EPC: Grade II Listed / Royal Borough of Kingston Council Tax Band G
Bordering farmland and tucked away down a peaceful lane, this hidden, historic gem on the edges of Chessington will pleasantly surprise and impress you with its unique offering to the market.
Spanning over 500 years, the oldest part of the property, dates from the early 1500's with subsequent, sympathetic extensions carried out in the 1600's and late 1980's which provide this home with its distinct character and charm. Displayed throughout is an abundance of wonderful architectural features, including the original wide floorboards, a bread oven, an impressive fireplace surround and stained glass windows taken from Winchester Cathedral. There is also a priest's hiding hole for those who appreciate history!
Accessed by two different staircases, there is a choice of three upstairs bedrooms with the middle section of the house, being arranged as the Master suite area, complete with a stylish bathroom and a dressing room. On the ground floor, there are two sitting rooms, plus the attractive, "Orangery style" Family/Diner opening into a modern Kitchen. This area is undeniably the hub of the home with views across the gardens and a more contemporary feel. At the other end of the house, added more recently is an attractive home office/studio also overlooking the garden, which has heating, power and is accessed externally.
Furthermore, in the grounds of the house adjacent to the driveway is a substantial detached barn, which contains a Bathroom, Kitchenette and mezzanine level Bedroom area.
Monks Cottage is truly an extraordinary property which has been superbly maintained, presents beautifully and which will have great appeal for those looking for something a little bit out of the ordinary and who are drawn to period properties.
