Maldons

Set behind wrought iron gates and forming one of just three homes within an exclusive private estate that dates back over 100 years in Bletchingley, Surrey, Maldons is a beautifully maintained period home offering generous accommodation, three well-proportioned bedrooms, and a SUPERB southeast-facing garden of approximately 123 ft.  The Property: The accommodation is thoughtfully arranged and well balanced, with three good-sized bedrooms, all enjoying attractive views, creating a bright and tranquil first-floor setting. Two bathrooms serve this level. A bright and well-maintained kitchen with a traditional feel, featuring ample cabinetry, a central island, and views across the frontage of the estate. Practical and comfortable for everyday use, it is complemented by an adjoining utility room and offers clear potential for a purchaser to update and personalize over time. The Drawing Room is well proportioned and centered around a characterful inglenook-style fireplace with a wood-burning stove, creating a warm focal point. Soft neutral tones and a large window enhance the sense of light and comfort, while fitted cabinetry to either side provides practical storage. Access to the garden from this room is through the French door. A charming and relaxed principal reception space, ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. Next to the Drawing Room is a beautifully proportioned Dining Room, bathed in natural light from a bay window with a French door opening onto the garden. This elegant space comfortably accommodates a large dining table, making it ideal for hosting. Bespoke fitted shelving adds both character and functionality, reinforcing the home’s classic appeal. A finely crafted David Salisbury orangery, added in 2012 with listed building approval (Maldon is a Grade II listed home), provides a more contemporary contrast to the main house. With underfloor heating and direct access onto the garden, it creates a light-filled additional reception space, perfectly positioned to enjoy the southeast-facing grounds throughout the year. Outside: One of the standout features of Maldons is its BEAUTIFULLY established, southeast-facing garden extending to approximately 123 ft, offering excellent sunlight and a high degree of privacy. The grounds are mainly laid to lawn and bordered by mature hedging and trees, with open farmland beyond enhancing the sense of space. The property is approached via electronically operated wrought iron gates, leading onto a gravel driveway with ample private parking. A double garage sits beneath the orangery, with power, lighting, and a remote-controlled door. A paved terrace and patio area provide an ideal setting for outdoor dining and entertaining, screened from the front by an attractive high brick wall. Blending period charm with future potential, Maldons offers a rare opportunity to create a truly special home within private, established grounds. Location:  The home is within walking distance of the successful independent and co-educational Hawthorns nursery and prep school. The village primary school is well known and is set in extensive grounds. Caterham, which is nearby, has further prestigious schools. The high street is lined with traditional pubs, a post office, and village and antique shops. The surrounding countryside is lovely, making it a popular spot in Surrey for hikes, horseback riding, and golf. Bletchingley falls within a conservation area. Gatwick Airport is around a 21-minute drive away. The M23 and M25 are easily accessible. The nearest train stations are Nutfield and Redhill. Other information There are no set service charges.
