On one of Dorking’s most beautiful and peaceful residential roads, this remarkable double-fronted detached home sits gracefully on a generous corner plot, cocooned in a verdant setting of mature planting and apple trees. With a sweeping west-facing front garden, thoughtfully designed vegetable plots and a charming greenhouse, the plot exudes a sense of calm and country elegance rarely found in such a well-connected location.
From the moment you step into the generous entrance hall, framed by original stained glass and rich parquet flooring underfoot, there is a palpable sense of warmth and welcome. Throughout the home, calming paint tones complement the abundant natural light, creating a soft, elegant backdrop to modern family living. A beautifully designed downstairs W/C sets the tone for the details to come.
The dual-aspect family room is bathed in sunlight and centred around a character fireplace, a perfect spot for quiet evenings or lively gatherings. The main reception room, equally striking, features treated original parquet flooring and a statement fireplace. Here, double doors lead to a bespoke home office – crafted with built-in cabinetry and shelving – and then on to the sun-drenched rear garden and patio beyond.
On the other side of the ground floor, the heart of the home unfolds: a large open plan kitchen breakfast room with an expansive central island, a serene shaker-style kitchen in neutral tones, and striking herringbone flooring. A cleverly designed walk-in pantry adds convenience and charm, while the 'bootility' room – with coat and shoe storage, a discreet utility cupboard, and direct garden access – is as practical as it is stylish.
Step outside and the garden wraps around like a private oasis. With a spacious outdoor dining terrace, generous lawn, and mature planting all around, it is a haven of greenery, dappled sunlight, and birdsong, ideal for both entertaining and escaping.
Upstairs, five well-proportioned bedrooms span two floors. The principal suite is a restful retreat with dual-aspect windows, newly fitted wardrobes, and a luxurious en-suite bathroom finished in marble-effect tiling, complete with a walk-in shower, his & hers sinks, and a separate bath.
Three further double bedrooms share a tastefully updated family bathroom with a classic monochrome palette and separate bath and shower. At the top of the house, the loft room currently serves as a peaceful study, bathed in natural light and offering elevated views over the garden and beyond.
