A substantial four-bedroom detached house arranged over three floors, set on the edge of National Trust woodland. The property offers more than 2,700 sq ft of comfortable living space with two generous reception rooms, a part-converted loft room with Velux windows, and a low-maintenance landscaped garden — appealing to families who want space and easy outdoor access.
Practical features include a long driveway with parking for several cars, a detached double garage with power and lighting, and a powered outbuilding/potting shed that could become a garden office or summerhouse with some work. The kitchen and ground-floor layout suit everyday family life, with a useful rear hall and cloakroom for boots and coats after walks on the common.
Some areas will need updating: the dining room and parts of the interior show dated mid-20th-century fittings and would benefit from modernisation; the solid brick walls are assumed uninsulated and the property carries a high council tax (Band G). The outbuilding and loft are functional now but would require work for conversion to permanent home office or bedroom use.
Location is a strong selling point — immediate access to Holmwood common and Leith Hill countryside, regular rail links into central London, and a selection of well-rated local primary and secondary schools. For buyers wanting character, space and scope to add value, this home is a rare chance to live beside protected woodland while remaining within easy reach of Dorking amenities.
