3 bed semi-detached house for sale

Ranmore Common, Dorking, Surrey RH5

Stunning quintessentially English cottage and gardens, in a rural location, beautifully extended and refurbished by the current owners.

Offering an abundance of character features throughout, this stunning three-bedroom, semi-detached cottage is located on Ranmore Common in the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty of the Surrey Hills. Approached via a slightly bumpy but pretty lane, gates open to a gravelled driveway with parking for several cars and plenty of potential for an oak-framed car barn (subject to the usual investigations). There is a front lawn with a path and side patio, which wraps around to the side and rear gardens.

The gardens are a particular feature as they have been beautifully landscaped to provide for a storage shed, a stunning greenhouse, a picket fence enclosed, raised vegetable garden, a chicken run, good sized lawn, mature beds and borders, bordering fields to the side and rear.

The attractive flint and tiled cottage has a covered porch area and a solid wood, latched door which opens into a small but perfectly formed hall and staircase with wood flooring. A part-glazed door opens to the kitchen / breakfast room, with a cosy sitting room to the front, with sold timber flooring and a decorative, feature fireplace and log-burner. The kitchen / breakfast area has been beautifully designed, with a range of integrated appliances, an illuminated spice and herb larder cupboard, a breakfast bar and an electric aga oven and hob. There is also space for a small dining table within the original kitchen / breakfast area.

The property has been sympathetically extended with the addition of an oak-framed orangery, with full height windows and double doors leading out the patio and gardens, which creates a fabulous dining / living area. Just off this open-plan space is a lovely utility / boot room, with a another door leading out to the patio and a downstairs cloak /shower room.

The stairs from the entrance hall turn to the landing on the first floor with two windows allowing the light in and decorative panelling either side. The main bedroom has a feature fireplace and there are two further bedrooms, albeit one is currently fitted out as a dressing room. The family bathroom is exquisite and has a window overlooking the side gardens and even a tiny window, next to the bath, which overlooks the rear gardens.

If you are looking for charm, character, peace, and tranquillity, it doesn’t come much better than this.
