A stunning Victorian six-bedroom house with plenty of period character and charm, enjoying a stunning veranda, good garden and garaging found in the heart of the Surrey Hills.
Description
Brooklands is a handsome and substantial Victorian semi-detached home occupying an elevated position and enjoying far-reaching views across the surrounding Surrey Hills countryside.
Rich in period character yet thoughtfully adapted for modern family living, the property extends to over 4,300 sq ft including a detached garage and offers beautifully proportioned accommodation arranged over three floors.
The striking façade immediately sets the tone, with decorative timber detailing, tall chimney stacks and an attractive veranda creating an impressive first impression.
Internally, the house retains an abundance of original features including high ceilings, ornate cornicing, elegant fireplaces, sash-style windows and beautifully mellow floorboards, all complemented by stylish contemporary décor.
A welcoming reception hall provides access to the principal reception rooms. The characterful drawing room is a wonderfully light space, centred around a feature marble fireplace and bay window, while the dining room offers a superb setting for formal entertaining, with rich atmospheric décor, intricate period detailing and views over the garden.
A separate TV room/snug provides a cosy everyday retreat, with French doors opening directly onto the terrace and gardens beyond.
To the rear of the house, the generous kitchen/breakfast room forms the heart of the home. Extending to almost 29 ft in length, this generous family space combines extensive cabinetry, integrated appliances and ample room for informal dining, with doors opening out to the garden, creating an effortless connection between inside and out.
The bedroom accommodation is arranged over the first and second floors and comprises six bedrooms and three bathrooms.
The first floor features an impressive principal bedroom with a bay window and attractive views, together with a Jack and Jill bathroom. Bedroom two is a generous double room with it's own an en suite shower room, while bedroom three completes the floor.
The second floor provides three further bedrooms and a family bathroom, with bedroom four offering particularly generous proportions and excellent flexibility.
Brooklands sits within mature and beautifully established grounds, with the gardens wrapping around the house.
Expanses of lawn are interspersed with well-stocked borders, specimen trees and areas for outdoor entertaining, while the elevated setting takes full advantage of the spectacular outlook across the surrounding Surrey Hills landscape.
A detached garage and driveway parking provide practical convenience, completing this exceptional family home.
Location
Brooklands occupies a desirable position on the southern side of Dorking, close to the foot of the Surrey Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
The town centre is within easy reach and offers an excellent range of independent shops, cafés, restaurants and everyday amenities, together with larger retailers, supermarkets and leisure facilities.
The nearby villages of Westcott and Abinger Hammer further enhance the area's appeal, providing a quintessential Surrey lifestyle surrounded by beautiful countryside.
Dorking is particularly well placed for commuters, with Dorking Main, Dorking Deepdene and Dorking West stations offering services to London Victoria, London Waterloo and London Bridge. The A24 provides convenient road access to Guildford, Horsham, the M25 and wider motorway network, while Gatwick Airport lies approximately 11 miles to the south.
The area is highly regarded for its excellent educational provision. There are a number of well-regarded state and independent schools nearby including The Ashcombe School, St Martin's CofE Primary School, Powell Corderoy Primary School, Belmont School, Box Hill School and Cranmore, with further renowned schools available in Guildford and Reigate.
The surrounding Surrey Hills provide exceptional opportunities for outdoor recreation. Box Hill, Leith Hill and Ranmore Common offer miles of scenic walking, cycling and riding routes, while Denbies Wine Estate, National Trust countryside and numerous golf courses, including Dorking Golf Club and Tyrrells Wood Golf Club, are all close by.
The area is also popular for trail running, mountain biking and equestrian pursuits, making it an outstanding location for those who enjoy an active outdoor lifestyle.
