This beautifully presented four bedroom detached Victorian residence, dating back to the 1850s, effortlessly blends period character with versatile family living. Rich in charm and retaining many original features, this distinguished home offers generous proportions, high ceilings and working fireplaces throughout a rare opportunity to acquire a home of such warmth and heritage.
From the moment you step inside, the sense of space and light is unmistakable. The generous living room is bathed in natural light and centres around a working feature fireplace, creating a welcoming and elegant setting for both relaxing evenings and entertaining guests.
A second reception room provides superb flexibility and is currently arranged as a study, though it would equally suit a playroom, snug or additional sitting room, ideal for modern family life. The spacious dining area comfortably accommodates a larger table and flows seamlessly into the charming farmhouse style kitchen, offering ample work surfaces and cabinets. A separate utility room, downstairs WC and practical boot room complete the ground floor accommodation.
To the first floor there is a principal bedroom which is a generous double with a delightful dual-aspect outlook and access to its own ensuite shower room. Three further double bedrooms provide excellent proportions with ample space for wardrobes and bedside furniture. The recently refitted family shower room is finished in a tasteful neutral palette, creating a calm and contemporary feel.
The home retains much of its original character, including high ceilings and working fireplaces, while still offering exciting potential for further expansion (subject to the necessary permissions), allowing future owners to tailor the property to their needs.
Outside
The rear garden is truly a standout feature, a private and mature haven that will delight keen gardeners and families alike. A substantial patio terrace overlooks a charming pond, home to an assortment of fish and even turtles. Mature hedging frames the boundaries, ensuring privacy and seclusion, while the established planting means the garden is both picturesque and surprisingly low maintenance.
Situation
The larger centres of Dorking, Horsham and Reigate are easily accessible and offer a range of major high street stores including Waitrose and Marks & Spencers. The area is surrounded by open countryside offering an abundance of opportunities for walking and riding. The M25 and M23 can accessed easily providing direct routes to London or the coast. A selection of schools in both the private and state sector can be found in the area, including Cranleigh, Farlington as well as Christ's Hospital and Box Hill. Ockley train station, which is moments away, provides connections into London Bridge and Victoria in approximately 90 minutes.
