Elegant and full of charm, this 1920s 5 bedroom detached family home sits in one of Dorking’s premier residential roads.
Nestled in the historic market town of Dorking, right in the heart of the Surrey Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, it offers that rare blend of seclusion and convenience.
Set back in a quiet close just off the A24, the property is just minutes from three mainline stations, with direct services to both London (Waterloo, Victoria and London Bridge) and Gatwick, The Ashcombe School, Dorking town centre and the leisure centre, including the acclaimed Dorking Halls.
Leisure and lifestyle are all around you, with direct access to picturesque countryside walks through Denbies Wine Estate and up to the breathtaking views from Ranmore Common.
