Description

This three-bedroom semi-detached home spans over 895 sq ft and is situated in the sought-after area of Dorking town centre. With a tiered rear garden and an ideal location, this property represents a compelling opportunity for renovation and investment. Upon entering, you'll find a small welcoming hallway that leads to the main living areas. The front sitting room features a sizeable bay window that invites natural light, complemented by an attractive fireplace—an inviting space for relaxation. The central dining room connects seamlessly to the kitchen and utility area, providing picturesque views of the garden. This layout offers great potential for modernisation; with thoughtful renovations, this space could be transformed into an open-plan kitchen/dining area, ideal for contemporary family living. The upstairs landing grants access to all three bedrooms and the loft. The generously-sized main bedroom at the front includes built-in storage, while the second bedroom also offers ample space as another double. The third bedroom serves well as a single room or home office. The family bathroom comes equipped with established fittings but holds significant potential for updates to suit personal preferences. Additionally, similar properties on Vincent Lane have successfully extended into the loft space, providing further possibilities to create a large principal suite with an ensuite. The outdoor space is equally appealing; a front garden framed by a low wall leads up to the entrance, while the rear garden presents a mix of patio and tiered lawns bordered by mature trees—offering privacy and tranquillity. Side access adds to its practicality. Location-wise, this property thrives in Dorking's vibrant heart where residents can enjoy easy access to various shopping options, recreational facilities, and local schools—all within walking distance. Both Dorking mainline and Deepdene train stations are just a 15-minute stroll away, ensuring swift connections into London Victoria and Waterloo within approximately 50 minutes. For motorists, the M25 is conveniently reachable via several routes leading north. Dorking is not only known for its urban conveniences but also boasts outstanding countryside nearby—including 'The Nower,' Ranmore Common, and Box Hill—making it an attractive choice for outdoor enthusiasts. Furthermore, top-tier educational institutions such as The Ashcombe School and local primary schools are within close reach. With its strong renovation potential and prime location alongside desirable lifestyle amenities, this property presents an excellent opportunity for both investors and those looking to create their ideal family home in Dorking.
