Rothes Road, Dorking, RH4

An exemplary period home carefully and stylishly re-imagined to provide beautifully proportioned living space that radiates a sense of calm elegance and historical distinction. This extraordinary duplex apartment spans the entire ground floor of a former Edwardian rectory and has been tastefully modernised in recent years to embrace modern ideals of high quality ensuite facilities, contemporary bathroom fittings, stylish fitted kitchen and informal, open plan living spaces. The recent improvements have equally been carefully managed to retain and complement many of the original period features including high ceilings, ornate cornicing, stained glass windows, wooden floors and stunning fireplaces in the two reception rooms. Overall there is a sense of light and generous proportions that is apparent from the large entrance hall throughout the property. Principal living space incorporates two interlinking reception areas for living and dining, both incredibly light and the latter being open plan to the kitchen providing a super area for informal and formal dining and living. The kitchen itself is comprehensively fitted and has direct access onto the secluded, landscaped and south facing rear gardens. There are three generous double bedrooms on the ground and lower ground floors, the lower ground providing a superb self-contained suite. There is a smaller fourth bedroom which is currently used as a study.
