Period family home with garden, garage and extension potential STPP.
South/east-facing garden with raised patio and far-reaching views
Set on a generous plot in one of Dorking’s most sought-after roads, this four-bedroom detached family home combines period charm with practical living space. The ground floor offers two formal reception rooms, an adaptable fourth bedroom or study, and a kitchen with direct access to a covered utility area, garage and south/east-facing garden. Large windows and patio doors frame far-reaching views and bring abundant natural light into the rear rooms.
Outside, a raised patio provides a pleasant entertaining space overlooking a formal lawn, mature shrub borders and a vegetable patch. Driveway parking and a single garage add everyday convenience, while the property’s plot gives scope to extend further subject to planning permission (STPP) for families needing extra space.
Practical considerations are straightforward: the house dates from the 1930s, has cavity walls assumed without added insulation, double glazing of unknown age, and a single family bathroom serving four bedrooms. Council tax is high for the area. These factors create clear opportunities to modernise heating, insulation and bathrooms to increase comfort and long-term value.
Located within Ashcombe School catchment and a short distance from Dorking town centre and mainline stations, the home will especially suit families seeking good local schools, green views and easy commuting links. Buyers seeking a ready-to-move-in turnkey home may need to budget for updating; those wanting to add value will find extension potential and landscaping opportunities attractive.
