Charming unlisted period property with off road parking & garaging, set in delightful gardens on the edge of Sundridge village.
Mallans is the most charming, unlisted period cottage understood to date from the late 15th century with later 16th century additions, situated in an elevated position, within a short distance from the centre of the popular village of Sundridge. The property has a wealth of character features including leaded light windows, exposed beams and timbers and two exposed brick fireplaces. Also of note are the delightful gardens which provide a wonderful backdrop to the property, together with excellent garaging, which was the former stabling and coach house, and off road parking.
A spacious entrance hall leads to two reception rooms; a sitting room with exposed brick fireplace inset with a wood burning stove and a dining room, currently used as a study, which has a fireplace. Both rooms enjoy a delightful southerly aspect over the gardens.
The kitchen/breakfast room is fitted with a comprehensive range of wall, base and full height units with several integral appliances. There is a breakfast area and a door leading out to the south-facing terrace. A cloakroom completes the ground floor.
From the entrance hall, a staircase leads to the first floor and four bedrooms, three enjoying views over the south-facing gardens, and a family bathroom. The principal bedroom has fitted cupboards and a vanity unit, and two bedrooms also have storage cupboards. There is a generous airing cupboard to the landing.
The property benefits from a driveway to one side which provides off road parking and leads to the excellent garaging, a former stable and coach store retaining mainly original features, with an EV charger fitted, and one garage ideal as a workshop. Steps leads up to the property and rear garden. To the front there is a bank of grass, mature hedging and stone wall.
The south facing part walled rear garden provides a glorious backdrop and is a real feature of the property. A paved terrace is ideal al fresco entertaining, and bordered by low level brick wall with planted borders. Steps lead up to an expanse of established lawn with borders planted with mature herbaceous shrubs, perennials, and established specimen trees. Outbuildings comprise a greenhouse and garden shed.
In total, the plot amounts to about 0.2 of an acre.
