"Cedar House is ideally located in a quiet position, set back from Rose Hill Green, offering a picturesque setting yet just moments away from Dorking High Street. This Victorian home has been sympathetically upgraded to the highest standards throughout, while retaining many beautiful original features, such as attractive sash windows, a stunning staircase and banister, and multiple fireplaces, to name just a few.

The property is characteristic of its era, with large room proportions, expansive windows, and tall ceiling heights that create an abundance of natural light throughout. Cedar House boasts an excellent layout spread across four floors. A real highlight is the kitchen, located at the rear of the house. Handmade with a large central island, it features bi fold doors leading onto the south east facing terrace and is open plan to the dining area.

To the front of the house is a spacious double width drawing room, which features two large marble fireplaces and two bay windows. The first floor comprises a generous principal bedroom with an exquisite marble bathroom and views over the green, along with two further double bedrooms and another well designed marble bathroom. The second floor contains two additional bedrooms, one of which has a vaulted ceiling, and a shower room. The lower ground floor offers flexible use as a self contained space, but currently includes a family TV snug room, a double bedroom, a utility room, and a workshop.

Cedar House features original red brick pillars at the entrance to a large gravel driveway, providing ample parking for several cars. The front garden is generously sized and bordered by mature hedging. A second wrought iron gate offers access to the rear garden, where you ll find an attractive wood clad studio apartment. The studio comprises a small kitchen, bedroom, and shower room. Like the main house, the self contained studio has been beautifully finished and offers an ideal space for guests, an au pair, or even as an Airbnb rental. From the kitchen, a large stone patio enjoys sunlight for most of the day. Steps lead up to an additional terrace, which serves as another ideal seating area. The rear garden is flat, mostly laid to lawn, and again bordered by mature hedging, creating a great sense of privacy.

Cedar House is situated in the highly desirable development of Rose Hill. Dating back to around the 1850s, a series of grand Italianate and Victorian styles villas were constructed around a paddock, with a striking brick arch serving as the entrance. Nestled just moments from the High Street, this historic setting, complete with its picturesque paddock and elegant archway, continues to be one of Dorking s most private and enchanting developments.
