Chain-free ground-floor apartment combining Victorian character with contemporary living, ideal for a first-time buyer wanting countryside access without sacrificing comfort. The generous 16ft living room features a wood-burning stove and large windows framing far-reaching North Downs views, creating a warm, light-filled main living space. A modern kitchen/diner and sizable bathroom add practical day-to-day convenience.
Externally the well-maintained communal grounds and private seating area are a strong selling point, with off-road parking plus a single garage included. The property sits within the Surrey Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and is a short drive to Dorking town centre and a walk to Box Hill and Brockham — excellent for outdoor leisure and local schooling options.
Important practical facts: the flat is leasehold with 189 years remaining and a share of the freehold, and the annual service charge is approximately £1,800 (covers ground rent and maintenance). Broadband speeds are reported very slow, which may affect home-working without an upgrade. Council Tax Band D applies.
Overall this is a characterful, low-maintenance apartment in a highly desirable rural setting offering good storage, parking and garage ownership — suited to buyers seeking a scenic, commuter-friendly base. The main compromises are service charges, leasehold status (long lease) and limited broadband performance.
