St. Pauls Road West, Dorking

A beautifully presented and updated four-bedroom semi-detached family home, offering an impressive blend of character features and stylish contemporary living. Arranged over three floors, the property enjoys superb open-plan living space, four well-proportioned bedrooms, off-road parking and a generous established rear garden, all situated on the highly sought-after St Paul's Road West within easy reach of Dorking town centre, excellent schools and the surrounding Surrey Hills.

The accommodation begins with a welcoming entrance hallway, with useful understairs storage and a downstairs cloakroom. To the front is a cosy sitting room, providing a large bay window with plantation shutters and open fireplace which provides an attractive focal point. Built-in shelving and storage complete this comfortable and characterful reception space. Undoubtedly one of the highlights of the property is the superb open-plan kitchen, dining and family room, which has been thoughtfully remodelled by the current owners to create a fantastic sociable heart to the home. The former dividing wall has been removed and the kitchen repositioned, resulting in an exceptionally spacious and versatile area ideal for both everyday family life and entertaining. The stylish kitchen is fitted with an extensive range of contemporary cabinetry complemented by quartz worktops, a range cooker and integrated dishwasher, together with space for a freestanding American-style fridge/freezer. A substantial central island/breakfast bar provides additional storage, preparation space and informal seating. Attractive herringbone flooring flows throughout the kitchen, dining and family areas, with the added benefit of wet-system underfloor heating. There is ample room for a large dining table alongside a generous family seating area, while wide bi-folding doors and an additional window across the rear flood the space with natural light and provide a lovely outlook and direct access onto the garden. The former kitchen has also been cleverly repurposed as a separate utility room, providing excellent additional storage and laundry facilities away from the main living space.

Stairs rise to the first floor where there are three bedrooms and the family bathroom. Two are generous double bedrooms, both retaining attractive period-style features, while one benefits from a large bay window with plantation shutters. The fourth bedroom is currently arranged as a home office, making it ideal for those working from home while remaining perfectly suited for use as a bedroom. The family bathroom is fitted with a modern white suite comprising a bath with shower over, wash hand basin and WC. A further staircase leads to the second floor and the principal bedroom, a bright and spacious double room enjoying an elevated outlook across the rear, together with useful built-in eaves storage. There is planning permission to extend this room through a hip to gable conversion to add a dormer window to create a larger master suite with Juliette balcony.

Outside, the property benefits from off-road parking to the front, while the rear garden is another particular feature of the home. Immediately adjoining the house is a generous, paved terrace, creating an excellent space for outdoor dining and entertaining and providing a seamless extension of the open-plan kitchen/dining area during the warmer months. Steps lead onto a substantial lawn surrounded by mature shrubs, trees and established planting, creating an attractive and relatively secluded setting. A garden shed provides additional storage, with useful side access completing the outside space.
