5 bed detached house for sale

Sheephouse Lane, Wotton, Dorking, Surrey RH5

Wonderful opportunity in A truly outstanding and private setting in the surrey hills ............

Tillinglea is a substantial detached home dating from around the 1970s, now requiring complete modernisation throughout, and offering a rare opportunity to create a bespoke family home of considerable style and individuality. Tillinglea occupies an elevated position towards the rear of its plot, a setting deliberately chosen to take full advantage of the wonderful outlook across the grounds and the lake, which forms a striking focal point. The accommodation is arranged over two floors and offers generous, flexible living space. The ground floor is entered via an entrance hall with cloakroom and leads to a variety of reception rooms including a principal reception room, sitting room, dining room, and a separate study. The fitted kitchen incorporates a larder and is supported by a utility room and adjoining store, while a secondary cloakroom and porch add further practicality. On the first floor, a central library or study area provides additional versatile space. The main bedroom suite includes a dressing room and en-suite bathroom, with access to a balcony enjoying views over the grounds and lake. There is also a guest bedroom with en-suite bathroom, three further bedrooms (one with balcony access), a family bathroom, and a separate workroom. While currently very much of its era, the scale, proportions, and setting of the property provide an excellent framework for comprehensive refurbishment and re-imagining, subject to the usual consents. Outside, the grounds are a defining feature enjoying an excellent degree of privacy and seclusion, extending in all to about 3.8 acres and the property is well-positioned enjoying a southerly and south-westerly orientation. There are numerous established shrubs and trees with the lake forming a natural centrepiece. There is a long driveway, culminating in extensive parking and turning in front of the house, whilst also leading to the attached double garage, completing a property of exceptional potential in a truly special setting.
