House For Sale £375,000
Archway Place, Dorking, Surrey RH4

This charming Victorian two bedroom period cottage has a convenient town centre location within easy reach of the shops and stations. Tucked away, this terraced property is set in a delightful pedestrianised lane of Victorian properties with accommodation over two floors with cellar offering scope for further development. The property is somewhat dated internally but has been well maintained, with fabulous potential to personalise to the incoming purchasers’ tastes.

The traditional layout enters directly onto the sitting room with brick fireplace, leading to a separate dining room also with fireplace, to the kitchen at the rear. Here there is also a small cloakroom with w.c. Separating the sitting and dining rooms is the staircase to the first floor, where there are two double bedrooms and a family bathroom. There is also a concealed staircase accessed from the dining room leading down to a spacious basement, which is ideal for conversion or providing convenient storage.

Outside

The front of the property is accessed via a narrow pedestrian lane, with a small front garden separated from the lane by a brick wall. There is a private gated parking area to the rear accessible from the St Martin’s Walk car park, which also provides additional (paid) parking for visitors. The rear garden is accessed from the kitchen or via a gate from the parking area and is laid to low maintenance mixed paving and enclosed by high mature hedging.
