Spacious elevated plot with panoramic countryside outlook and large private gardens.
Grade II listed cottage with abundant period features
A character-filled Grade II listed cottage set on about three‑quarters of an acre at one of the highest points in the Surrey Hills National Landscape. The house combines classic period features — exposed beams, flagstone floors, inglenook fireplace and a farmhouse AGA — with flexible living across three reception rooms and three bedrooms. Large windows and vaulted ceilings create light-filled rooms and sweeping countryside views from multiple aspects.
Outdoor space is a major asset: mature, private gardens, a courtyard patio for alfresco dining, parking for several cars and a useful two-room outbuilding with a boot/utility area and shower. The elevated position offers panoramic, peaceful vistas and easy access to local walking routes, Denbies Vineyard and nearby Dorking’s amenities.
Important practical points: the property’s Grade II listed status preserves historic character but will limit alterations and can add consent cost and complexity. There is a single main bathroom for three bedrooms and broadband speeds are slow; mobile signal is average. Council tax is noted as expensive. These factors are worth factoring in alongside the cottage’s strong location, plot size and period charm.
This home will suit buyers seeking a private, rural retreat with strong period character and garden scale — those prepared to accept the limits and costs of listed ownership and to update services where desired. For outdoors lovers and families wanting proximity to top schools and countryside recreation, it offers a rare combination of seclusion and accessibility.
