Coming to the market for the first time in 50 years, this three-bedroom detached house on a quiet private road offers generous family living and clear potential. The property sits on a large plot with an impressive established rear garden, driveway parking and a single detached garage — ideal for outdoor life and growing families. Internally the home keeps many mid-century proportions: an 18ft living room, separate dining room and a bright garden room that opens to the patio.
The layout is practical for family life but needs modernisation throughout. There is one family bathroom upstairs and a downstairs WC; the bathroom and kitchen are functional but dated, presenting scope to update or extend (STPP) to create contemporary family accommodation. The house benefits from double glazing (post-2002), mains gas central heating, an FTTC broadband connection and solar panels, which help running costs.
Location is a strong asset: the Ashcombe School is adjacent, other well-regarded schools are nearby, and Dorking’s stations, High Street and countryside walks are all within easy reach. Council Tax Band F should be noted as a recurring cost, and residents contribute £80/year to the private road maintenance. Buyers should expect renovation works and possible reconfiguration to fully realise the home’s potential.
For families seeking space, garden and local schools — with the budget and appetite for improvement — this property is a rare chance to create a modern family home in a desirable Dorking location with scope to increase value through updating or extension (subject to planning).
