Exterior – To the rear is a block-paved terrace courtyard, which includes a right of way for neighbouring properties. A gate and steps lead down towards the river, providing a unique connection to the natural surroundings. From this vantage point, residents can enjoy outstanding views across open countryside.

Locality - Mayfield, a picturesque village nestled on the Staffordshire edge of the River Dove, lies near Ashbourne, with a distance of about two miles. The village is segmented into distinct areas: Mayfield, Church Mayfield, Wallash, Middle Mayfield, and Upper Mayfield. It boasts a handy local store and a church in close proximity. The River Dove serves as a natural divider between Derbyshire and Staffordshire, with the stunning Hanging Mill Bridge providing a connection across this boundary.

Owner's perspective - "I moved in here during COVID after viewing many houses, I came in to this property and was blown away with its character and charm, especially by the sound of the river dove flowing by the garden, where you'll see ducks, fish and people in canoes.
I've so many memories here, as a first time buyer and will be truly sad to leave; I had my first dog here, fell pregnant with my daughter here and we've now got so many fond memories.
Parking isn't a problem, I've always been able to park outside my house and there's plenty of parking up the road. The community feel is lovely, its one of the many things that drew me here. We have an island page and people go on here for numerous things. We really will be sad to leave, especially with all of the personal touches and works we've added to the property, including the new gated fence in our garden - I believe there's even our names in the concrete under the newly surfaced bricks. The log burner is a great addition as you can open the leg and brace door I had put in at the stairwell and heat travels straight up and warms the whole house, even our daughters room on the third floor. The community here really is lovely and they make you feel so welcome. I'd love for somebody to be able to create new memories here, as this property not only offers you a slower pace of life in the countryside, you have animals and fields on your doorstep. We have barely any false light so the stars are amazing, especially on a clear night overlooking the river and Harrisons field - this is our flood plain, so we have the beauty of the river but are safe from flooding."
