Description

A truly impressive four-bedroom period home offering over 1,431 sq ft of versatile accommodation, with picturesque views of Ranmore and a delightful garden. Situated in the heart of Dorking, just a few minutes' walk from the town centre, mainline train stations, excellent schools, and miles of stunning open countryside.

This beautifully presented, classic, halls-adjoining Victorian family home exudes all the character and period charm you would expect from this era, including bay windows, original sash windows, feature fireplaces, high ceilings, and generously proportioned rooms. The downstairs briefly comprises a charming front-aspect sitting room with a beautiful original fireplace, creating a warm, cosy atmosphere, built-in shelving, and a large bay window. The true centrepiece of this home is the impressive open-plan kitchen/dining/family room, which flows beautifully and has been designed as the heart of the home-ideal for modern-day family living or entertaining guests. This lovely, bright, airy space is enhanced by large Velux windows and double doors opening out into the garden, allowing natural light to flood in. The recently updated kitchen features a range of modern floor-to-ceiling units, complemented by Stardust quartz worktops, a double oven, an island bar highlighted with pendant lighting, and all the expected integrated appliances. Finishing off the ground floor is a downstairs cloakroom and a useful under-stairs storage cupboard.

Stairs rise to the first-floor landing, which provides access to all the rooms, with a useful loft hatch offering additional storage space. The master bedroom is an excellent size at 12'7 x 10'6 sq ft, benefitting from two large built-in wardrobes, as well as its own private en suite walk-in shower room. Bedroom two is a generous double, while bedroom three is a good-sized single that could alternatively be used as a study if desired. Both rooms share the modern family bathroom.

From the landing, a beautiful feature staircase curls up to the second floor, where bedroom four can be found. This room benefits from an en suite shower room as well as panoramic views stretching across the rooftops of Dorking and Ranmore. As you can see from the measurements, this is another excellently sized room, ideal for a teenager to have their own floor, a guest bedroom, or even a home office. The eaves are also accessed from this room.

Outside
To the front of the property, there is a pretty, wall-enclosed courtyard garden with an array of shrubs, creating a sense of privacy, side access to the back garden, and steps leading to the front porch.

The beautifully landscaped west-facing garden is another wonderful benefit of this home, including an area of lawn and a full-width patio, creating the ideal space for al fresco dining or entertaining in the warmer months. The entire garden is fully fence-enclosed, creating a serene and secluded space with an inviting array of shrubs and well-stocked flower beds. Towards the back of the garden, there is also a useful, large shed.
