One of dorking's finest locations .............

Occupying an exceptional and highly sought-after position at the very end of Deepdene Wood, Deepdene End is a distinguished and charming 1920’s family residence that has been comprehensively modernised, extended and thoughtfully renovated by the current owners over the years, creating an exceptional blend of period character and contemporary living. Approached via its wonderfully secluded setting, yet remarkably still within walking distance of Dorking town, Deepdene End enjoys outstanding privacy together with far-reaching easterly and southerly views, with the South Downs visible on clear days. The house has been carefully reconfigured and enhanced to provide beautifully flowing accommodation ideally suited to modern family life and entertaining. A welcoming galleried reception hall leads to the elegant reception rooms, including a study, sitting room and family room, which are both centred around fireplaces with wood-burning stoves and featuring French doors opening directly onto the gardens, allowing for effortless indoor-outdoor living. At the heart of the home is an impressive and beautifully fitted kitchen/dining room, designed as a sociable and light-filled living space. A cleverly designed extension has created a superb garden room which seamlessly links the main house with the studio accommodation, now successfully incorporated into the overall layout and greatly enhancing the overall accommodation while retaining flexibility for guests, home working or creative use. The space continues to benefit from independent facilities and is complemented by a galleried landing leading to a generous room above the garage that could be used as games room, office or a variety of other purposes. Completing the ground floor adjacent to the kitchen is a generously proportioned utility room with separate cloakroom with a trap door giving access to a wine cellar. To the first floor the principal suite enjoys elevated views, an excellent dressing room and a stylishly updated en-suite, there is a guest bedroom with modern en-suite and three further bedrooms served by a luxurious family bathroom - all reflecting the extensive programme of modernisation undertaken by the current owners. Many of the rooms throughout the house capture the surrounding landscape, reinforcing the property’s exceptional setting.

The grounds are a defining feature of Deepdene End having been beautifully landscaped with established shrub borders with a variety of specimen trees to provide privacy, maturity and year-round enjoyment. To the south lies a heated outdoor swimming pool accompanied by pool house incorporating a sauna and dedicated plant room. There is a driveway to the front providing parking and leading to the double integral garage. In all, the grounds extend to approximately an acre. Deepdene End represents a rare opportunity to acquire a substantially upgraded and extended period home in one of Dorking’s most prestigious and secluded residential locations.
