Mill Road, Holmwood, Dorking, Surrey RH5

Outstanding and substantial victorian wing with beautiful grounds of about an acre and surrounded by national trust land.......

North Mill House, dating we believe from the early 1870s, with later additions, is a substantial wing, forming part of a magnificent Victorian manor house, which was once the country residence for the Nestle family and also the Spanish Ambassador. The property displays many fine period features and characteristics that one would associate with this much celebrated period of architecture, including high ceilings, sash windows, some original doors, oak panelling and a wonderful fireplace in the study. The ground floor accommodation consists of an entrance porch, open plan kitchen/dining room of superb proportions and ideal for a larger family for entertaining, with dual patio doors flowing out to the substantial sun terrace. There is an impressive sitting room with floor to ceiling windows encased with wooden shutters, together with a delightful snug, study, utility room and cloakroom. To the first floor the main bedroom boasts a lovely outlook over the gardens, whilst the guest bedroom has en-suite facilities and there are two further bedrooms served by the family bathroom and wet room. Outside the gardens are a prime feature of North Mill House, comprising beautifully kept lawns, including a Victorian water garden with topiary, a small orchard and a heated outdoor swimming pool with pool house. There is another substantial sun terrace making for a wonderful seating or entertaining area, whilst the gardens enjoy an excellent level of privacy and seclusion, by virtue of the established herbaceous borders and rhododendrons. There is a double detached garage with a remote controlled electric roller door and parking in front. In all, the grounds extend to approximately one acre.
