Description

This substantial detached family home spans 1,818 sq ft and features four bedrooms, presenting a promising opportunity for renovation and investment in a desirable neighborhood. Located on the sought-after Ridgeway Road, this property offers ample space and functionality while remaining within easy reach of Dorking’s town center, reputable schools, and scenic countryside. The entrance opens into a generous hallway with built-in storage, setting a practical tone for the home. The living room is bright and inviting, characterized by a bay window and nearly full-height windows that enhance the natural light within. A gas fireplace serves as a focal point in this spacious area. Adjacent to the living room is a formal dining room which can be seamlessly connected or separated from the living area via French doors. This room benefits from a sunny south-westerly aspect, offering wall-to-wall windows that overlook the garden and direct access to an outdoor patio—ideal for entertaining or casual meals during warmer months. The kitchen runs along the rear of the house with traditional cabinetry, large windows overlooking the garden, and a cozy seating area for informal dining. A separate utility room adds practicality with laundry appliances and additional storage options. On the upper level, there are four well-proportioned bedrooms. The main bedroom features built-in storage along with an ensuite shower room while bedroom two also provides ample space with sliding wardrobes. A third bedroom serves as a comfortable single, while bedroom four has been adapted as a home office—perfect for those working remotely. The family bathroom includes existing facilities that could benefit from modernization but currently features a jacuzzi bath and vanity unit. Externally, the property boasts extensive driveway parking suitable for multiple vehicles, leading around to the side of the house. The rear garden has been thoughtfully hard-landscaped for low maintenance yet provides an appealing mix of patio space, lawn areas, and mature planting that offers privacy. Situated just outside Dorking's bustling town center, residents enjoy convenient access to various shopping options including a flagship Waitrose store and recreational amenities such as sports centers and cultural venues like Dorking Hall. Commuters will appreciate proximity to three railway stations providing direct services to London in approximately 55 minutes alongside easy access to major roadways such as the M25. With its blend of space, location advantages, and potential for modernisation, this property represents an excellent opportunity for buyers looking to invest in creating their ideal family home or enhancing rental potential in this attractive area.
