Situated on one of Dorking’s most desirable roads, this substantial four/ five-bedroom detached house offers comfortable living across three floors and a generous private plot. The bright 24ft sitting room opens to a mature rear garden and paved patio, while a kitchen/breakfast room with adjacent utility gives practical family space. The principal bedroom features fitted wardrobes and an ensuite; two versatile loft rooms provide additional bedroom, office or hobby space.
The property totals approximately 2,169 sq ft and has clear scope to extend to the rear and sides, as neighbouring homes have done — offering strong potential to increase living space subject to planning. The large in/out driveway and detached single garage provide useful parking, and the location is convenient for The Ashcombe School, local primaries and both Dorking mainline stations for London commuting.
A straightforward refurbishment would modernise parts of the house and personalise finishes. Buyers should note the property was built 1900–1929 with cavity walls assumed uninsulated and double glazing of unknown age; upgrading insulation and some systems may be advisable to improve comfort and running costs. Council Tax falls in Band G, so ongoing costs are higher than average.
This house will suit growing families seeking space, good schools and easy rail links, or buyers aiming to add value through extension and targeted modernisation. The proximity to Denbies Vineyard, Box Hill and local countryside gives everyday access to outdoors and leisure while retaining town conveniences.
