NO ONWARD CHAIN - An exceptional opportunity awaits to acquire this spacious and characterful four-bedroom Georgian residence, beautifully spread across four floors. Brimming with an array of charming period features, this elegant home also benefits from a self-contained annex, a delightful garden and ample driveway parking with detached garages. Perfectly positioned on Falkland Road, it is just a short stroll from Dorking town centre, offering easy access to excellent schools, mainline train stations and leisure facilities.

Lovingly maintained as a cherished family home for over 35 years, the property now presents an exciting opportunity for its new owners to restore and modernise the space to their taste, with the added potential to extend (subject to planning permission).

Upon entering, the welcoming hallway makes an immediate impression with its grand proportions, featuring sweeping staircases that lead to both the upper and lower floors. The high ceilings and ornate details, characteristic of the Georgian era, add to the home's grandeur. The open plan sitting and living room is a highlight, boasting original sash windows complete with wooden shutters and elegant decorative fireplaces. This spacious dual-purpose room offers a warm and inviting atmosphere, perfect for family gatherings or entertaining guests. Its picturesque views of the rear garden further enhance its appeal. At the rear of the property, the kitchen overlooks the garden and provides direct access via a charming spiral staircase. While currently fitted with traditional units and a practical worktop layout, it offers vast potential for modernisation and expansion. With ample space for a dining table and chairs, it can be transformed into a contemporary, family-friendly kitchen. Ascending the staircase, you will find a generously sized family bathroom, fitted with a bathtub, WC and sink. This space offers excellent potential for a modern makeover, with room to incorporate a luxurious shower cubicle if desired.

A short flight of stairs leads to two large double bedrooms, connected by an internal doorway. This layout presents an ideal opportunity to create a luxurious principal suite with an ensuite bathroom. Both rooms retain beautiful period details, adding to their timeless charm. The top floor comprises two further bedrooms, each offering unique appeal. One bedroom showcases an ornate fireplace and delightful views over Dorking towards the Church spire, while the other benefits from ample eaves storage, making it an ideal guest room or study.
