Set in a converted Victorian chapel in the heart of Dorking, this two-bedroom apartment combines period character with modern fixtures. The double-aspect living/dining room is bright and spacious, and the fitted kitchen includes integrated appliances for immediate use. Two double bedrooms, one with an en-suite, make the layout flexible for a first home or rental. Communal courtyard, telephone entry and nearby permit parking add practical convenience.
The building was converted to apartments in 2006 and the property is offered as leasehold with a 105-year lease and a share of freehold. Service charge is around £1,080 per year and council tax is moderate. Prospective buyers should note additional leasehold-related costs such as pack fees may apply.
Practical drawbacks to consider: broadband speeds are reported slow, local crime levels are high, and the original solid brick walls likely lack modern cavity insulation. Heating is mains gas with a boiler and radiators. Buyers seeking a fully finished modern upgrade should factor potential insulation or wiring reviews into their budget.
This apartment’s central location — a short walk to shops, cafés, schools and excellent transport links — will suit first-time buyers who want town living or investors seeking straightforward tenancy appeal. The combination of period charm, usable living space and nearby amenities presents immediate usability with scope for targeted improvements to increase comfort or rental yield.
