Tower Hill, Dorking, Surrey, RH4

A CHARMING VICTORIAN HOME WITH ANNEXE, DELIGHTFUL GARDENS AND PADDOCK, SET IN APPROXIMATELY 1.8 ACRES WITH FINE COUNTRYSIDE VIEWS ......

Weathertop is a superb detached family home, cleverly designed and built in the 1960s and subsequently renovated and enhanced in a most imaginative manner. The most recent improvements include a fantastic loft conversion, thoughtfully designed to take full advantage of the magnificent views towards Ranmore and the North Downs. Beautifully presented throughout, the property offers well-proportioned and exceptionally versatile accommodation arranged over three floors. A welcoming entrance hall with cloakroom provides an attractive introduction to the house, with a separate sitting room situated to one side. At the heart of the home is the superb kitchen/dining room, incorporating a recently installed kitchen beautifully appointed with an extensive range of quality units and integrated appliances, complemented by quartz work surfaces. The accommodation flows naturally through to the conservatory, where sliding doors open directly onto the terrace and gardens. The kitchen/dining room also leads through to a family room and utility room. This part of the house has the considerable advantage of its own staircase rising to the principal bedroom with en-suite shower room, sun terrace/balcony and useful eaves storage. Together, these rooms provide a particularly flexible arrangement and could lend themselves extremely well to a degree of self-contained accommodation, if desired, and subject to the usual consents. The remainder of the first floor comprises an impressive bedroom two with built-in wardrobes and an en-suite shower room, together with two further bedrooms served by a modern family bathroom. The recent loft conversion has created two additional bedrooms on the second floor and is a particularly impressive feature of the house. Both enjoy some of the finest views from the property, one benefiting from a full en-suite shower room and the other having its own WC and wash hand basin.
OUTSIDE
The established gardens are a particular feature of Weathertop and have been thoughtfully arranged to provide a variety of attractive areas for outdoor seating and entertaining. Immediately adjoining the conservatory is an extensive stone terrace, ideally positioned to enjoy the westerly aspect and impressive outlook, with the original Tower Hill tower forming a distinctive and prominent feature of the view and far-reaching views beyond towards Ranmore and the North Downs. The gardens incorporate areas of lawn, complemented by a variety of established planted and shrub borders, with several further seating areas from which to enjoy the surroundings. Tucked away in the far corner is a delightful area of woodland, providing an ideal children’s play area. To the side of the property is a greenhouse together with an adjacent detached studio/home office. To the front, an attractive gated driveway, enclosed in part by a retaining brick wall, provides ample parking and turning and leads to the detached double garage, beneath which is a useful store. In all, the grounds extend to approximately 0.25 of an acre.
