Five Ashes, Mayfield
Offers in Excess of £500,000

CASH BUYERS ONLY! In need of complete refurbishment, is this deceptively spacious, detached house that has been completely stripped pending a complete refurbishment, and now requires new electrics, heating, insulation, kitchen and bathroom suites and decor. The house comprises four bedrooms, two bathrooms, kitchen, three reception rooms, conservatory, cloakroom, reception hall and attached double garage, all set within front and rear gardens. NO CHAIN. EPC Rating: N/A.

The property appears structurally sound, with brick lower elevations, weatherboarded upper elevations beneath a tiled roof.

The interior has been stripped of ceilings, doors, electrics, heating system, and fitted kitchen and bathroom suites, as the property was pending a complete refurbishment/remodelling program, therefore it is considered unmortgageable.

There is considerable scope for modernisation, remodelling and indeed extending, subject to obtaining any planning consents.

One enters via the front door to a generous hallway, with stairs rising to the first floor, and a doorway to the cloakroom, housing a WC and basin, with a small window to side. Adjacent is a coat cupboard.

The sitting room is to the front, complete with an open fireplace, window to side and curved bay window to front. The family room/study is to the far side, accessed off the hallway, with a window to side, with the dining room beyond, providing access to the conservatory overlooking the rear garden.

Adjacent is the area where the kitchen was, again, with access to the hall, and a window to rear and a door to the rear garden. It is considered that this room will easily combine with the dining room, to form an open plan space, or indeed, be extended into the garage.

Upstairs is an open landing, with an off shoot with a window heading towards the garage, if someone wished to extend above the garage.

The main bedroom is to the front, with window to front, fitted wardrobe and access to a possible en-suite, with waste plumbing still in situ, connected to the soil stack.

Adjacent is the family bathroom, again with the waste plumbing still in situ, with a window to side. There are three further bedrooms, two to the rear with fitted wardrobes, and one to side.

Outside, there is a good sized front garden, with a tarmac driveway providing ample parking, turning and access to the garage and front door. There is an area of lawn and mature borders. The double garage has an up and over door, window to side and door to the rear garden.

A side path and gate leads to the rear garden, complete with a paved patio area by the conservatory, rear lawn and flower bed borders, with a small shed, and fence backing onto the protected 'contemplation garden' to the rear.

The property is located in Five Ashes, a small village enjoying a local public house, children's nursery, primary School and the renowned Skippers Hill Preparatory School, adjacent to the Hospice in the Weald's Cottage Hospice.
