About
An elegantly proportioned mews cottage forming part of an exclusive retirement development for the over-55s, thoughtfully converted from attractive period farm buildings in the 1980s.
Ideally situated within the highly regarded Sondes Farm development, the property enjoys a particularly desirable position just half a mile from Dorking town centre, offering an excellent selection of shops, cafés, restaurants and everyday amenities.
The cottage benefits from a delightful setting overlooking beautifully maintained communal gardens, with the added advantage of a private patio terrace accessed directly from the charming drawing room via casement doors.
The bright and well-proportioned accommodation comprises an entrance hall, a spacious dual-purpose living and dining room, a fitted kitchen, a ground-floor bedroom with built-in storage and a shower/wet room with wheelchair access.
To the first floor are two further bedrooms, one of which has built in storage and an additional bathroom.
Residents of Sondes Farm enjoy the reassurance of an on-site manager (Monday to Friday, 9:00am–5:00pm), together with access to a guest suite available for overnight visitors (subject to a modest charge and availability).
Externally, the development is set within superbly maintained communal grounds and the property further benefits from a carport, an allocated parking space and additional visitor parking.
A rare opportunity to acquire a charming cottage within this sought-after retirement community, combining character, comfort and convenience in an enviable Dorking location.
