Croft Avenue, Dorking

FIRST OPPORTUNITY TO VIEW - SATURDAY 31ST MAY - BY APPOINTMENT ONLY Coming to the market for the first time in 50 years, this detached, three double bedroom family home presents an exciting opportunity for modernisation and extension (STPP). Situated on a sought-after private road, the property benefits from driveway parking, a single garage and a beautifully established rear garden - all within a peaceful and highly desirable setting. Located next to the Ashcombe School, Dorking's train stations and the High Street, this property must be viewed to be fully appreciated.

The property begins with a small porch that opens into a spacious entrance hall, setting the tone for the generous proportions throughout. The main lounge is an impressive size, centred around a charming open fireplace, and provides ample room for comfortable seating. Double doors lead into a delightful garden room - a bright and versatile space with French doors opening onto the rear garden, perfect as a reading nook, home office or additional living area. Adjacent to the lounge, the dining room is filled with natural light from a large front-facing window, making it a warm and welcoming space for family meals or entertaining. To the rear, the kitchen is fitted with a range of traditional units and pantry-style cupboards, offering excellent storage and functionality, along with generous worktop space. A single door from the kitchen opens into a useful lean-to, providing access to both front and rear gardens as well as the garage. Completing the ground floor is a convenient WC and handy understairs storage.

Upstairs, a bright and airy landing leads to three well-proportioned double bedrooms, all offering plenty of space for freestanding furniture and enjoying lovely views of the surrounding gardens. The family bathroom includes a bath with overhead shower and, while functional, offers scope for modernisation to suit personal taste.

Externally, the property enjoys a generous front garden, a single driveway, and access to a detached single garage. The rear garden is a true highlight - a tranquil haven with mature specimen shrubs, trailing plants, and a charming wildlife pond. A paved patio area offers the ideal spot for outdoor dining or simply enjoying the peaceful, private surroundings throughout the seasons.
