5 bed detached house for sale

Deepdene Drive, Dorking RH5

On one of Dorking’s most beautiful and peaceful residential roads, this remarkable double-fronted detached home sits gracefully on a generous corner plot, cocooned in a verdant setting of mature planting and apple trees. With a sweeping west-facing front garden, thoughtfully designed vegetable plots and a charming greenhouse, the plot exudes a sense of calm and country elegance rarely found in such a well-connected location.

The house itself is a triumph of thoughtful design and timeless style. From the moment you step into the generous entrance hall, framed by original stained glass and rich parquet flooring underfoot, there is a palpable sense of warmth and welcome. Throughout the home, calming paint tones complement the abundant natural light, creating a soft, elegant backdrop to modern family living. A beautifully designed downstairs W/C sets the tone for the details to come.

The dual-aspect family room is bathed in sunlight and centred around a character fireplace, a perfect spot for quiet evenings or lively gatherings. The main reception room, equally striking, features treated original parquet flooring and a statement fireplace. Here, double doors lead to a bespoke home office – crafted with built-in cabinetry and shelving – and then on to the sun-drenched rear garden and patio beyond.

On the other side of the ground floor, the heart of the home unfolds: A large open plan kitchen breakfast room with an expansive central island, a serene shaker-style kitchen in neutral tones, and striking herringbone flooring. A cleverly designed walk-in pantry adds convenience and charm, while the 'bootility' room – with coat and shoe storage, a discreet utility cupboard, and direct garden access – is as practical as it is stylish.

Step outside and the garden wraps around like a private oasis. With a spacious outdoor dining terrace, generous lawn, and mature planting all around, it is a haven of greenery, dappled sunlight, and birdsong, ideal for both entertaining and escaping.

Upstairs, five well-proportioned bedrooms span two floors. The principal suite is a restful retreat with dual-aspect windows, newly fitted wardrobes, and a luxurious en-suite bathroom finished in marble-effect tiling, complete with a walk-in shower, his & hers sinks, and a separate bath.

Three further double bedrooms share a tastefully updated family bathroom with a classic monochrome palette and separate bath and shower. At the top of the house, the loft room currently serves as a peaceful study, bathed in natural light and offering elevated views over the garden and beyond.

The home’s setting is as appealing as its interiors. Situated on a quiet, family-friendly road, the property enjoys both tranquillity and proximity. Highly regarded local schools – both state and independent – are nearby, making it an ideal setting for family life.

Commuters will appreciate easy access to Dorking’s mainline stations, offering swift connections to London Victoria and Waterloo, while the nearby A24 and M25 provide convenient routes to the wider Surrey countryside and beyond. For those drawn to nature, the property is perfectly placed for weekend rambles and National Trust walks, including the iconic Box Hill and Denbies Wine Estate, all just a stones throw away.

And when it comes to everyday living, Dorking’s historic market town offers a perfect blend of old and new. Explore the charming high street, where centuries-old architecture meets independent boutiques, antique shops, and contemporary cafés. The old quarter brims with character, while modern amenities, from supermarkets to gyms and artisan bakeries, ensure convenience without compromise.
