On summer evenings, the garden is just the spot to set up your table and chairs, fire up the barbeque and have friends and family over to enjoy the sunshine. You won't need to worry about anyone treading mud through the house on winter days as the downstairs toilet is within easy reach of the garden.

What the Owner says:
We bought this cottage because we fell in love with the space and character. We have enjoyed spending time in the garden and, being the end cottage, it feels so private and peaceful with the woodland to the side. The easy access into Dorking has been great and we have often gone there to enjoy all the amenities it has to offer.
We're sure any new buyer will love all it just as much as we have and we will be sad to go.
