The master bedroom has a well fitted dressing room which leads to a large en suite bathroom. There are three further double bedrooms and a family bathroom on this level.

Whilst the inside of the property has much charm and character, the outside of Mayes Green Cottage is perhaps of as much importance. There is a large detached studio with a well fitted wet room, perfect for ancillary accommodation as well as a variety of purposes. The garden surrounds the property on three sides and are beautifully landscaped offering a high level of privacy. Being predominantly laid to lawn, the gardens are interspersed with flower and shrub borders as well as a variety of mature trees and an attractive wildlife pond. The side garden to the south was a former orchard, with an area of lawn which in turn leads to a fantastic external entertainment area centred around the heated swimming pool. The terraces around the pool culminate at an outdoor bar, ideal for outside entertaining. A gate at the far end of the garden leads through to a further area of land, in which, the tennis court is sited and well screened. The tennis court is in good working condition and is regularly maintained. Beyond the garden there is a large paddock with gated access onto Pondhead Lane and stables could easily be erected should a purchaser wish.
