Set within Ranmore Common in the Surrey Hills AONB, this characterful period semi offers a rare combination of traditional charm and recent high-quality updating. The extended, open-plan kitchen/diner with a glass lantern, wood burner and stone worktops creates a bright family hub with French doors onto a large, private garden that backs onto grazing fields. A self-contained annexe/office with its own entrance and ensuite adds flexible living or home-work options.
Internally the home feels light and thoughtfully finished: bespoke joinery in the living room, herringbone wood floors, a fitted kitchen island and attractive exposed beams give a sense of crafted detail. The gated driveway provides parking for several cars and mature planting wraps the 0.12-acre plot, creating privacy and two paved seating areas for entertaining or quiet enjoyment of the rural outlook.
Practical points to note: the house is relatively small at about 1,076 sq ft, arranged over multiple floors, and main heating is by electric room heaters rather than gas central heating. The property’s stone/granite walls are assumed to be uninsulated, which may affect running costs and comfort without further insulation work. Council tax is above average. Mobile signal is only average despite fast broadband.
This freehold home will suit families or couples seeking a renovated, characterful country home close to Dorking’s amenities and excellent local schools, while buyers should be prepared for the smaller internal footprint and potential energy-efficiency upgrades.
