Property

A charming former Miller’s cottage, built in circa 1835 with a wealth of period features throughout including exposed beams and original fireplaces, located in the historic village of Sundridge, surrounded by beautiful countryside. The cottage has been renovated by the current owner and offers a stylish modern finish throughout.

The entrance door opens into a large reception room which features exposed beams and an attractive fireplace with wood burning stove. At the rear of this space is a dining area with an opening to the kitchen and stairs to the first floor. The kitchen overlooks the back garden and is fitted with a range of bespoke solid oak in-frame units with solid oak worktops and a butler sink. A stable door leads out to the garden and there is an adjoining utility room. There is a further reception room on the ground floor which can be used as a 3rd bedroom, leading through to the family bathroom. This is finished in a period style with engraved marble tiled flooring and a traditional white suite including roll top bath with shower over and glass screen, pedestal basin and WC.

Upstairs the first floor landing leads to two good sized bedrooms. The master bedroom is a large double room which enjoys views across the road to Sundridge Mill Pond and has access to eaves storage. The rear bedroom enjoys a pleasant outlook across the back garden.

The property benefits from double glazed windows with mains gas central heating and a modern combi boiler.

The property is set behind a picket fence with a tiered front garden that features some attractive planting and a Silver Birch providing screening. A set of steps leads up to the front entrance with a gate on the left offering particulalry wide side access to the rear.

The delightful back garden is south facing and is approximately 125 feet in length. It has been lovingly cared for and provides plenty of space for children to play or to sit and enjoy the sunshine. A small patio to the immediate rear of the house has direct access from the kitchen and wraps down the side. There is a good sized area of lawn and borders filled with a variety of plants and shrubs and a number of fruit trees offering a stunning variety of colour. A summer house with power and lighting is currently used as an artist’s studio and would make an excellent home office.
