Deepdene Wood, Dorking, Surrey, RH5

AN EXCEPTIONAL PRIVATE ELEVATED LOCATION IN ONE OF DORKING’S FINEST AREAS ......... Whimples is a most attractive family home built, we are advised, in the 1930s with a great sense of style and character, in arguably one of Dorking’s premier locations. The current owners have lived there for almost 40 years. The accommodation is bright, spacious and well-planned, with all of the rooms enjoying lovely views over the property’s secluded and mature grounds and from the first floor some of the rooms have delightful views towards the North Downs. The accommodation briefly comprises an entrance hall with cloakroom, two principal reception rooms, which are both good proportions and open directly to the garden room, where one can enjoy a delightful view over the property’s private grounds. The triple aspect kitchen/breakfast room has a range of fitted kitchen furniture incorporating appliances and there is a useful utility room. To the first floor the main bedroom has an en-suite bathroom and the current owners have converted what was previously an adjacent bedroom, into a dressing room with walk-in wardrobe. If desired, without too much aggravation this could be converted back into a fifth bedroom. There are three further bedrooms served by a family bathroom. Outside the gardens are a prime feature of Whimples, extending in all, to about ¼ of an acre. The rear garden enjoys a westerly aspect with a large patio and ornamental pond leading off the rear of the house, which makes for a very comfortable place to enjoy the setting and outlook. Seclusion is provided by established trees and hedges including rhododendrons and azaleas together with well-stocked flower and shrub borders. There is an attractive front garden with a driveway providing parking and leading to the twin garaging.
