Description

Mayfield Grange is a small gated community of modern luxury houses and apartments, providing secure and convenient country living on the rural outskirts of the historic village of Mayfield. The properties are set within the superb grounds of the Grade II listed former Mayfield College, which extend to approximately 20 acres.

The original building was constructed circa 1865 by the renowned Victorian Gothic architect Edward Pugin (who contributed to the design of the Palace of Westminster) and was lovingly restored and converted into residential apartments by Weston Homes in 2008.

Number 1 is a very generously proportioned, light, and spacious ground floor apartment, beautifully presented throughout with stylish contemporary fixtures and fittings that complement the period features on offer.

The apartment features two sizeable double bedrooms; the principal bedroom benefits from a dressing area and an en suite bathroom. The second double bedroom has an en suite shower room.

The reception space works very well, geared towards modern living and entertaining, with an open-plan kitchen/dining/living room in addition to an impressive, more formal sitting room.
Notably, the apartment offers allocated parking for two cars, and further visitors’ parking is also available.

The extensive and impressive communal grounds include formal gardens, woodland, a former cricket pitch, and access to the residents' gym. From the grounds, residents can enjoy the local network of footpaths and country walks.
