Summary - THE OLD POST OFFICE SWANWORTH LANE MICKLEHAM DORKING RH5 6DY
5 bed 3 bath Detached
Recently refurbished five-bedroom home with flexible living and a south-facing courtyard.
Grade II listed cottage with original sash windows and period features
The Old Post Office is a charming Grade II listed five-bedroom cottage recently extended and fully refurbished to a high standard. Period features — sash windows, fireplaces and bespoke joinery — sit alongside a contemporary open-plan kitchen and south-facing courtyard, creating practical family living and attractive entertaining space. The lower-ground floor provides two versatile rooms currently used as a bedroom and home office, adding useful flexible accommodation for guests or remote working.
Situated in peaceful Mickleham village on the edge of the Surrey Hills AONB, the house benefits from excellent commuter links to Leatherhead and Dorking stations and quick road access to the A3 and M25. Well-regarded state and independent schools are within easy reach, making the house suitable for families seeking village life with convenient transport.
Buyers should note important constraints: the Grade II listing will restrict alterations and may complicate future remodelling or extensions. The plot is small and garden space is limited, and the solid brick walls are assumed uninsulated which could affect running costs despite the new refurbishment and gas boiler heating. Council tax is above average.
Overall, this property suits a buyer who values historic character and a finished, move-in-ready interior, and who accepts limitations on external change and gardening scope. For those seeking a well-presented, characterful family home in an affluent, rural setting, this offers a rare opportunity close to countryside and commuter routes.
