House For Sale £795,000
A charming detached three bedroom family home offering over 1,600 sq ft of extremely flexible, bright, spacious accommodation, a delightful garden and the added bonus to potentially section off a floor to offer independent living. Situated within a peaceful, elevated position enjoying picturesque views across Betchworth Golf Club and the River Mole, along the highly sought after private road 'Castle Gardens', just on the outskirts of Dorking town centre.
As soon as you step through the front door into the entrance hall you are met with the warm welcoming feel that this wonderful home offers. There is no surprise that this has been a much-loved home for the past 20 years. From the hallway, the ground floor accommodation flows beautifully which is ideal for modern day family living. The extensive 29'8 x 19'9 ft triple aspect living/dining room offers plenty of space for a large three piece suite, dining table and chairs, further benefitting from a charming open fireplace creating a warm, cosy ambience. This is a lovely bright space thanks to the large windows allowing plenty of natural light to flood in, further enjoying pretty views across Betchworth Golf Course and French doors opening out onto the patio, where views of the River Mole can be captured. In addition, there is a useful porch to the side of the property providing space for shoes and coats before entering through into the living room. An internal hallway provides access to the rest of the ground floor accommodation including the family bathroom which has been fitted with a white suite and walk-in bath. Flowing through into the kitchen which is a very spacious 19'1 x 14'1 ft, fitted with an array of floor to ceiling units complemented by ample worktop space, room for all the expected appliances, a useful pantry and back door opening into the garden. With some updating, this could be transformed into a wonderful open plan kitchen/dining room, again enjoying delightful views across the River Mole. Next is the master bedroom which as you can see from the floorplan is another excellent sized room with built in wardrobes and it's own private en suite shower room. Finishing off the ground floor is the second bedroom which is generous double with built in storage.
From the hallway, stairs rise up to the studio apartment/bedroom 3 and also provides access into the eaves storage. The current owner has cleverly designed this floor to offer a studio with a kitchenette and en suite shower room, offering the ideal space for a teenager or perhaps a relative to have their own floor, if desired. This could alternatively be used as the third bedroom with en suite.
Please note that the current owner rents the studio apartment out for £750 per calendar month.
Outside
The property is approached via a gravel driveway providing parking for a number of cars in front of the detached garage with up and over door. The pretty front picket fence enclosed garden is mainly laid to lawn with a pathway leading to the front door, boarded by beds bursting with colour.
The unique back garden is yet another striking feature to this property which has been arranged across a number of tiers with an alluring warren of pathways winding down to the River Mole where there are fishing rights permitted. At the top of the garden there is a full width patio providing the ideal space for al fresco dining or entertaining in the warmer months before stepping down to the lower terrace, providing the perfect spot to enjoy the river views. Over a number of years, the current owner has created a serene and secluded space with an array of trees, mature shrubs and beautifully stocked flower beds.
Location
