About
A three-bedroom, two-reception room, semi-detached home, lovingly cared for by the same family for the past 50 years and now offering an exciting opportunity for a new owner to modernise and extend (STPP) to create a home to their own taste.
Rich in local history, the property was once home to Charles Boxall, butler to the Denbies Estate.
Set within a particularly generous plot in an enviable semi-rural position on Ranmore Common, the property enjoys a wonderfully peaceful setting surrounded by open countryside, with miles of National Trust land quite literally on the doorstep.
*first opportunity to view - Saturday 3rd October - by appointment only* A three-bedroom, two-reception room, semi-detached home, lovingly cared for by the same family for the past 50 years and now offering an exciting opportunity for a new owner to modernise and extend (STPP) to create a home to their own taste.
Rich in local history, the property was once home to Charles Boxall, butler to the Denbies Estate.
Set within a particularly generous plot in an enviable semi-rural position on Ranmore Common, the property enjoys a wonderfully peaceful setting surrounded by open countryside, with miles of National Trust land quite literally on the doorstep.
*no onward chain* The accommodation begins in the entrance hall, which leads through to the dining room and adjoining kitchen.
The kitchen is fitted with a range of wall and base units and enjoys lovely views across the garden and surrounding greenery.
Together, these two spaces offer excellent potential to be reconfigured to create a generous open-plan kitchen/dining room, subject to any necessary consents.
The main living room is a well-proportioned and comfortable space, with wide sliding doors opening directly onto the garden and bringing in plenty of natural light.
A second reception room provides further versatile accommodation and is currently arranged as a home office, although it could equally make an excellent snug, family room or playroom.
A useful W/C completes the ground floor. A distinctive spiral staircase rises to the first floor, where there are three bedrooms and the family bathroom.
The principal bedroom is particularly appealing, with ample room for additional furniture and its own private balcony.
Looking out across the gardens, neighbouring fields and surrounding countryside, the balcony perfectly showcases the peaceful and picturesque nature of the setting.
Two further bedrooms provide flexible accommodation for family, guests or home working. Outside is where this property really comes into its own.
The house sits within a substantial plot, with established gardens wrapping around the property and creating an unusually private and green outlook from the majority of rooms.
There is ample space for keen gardeners as well as significant scope to rethink the outside areas, while the size and arrangement of the plot may also offer potential to extend the existing accommodation, subject to the usual planning permissions.
A generous driveway provides off-road parking, while the elevated position and open surroundings give the property a genuine sense of space and separation.
The wonderful outlook across neighbouring fields and mature woodland reinforces the feeling of being immersed in the Surrey countryside.
The property is connected to mains water and electricity, with drainage via a septic tank. Broadband is also connected. The location is undoubtedly one of the home's greatest attractions.
Set within sought-after Ranmore Common, the property enjoys an idyllic semi-rural environment while remaining within convenient reach of Dorking and its excellent selection of shops, cafés, schools, leisure facilities and mainline railway stations.
The surrounding National Trust countryside provides an extensive network of footpaths, bridleways and cycling routes, making this an exceptional location for walking, cycling and enjoying the outdoors.
