South‑west facing farmland outlook and late-afternoon patio sun
Rosemary Cottage is a late-Victorian four-bedroom semi-detached house set beside open farmland, offering generous rooms and outstanding south‑west views. Period features, a cosy sitting room with a feature fireplace and a bespoke kitchen/breakfast room with triple-aspect windows create a bright, characterful home for family life. The principal suite is a spacious double-aspect room with a walk-in wardrobe and en suite, while three further bedrooms and a family bathroom complete the first floor.
Outside, large gardens and a patio positioned for late-afternoon sun provide private outdoor space, with a stream forming the north‑eastern boundary and off‑street parking to the front. The plot size and rural setting create scope for garden projects or modest extension (subject to consents).
Buyers should note a number of practical considerations: the house is heated by an oil‑fired boiler, the solid brick walls are assumed to be uninsulated, double glazing was installed before 2002, and broadband speeds in the area are very slow. Council tax is described as expensive. These factors mean some upgrading may be required to improve energy efficiency and connectivity.
For families wanting countryside living within reach of Dorking, Guildford and commuter rail links, this property blends authentic period character with a substantial plot and superb rural outlook. It will suit purchasers seeking a peaceful rural retreat with potential to modernise and personalise over time.
