Full Details for 3 Bedroom Detached for sale in Dorking, RH5 :
A charming period cottage, dating from 1697, with later complimentary additions located on the edge of Walliswood, a quintessential hamlet on the southern side of the Surrey Hills, an area of outstanding natural beauty, with the summit of Leith Hill two miles distant and the highly regarded Gatton Manor golf club just 500m along the lane.
The cottage has attractive weatherboard and tiled elevations and is located in approx 0.9 acres of well tended private garden, laid predominately to lawn, with small areas of rockery and shrubbery. Patio and paved seating areas abound, with a rose covered pergola and covered brick built barbecue area complete with gas grill.
The property is accessed by an in and out surfaced driveway leading to a two bay oak barn garage, with comfortable accommodation over, and a well fitted adjacent workshop. The outbuildings are completed with an exceptional home office/studio with telephone, broadband and TV, enjoying a lovely view over the garden and the hills beyond.
The cottage offers versatile accommodation over two floors with an entrance porch, leading to outer and inner halls with cloakroom off, also accessing a country style fitted kitchen, a conservatory with roof blinds and double doors to a raised patio area. The cosy dining room with oak beams has a small inglenook with wood burning boiler stove efficiently providing both heating and hot water in the winter months. Through this room is direct access into a beautiful lounge and study, again with beams, inglenook and LPG stove, there are French doors accessing a further patio area.
On the first floor is a master bedroom with en-suite shower room, two further bedrooms and a family bathroom. Much thought has been given to maximising storage space throughout the property.
Approximately 0.2 acre of garden, complete with existing access has been left naturally to blend with the adjacent wood, but with an intention to create a building plot subject to the authority consent (plans of the proposed dwelling are available).
