About this property

A beautifully presented two-bedroom apartment forming part of the magnificent Sondes Place mansion. Offering high ceilings, a private west-facing terrace, contemporary interiors and access to landscaped communal grounds, this impressive home combines period grandeur with modern living just moments from Dorking town centre.

Occupying part of the magnificent Sondes Place mansion, originally built by Thomas Cubitt, this elegant ground floor apartment combines the scale and character of a historic country house with the convenience of modern living.

The apartment enjoys its own private entrance and immediately impresses with its generous proportions, high ceilings and large sash-style windows, allowing natural light to flood the principal rooms. There is also underfloor heating throughout.

At the heart of the property is a spacious kitchen and dining room, fitted with contemporary cabinetry and quality integrated appliances. Double doors open directly onto a private west-facing terrace, creating an excellent space for outdoor dining and entertaining.

The reception room is particularly attractive, featuring herringbone flooring, decorative ceiling detailing and a working feature fireplace. Large windows overlook the landscaped grounds and reinforce the sense of space throughout the apartment.

The principal bedroom benefits from fitted wardrobes and a beautifully appointed en suite shower room finished with marble-effect tiling and contemporary sanitaryware. The second bedroom is a comfortable double room and is served by a separate shower room finished to the same high standard.
