The views are truly amazing and far reaching.

Locality - Mayfield is a village on the Staffordshire side of the River Dove, close to Ashbourne, being approximately two miles from Ashbourne. It’s divided up into Mayfield, Church Mayfield, Wallash, Middle Mayfield and Upper Mayfield. It also has a convenient local store and nearby church. Mayfield was mentioned in the Doomsday Book in which it was called 'Mavreveldt'. The River Dove is the boundary between Derbyshire and Staffordshire linked by the beautiful Hanging Mill Bridge. There is nearby pub, a village shop and nearby Ashbourne for its shopping amenities.

Owner's perspective - "River View has been the perfect family home for us for almost ten years now. It is a cottage full of character and quirkiness and we have really enjoyed bringing our boys up here.
We completely fell in love with the amazing views overlooking the river valley and we spend much of our time in the garden enjoying them. When you’re relaxing in the garden it feels like you could be in the middle of nowhere!
River View benefits from a quiet and friendly village location with many beautiful walks in the surrounding area. We spent many weekends exploring the local countryside during the pandemic. We are only looking to move as we have sadly outgrown the house but we have loved living here and would ideally find another suitable property in this area. "
