The property

21 Mayfield Road is a substantial late-Victorian end-terrace villa, with a secure walled garden, situated on the corner of Mayfield Road and Bright's Crescent. It has been modernised, extended, yet still retains many period features. The front and side of the property are fully double glazed, while at the rear are the original casement windows. Most windows have fully functional shutters. Services include VirginMedia cable, gas central heating/water, with a separate hot water tank. The rear garden has a secure side entrance for bin access, two patio areas, a garden shed, rainwater tank and an outside tap. The front garden includes the two off-street car parking spaces, which are accessed from Bright's Crescent. There is an outside tap. On the ground floor, the entrance vestibule opens to the hall and staircase; there are two hall cupboards. The overhead cupola has been modernised, and affords plenty of natural light. There are two bedrooms, both with en-suite shower etc; a bathroom; the dining room, with a gas stove; the kitchen, with window overlooking the garden, and a door to the patio; the utility room; the workshop and a small toilet. There is easy access to the parking area from the rear door. On the first floor, there is the living room, with oak floor, living-flame gas fire and cable TV point; bedroom/study; main bedroom at the rear; small bedroom at the front; a bathroom, and an airing cupboard with the hot-water tank. The attic rooms are accessed by Ramsay ladder from the rear bedroom. There are two velux windows, one of which opens to allow access to the flat part of the roof. The cellar space is accessed from the kitchen. It houses much of the central heating system (not the boiler), and gives ready access to all the underfloor plumbing.
