A substantial and exceptionally spacious detached family home situated in a highly desirable quiet residential cul de sac off Rose Hill, coming to the market for the first time since 1970.

The well proportioned accommodation occupies three floors with the top floor providing a self-contained suite with a kitchen area and bathroom, which might form a flat suitable for adult children or semi-independent parent, if required. Altogether there are (depending on use) five or six bedrooms and three bathrooms (one en suite) on the upper two floors.

The ground floor also contains a family room, study, large open plan kitchen/dining room, utility room and conservatory.

The house retains original features including some open fireplaces downstairs. Benefits also include gas fired central heating via radiators, upvc replacement windows and doors, maplewood flooring in the sitting room and dining room. Solar panels generate electricity fed into the National Grid and benefitting until 2135 from the favourable pre-2012 feed-in tariffs.

Outside there is an attached double garage with further parking available either on the driveway or on the road. To the rear, the house enjoys a southerly aspect with attractive elevated views over the garden and the neighbouring St Paul's Church. There is a raised terrace with direct access from the house and ideal for entertaining, a further area of patio, and access to a large basement area ideal for storage etc.

The well-screened large mature garden faces due south and is mainly laid to lawn and flower beds with an impressive range of mature specimen plants that include shrubs, trees, perennials and seasonal flowers giving the gardens all year round colour. An additional area is devoted to a kitchen garden providing fruit and vegetables.

The house is set in the sought-after Upper Rose Hill which is a quiet cul-de-sac within five or six minutes walk of Pump Corner in the very centre of Dorking town. Dorking offers a comprehensive range of shops and leisure facilities as well as a main line station providing commuters with a rail service to London Victoria and Waterloo.

Residents of the road have private access to footpaths at the end of the road leading to the attractive Glory Woods or to the town centre.
Dorking is a popular Surrey Hills market town set in a delightful semi-rural area surrounded by open countryside including the well known beauty spots of Ranmore Common and Boxhill, both visible from the rooms at the top of the house.
