Bentsbrook Park, Dorking, RH5

This stunning family home has been extended over the years to create bright, spacious and versatile accommodation arranged over two floors. The layout offers a great deal of flexibility for modern living, with further scope to update, personalise or enlarge, subject to the usual consents.

The accommodation begins with a generous L-shaped entrance hall leading to a cloakroom and a formal dining room overlooking the rear garden. The sitting room is full of character, centred around a fireplace with gas stove, and opens into a conservatory that draws in an excellent amount of natural light. The country-style kitchen is fitted with a range of wall and base units with tiled splashbacks, a sink with mixer tap, breakfast area, oven with hob and extractor, together with space and plumbing for a dishwasher. A serving hatch connects through to the dining room, while the kitchen itself opens into a spacious utility room providing further matching storage units, a one and a half bowl sink, space and plumbing for a washing machine and separate dryer, along with room for freestanding fridge freezers. A side door gives direct access to the garden. Positioned just off the kitchen, a ground floor extension creates a highly flexible bedroom suite, originally designed as a space-saving granny annexe. It proved ideal for the owner’s mother for many years. The room features fitted wardrobes with an integrated purpose-built double Murphy bed, which folds away neatly when not in use and will remain. French doors and a skylight provide plenty of natural light and a pleasant outlook across the garden. The suite is served by a well-appointed en-suite shower room with low-level W.C., vanity unit and wash hand basin. Upstairs, a further extension has created an impressive principal suite incorporating a large dressing room and generous en-suite bathroom. There are two additional double bedrooms together with a modern fully tiled family bathroom featuring a bath, wash hand basin and wet room-style shower.

Outside: The property is set back behind an attractive in-and-out brick-paved driveway framed by brick pillars and providing generous parking, leading to an integral garage. Side gates give access to the rear garden, which is beautifully landscaped and enjoys a high degree of seclusion, enclosed by a brick wall to one side and fencing to the other. Well-stocked borders provide colour and structure throughout the seasons. From the conservatory, double doors open onto a raised sun terrace with balustrade, leading down to a flagstone patio and hot tub area, ideal for entertaining and outdoor dining. Bents Brook runs through the garden and is crossed by a small bridge leading to a further lawned area with seating space, summerhouse and garden shed. In total, the grounds extend to approximately 0.36 acres (0.15 Ha), creating a wonderful outdoor setting.

Garage: Accessed via the side passage, the garage has an p-and-over door, power, lighting and a window overlooking the garden.
