Westcott Road, Dorking, RH4

Occupying part of the magnificent Sondes Place mansion, originally built by Thomas Cubitt, this elegant ground floor apartment combines the scale and character of a historic country house with the convenience of modern living.

The apartment enjoys its own private entrance and immediately impresses with its generous proportions, high ceilings and large sash-style windows, allowing natural light to flood the principal rooms. There is also underfloor heating throughout.

At the heart of the property is a spacious kitchen and dining room, fitted with contemporary cabinetry and quality integrated appliances. Double doors open directly onto a private west-facing terrace, creating an excellent space for outdoor dining and entertaining.

The reception room is particularly attractive, featuring herringbone flooring, decorative ceiling detailing and a working feature fireplace. Large windows overlook the landscaped grounds and reinforce the sense of space throughout the apartment.

The principal bedroom benefits from fitted wardrobes and a beautifully appointed en suite shower room finished with marble-effect tiling and contemporary sanitaryware. The second bedroom is a comfortable double room and is served by a separate shower room finished to the same high standard.

Outside

Outside, the private terrace enjoys a westerly aspect and provides direct access to the surrounding communal grounds. The apartment also benefits from allocated parking spaces together with a car barn incorporating secure storage.
