Step into a spacious one-bedroom apartment set above Dorking’s High Street, ideal for a first-time buyer or investor seeking central location and strong rental appeal. The apartment combines period character — high ceilings, panelled walls, bay window and a feature fireplace — with a modern open-plan kitchen/living/dining room that measures around 17ft and receives plenty of natural light from two large windows.
The main bedroom is notably generous at 17ft with built-in wardrobes and a bay window, giving a sense of space rarely found in town-centre flats. Practical details include a contemporary bathroom, timber floors, mains gas heating with boiler and radiators, and fast cable broadband — good for working from home or attracting tenants.
Important practical facts: the property is leasehold with about 120 years remaining. Annual service charge is approx. £1,200 and ground rent £100. There is no private outdoor space and the building’s solid brick construction likely lacks cavity insulation, which could affect future heating bills and may present an upgrade opportunity. The town-centre location brings excellent amenities, short walks to multiple train stations, shops including Waitrose, parks and countryside beyond.
Overall this is a well-presented, compact one-bedroom apartment that offers good light, period charm and immediate convenience. It suits a buyer wanting a central home to enjoy or a landlord seeking a lettable town-centre flat, provided you accept the leasehold costs and limited outdoor space.
