About
This delightful four-bedroom Victorian semi-detached house offers flexible accommodation arranged over three floors, including a versatile basement room.
Full of charm and period character, the property features sash windows and original fireplaces, while offering plenty of potential for extension and modernisation (STPP).
Conveniently located close to Dorking town centre and offered with no onward chain, this is an ideal home for buyers seeking space and opportunity.
Measuring just over 1215 sq ft, the property begins with a bright, front-aspect sitting room filled with natural light.
The adjoining dining room enjoys garden views through sash windows creating a welcoming space for family meals or entertaining guests.
The kitchen, accessed directly from the dining room, is currently a galley-style layout with cabinets and space for freestanding appliances.
With the potential to extend (STPP), this space could be transformed into a stunning open-plan kitchen/dining area.
Completing the ground floor is a family bathroom, offering a bath with handheld shower, three-piece suite and linen cupboard, offering a great opportunity for modernisation.
A staircase from the hallway leads down to the basement, providing an excellent bonus space that could serve as a home office, gym, or playroom with some refurbishment.
On the first floor, a pretty arched stained-glass window brings light to the landing.
There are two spacious double bedrooms both with original period fireplaces, as well as two single bedrooms, providing plenty of space for a growing family.
Outside To the front, there is off-street parking for one car and a pathway leading to the rear garden.
The West facing rear garden offers a blank canvas with a lawn, patio, and rear access to Vincent Gardens. A garden shed provides useful storage.
Parking Howard Road benefits from resident parking permits via Mole Valley Council (£50 per year for the first car and £75 for the second - full details available on the council website).
Utilities The property falls under Council Tax Band D. The property is serviced by mains sewerage, water, gas and electricity.
Location Perfectly positioned in Dorking, the property is within easy reach of shops, restaurants, schools, and recreational facilities.
Commuters benefit from three nearby railway stations - Dorking Main (services to Victoria and Waterloo in approx. 50 mins), Deepdene (Gatwick to Reading), and Dorking West.
