4 bed semi-detached house for sale

Swissland Hill, Dormans Park RH19

Set within the highly regarded and private Dormans Park estate, this individual detached residence offers a rare opportunity to acquire a charming character home with a self-contained annexe, all set within beautifully landscaped and secluded grounds of approximately one-third of an acre. Dating back to the late 19th century, the original house showcases the architectural elegance of the Victorian era, with high ceilings, stained glass leaded light windows, and open fireplaces. Subsequent sympathetic extensions in the 1930s and 1970s have introduced a balance of period charm and light-filled modern spaces, making this a versatile and inviting family home. Lovingly owned and maintained by the same family for over 30 years, the property has evolved to provide flexible living accommodation, ideal for multigenerational living, entertaining, and working from home. In recent years, a discreetly positioned self-contained one-bedroom annexe has been created with its own private entrance—perfect for guests, relatives or potential income use.

A welcoming Victorian entrance lobby with original tiled flooring and stained-glass panels leads to the main hallway, featuring Amtico flooring and a spiral staircase to the basement. From here, the flow of the ground floor draws you into the heart of the home. The kitchen/breakfast room features hand-painted cabinetry, a Britannia six-burner gas range with electric oven, integrated appliances including dishwasher and fridge, and original leaded light windows. Under-unit lighting and a 1½ bowl sink with waste disposal complete this stylish and functional space. The drawing room exudes classic comfort, with a coal-effect gas fire in an ornate surround, and more original stained glass detailing. The dining room and adjoining living area offer a contemporary contrast—Karndean flooring, full-height Origin sliding doors, and large windows framing garden views, with a Jøtul wood burner adding a cosy focal point. Also on the ground floor is a cloakroom, a rear utility lobby with butler sink and garden access, and a spacious basement area with three rooms—currently used for storage but previously partially converted and offering further potential (subject to finishing). Upstairs, the principal bedroom enjoys custom-fitted wardrobes and a desk area, along with ladder access to a fully boarded loft room fitted with two Velux windows—ideal as a study, playroom or creative space. The adjoining shower room/dressing area includes twin basins, WC, glazed shower enclosure and further built-in wardrobes. There are three further bedrooms, each offering garden views and fitted storage. The family bathroom features Amtico flooring, walk-in shower, separate bath, and more hand-painted vanity units—all lit by a characterful leaded light window.

The house is set behind a striking brick-pillared entrance with wrought iron gate, leading to an attractive resin-bonded driveway with electric vehicle charging point. To the side, a private walled courtyard offers a tranquil space with a carved stone water feature, ornamental pond, waterfall, and ambient fibre optic lighting—a perfect spot for evening entertaining. A sun terrace with wrought iron balustrading opens out from the main living areas, with steps leading down to a well-screened lawn, mature planting, and woodland views beyond. Tucked away within the grounds is a secret garden and play area, along with a large garden store for tools and outdoor equipment. A single garage is accessed via a side lane and is equipped with an electric door, power, and lighting.
