6 bed detached house for sale

Mill Bottom, Holmwood, Dorking, Surrey RH5

An impressive Edwardian home offering well appointed accommodation with innumerable period features adjoining hundreds of acres of National Trust common land.

The front rooms of the house retain their traditional layout and at its centre is a long entrance hall leading to a spacious dining room, study and drawing room with Oak panelling and superb feature fireplace. The heart of the home is arguably the kitchen/breakfast room which has ample storage space and there is a boot room, utility room pantry and further store cupboards. The kitchen connects to a vast orangery/garden room with a glass pitch roof and double doors opening onto the garden.

On the first floor there is a master bedroom with en suite bathroom, which is flooded with light from leaded light windows and east facing balcony offering wonderful views over the swimming pool and lake beyond. There are five further bedrooms, two bathrooms and a separate shower room.

The grounds extending to approximately 4.3 acres have been lovingly developed and tendered and offer plenty of interest throughout the year, with dense beds and borders of perennial plants which spring to life in April and May and bursts of colour through to Autumn. A greenhouse offers opportunities for self-sufficient growing, and a large lake attracts a vast array of local wildlife. The beautiful grounds are home to a swimming pool, tennis court as well as trails that wind through woodland and around the lake. At the front of the house, a block paved driveway offers an excellent provision of private, off-street parking leading to garaging and workshop. The garden has been opened to the public under the National Garden scheme for a number of years and has featured in many garden magazines and has raised over £150,000 for charity.
