Pendell Road, Bletchingley, RH1

Maldons has all the qualities associated with a formerly detached property including generously proportioned room sizes, private entrances, private parking and double garage and gardens screened from nearby properties. In 2012, a David Salisbury orangery was added to replace the Victorian greenhouse, after input and approval from the listed buildings inspector.

Period features include the bay-fronted dining room and bedroom above dating back to the 18th Century while Georgian sash windows, coving, dado rails and a large inglenook fireplace in the drawing room contribute elegance and charm.

The house has been carefully maintained over the years by the current owner for over 25 years and improvements include a superbly fitted kitchen and equipped utility room with Bergamo limestone floors extending into the orangery, thus integrating it into the existing building. The first floor offers three generous bedrooms and two bathrooms which enjoy views over the gardens and the surrounding countryside. In immaculate decorative order, the house is complemented by beautiful gardens and grounds to the boundary with open farmland beyond.

The central heating system is oil-fired by a new boiler in 2018, supplied by a new oil tank in 2024, together with underfloor electric heating in the orangery allowing all year use and enjoyment of the garden views.

Outside

The approach to Maldons is particularly imposing, access being provided by electronically controlled full height wrought iron gates, leading onto gravelled driveway and private parking area alongside a large expanse of lawn bordered by mature hedging and trees.
Beside the property an electronically remote-controlled door leads to the double garage, with power and lighting, set beneath the orangery, with power supply to two fishponds to the rear. A paved patio area and terrace are screened from the front of the house and driveway by an old high brick wall through which a side access wrought iron gate is provided.

Situation

Just over a mile away, the charming and historic village of Bletchingley has a wonderful array of period buildings along with traditional public houses, an antique auction house and a convenience store with post office.
