The Property

Mayfield is a highly attractive stone-built detached property with pretty gardens and views that take in historic Haughton Castle. The property is nestled in a quiet location in the popular yet peaceful village of Barrasford.

The lovely stone and tiled exterior is complemented by elegant interior décor that blends character features with high quality modern fixtures and fittings. Light, airy and open living spaces are ideally suited to contemporary living requirements. The front door opens to the entrance hall with beautiful floor tiling, leading to the ground floor accommodation and stairs to the first floor. The open plan sitting room and dining room offers impressive space. The sitting room has a large picture window that fills the room with natural light. An exposed stone feature wall surrounds the fireplace and combines with a grand ceiling beam to create definition between the sitting and dining areas. Glazed double doors open from the sitting room to the garden room which wraps around the corner of the property to make the most of southerly views over the countryside. The kitchen/breakfast room is finished to an exceptional standard, with stylish bespoke cabinetry, sleek wooden worktops and gorgeous tiling. The central island offers casual dining space and a good size pantry provides great practicality. A study provides the ideal place to work from home.

Mayfield benefits from a ground floor bedroom with an adjacent shower room, providing accessible sleeping accommodation that also works as a guest suite.

There are four bedrooms arranged across the first floor with varying outlooks. All of the bedrooms are finished in relaxing neutral colour palettes. The largest bedroom benefits from extensive fitted wardrobes. Serving the bedrooms is a family bathroom with suite comprising freestanding roll top bath, separate shower, wash hand basin and WC.

Externally

Mayfield sits within a good plot with generous parking and charming gardens. The stone pillared gate opens to an expansive gravelled driveway with ample parking and turning space, leading on to the integral garage. Superbly maintained gardens wrap around the south and west elevations. Well-kept lawns are surrounded by colourful and vibrant borders and plantings, along with planting beds to one side for the keen kitchen gardener. Views stretch away from the foot of the garden across open countryside to woodland beyond. To the side of the house is an outdoor entertaining area with an area of raised decking, and a fabulous wood burning pizza oven bringing a touch of fun when spending time with family and friends.
