Maytrees is a beautiful spacious traditional brick family home on the outskirts of Eastbourne. Well set back from the road, it offers easy access into the bustling revitalised town while set in a prime location for schools less than 500m from the award-winning Ratton School, and less than 800m from the highly regarded Park College campus of Sussex Downs college. Local shops are an easy stroll away and the Hampden Park train station is less than a mile away for trouble-free direct mainline travel. A short walk brings you to leafy, calm Hampden Park itself with wildlife galore in and around the lake. Supermarkets, the District General Hospital, pubs and restaurants are also close.

The property itself is set in well over half an acre (18m, 60ft wide by 15m, 50ft front garden, 18m, 60ft by 90m, 300ft rear garden) of mature and well kept gardens. The large lawned front garden featuring lavender bushes has parking for 4 cars with paths leading to the front door. A wood framed metal gate allows access along the side of the house to the delightful back garden which is in three distinct sections. The section from the house to the traditional Sussex wall is a flower garden to relax in with patio, established beds and mature trees and bushes which attract a great deal of bird life. A gate through the wall leads to the well-stocked fruit and vegetable garden, with a large sturdy shed (with mains power) and greenhouse as well as raised vegetable beds including a mature and productive asparagus bed as well as fruit plantings. This area opens on to the enchanting Eastbourne coppice at the very rear of the garden, with large mature trees and shrubs clustering round Willingdon stream which runs through the end of the garden. Two tiny bridges lead to a cool woodland walk. The whole garden is fenced off.

The present owners have overseen professional modernisation of the house. It has been fully replumbed from the mains connection with modern piping and radiators, and heating is provided by an energy-efficient gas condensing boiler. All drainage has also been replaced. The house has been completely double-glazed with high-security units. The kitchen has been modernised to the highest standards, featuring warm terracotta granite work surfaces, a built in coffee machine, induction hobs and a heated tile floor. The property is connected to gas, electricity mains water, drainage and two telephone lines. The tv aerial is connected to a distribution box supplying signal throughout the house. There is also an outside radio aerial. Electrical supply RCD protected throughout; most lights energy saving.
