An elegant, late-Victorian detached house set on just under 0.5 acres with far-reaching views over the lower slopes of Leith Hill. Extending to about 2,916 sq ft, the house retains many original features — bay windows, decorative coving and an open fireplace — and offers generous, flexible family accommodation across three floors. A large paved terrace and mature, landscaped gardens provide a private, attractive outdoor setting, while a long driveway and double garage supply ample parking.
The layout suits families seeking period character and space: six bedrooms, a principal bedroom with en suite, two further reception rooms plus a garden room and snug/office. There are useful service spaces including a fitted kitchen with AGA, breakfast room, utility and downstairs cloakroom. Two bathrooms serve six bedrooms, and the second-floor rooms offer potential for conversion to additional living or bedrooms subject to consent.
Buyers should note material sustainability and running-cost issues: the property currently has an EPC rating of F and cavity walls are assumed to be uninsulated, so energy upgrades (insulation, glazing checks, heating modernisation) are likely to be needed. Council tax is described as quite expensive. While well maintained externally and in good decorative order in parts, the house will benefit from targeted modernisation to improve energy performance and bring some rooms up to contemporary standards.
Set in a peaceful Surrey Hills hamlet, the location combines rural tranquillity with good transport links to Dorking and London. The plot, elevated position and classic period detailing make this a strong proposition for families wanting long-term space and character, or buyers prepared to invest in energy and interior improvements to unlock full potential.
