An architecturally beautiful four/five-bedroom detached property located on one of Edenbridge's most sought-after roads, Pit Lane in Marlpit Hill, TN8. The architect was reputably H.M. Baillee Scott, a leading Arts and Crafts architect, whose designs are clear to see throughout the property. The property is entered via a glass entrance porch and through the original front door into the inviting hallway where many features are immediately present such as ornate plaster ceiling decorations, original stone floor, animal horn glass and lead panels, and, of course, the impressive Arts & Crafts turning staircase and finials. The hallway provides access to the impressive lounge with an original Georgian-style fireplace, a formal dining room, an Arts & Crafts fireplace with exposed ceiling beams, a useful cloakroom, and the kitchen. The Neptune kitchen is modern in design with a wonderful central island with integrated Neff appliances, and fully bi-folding doors that seamlessly link the garden into the kitchen area, a pantry, a utility room, and a study. The utility room has space for the usual appliances and also has an entrance into a perfect home office or potentially a cosy snug. Upstairs there is a carpeted landing with doors to all four double bedrooms, the family shower room, and a separate W/C. The principal suite has a modern ensuite bathroom with a free-standing ball and claw bath and shower. Externally and to the front there is a sweeping gravel driveway providing off-street parking, a level lawn with mature shrubs and an impressive Cedar tree, and also access to the double garage and separate annexe. To the rear of the property, there is a perfectly secluded garden with generous patio /seating areas complete with Chilstone Well, originally an 'Ice House'. The patio steps down onto a large expanse of level lawn again with mature shrubs and trees, a vegetable area, a rear pond, a potting shed, a summer house, and a tractor shed. The current owners have also cleverly considered the great British summer and created a delightful 'entertainment cabin' that is open-fronted to take in the view of the garden and also has power, lighting, heating, and storage. Marlpit Cottage is a truly spectacular, welcoming home and one that really must be viewed to appreciate and experience the history and period features within.
