1 bed flat for sale

St. Martins Mews, Dorking RH4

Main Description - Please Quote Ref: ES0957 when Booking.

Tucked away within a gated development in the very heart of Dorking, this beautifully refurbished raised ground floor one bedroom apartment offers a rare combination of style, privacy and convenience.

Having been fully refurbished throughout, the property now presents as a calm, elegant and immaculately finished home, ideal for first-time buyers, young couples, single professionals, downsizers, or those looking for a smart Surrey base within moments of everything the town has to offer.

The apartment opens into a welcoming entrance hall with useful built-in storage, setting the tone for the quality seen throughout. The main sitting/dining room is a particularly strong feature of the home, measuring over 20 feet and offering a lovely sense of light and space, with clearly defined areas for both relaxing and dining. It is a room that feels both comfortable and sociable, equally suited to quiet evenings in or entertaining friends.

Just off the reception space, the brand new semi-open-plan kitchen is arranged through an open archway, creating an easy flow while still retaining its own identity. Stylishly fitted in a soft contemporary palette, it includes a fridge freezer, washer dryer, electric oven, gas hob and extractor.

The bedroom is a generous double with built-in cupboard storage and doors opening directly onto a private walled patio courtyard, giving the room an extra sense of openness and providing a lovely tucked-away outside space. The bathroom has also been beautifully refitted and fully tiled, with elegant brass Crosswater fixtures and fittings, a double-ended bath, and both rain and hand showers over.

Further benefits include an allocated private parking space and an outstanding central location, less than a minute from Dorking High Street, close to its coffee shops, restaurants, shopping and everyday amenities.

This is a smart, turnkey home in one of Dorking’s most convenient tucked-away positions, and one that offers much more than many typical one bedroom apartments.

In the Owner’s Words

Dorking has always held a special place in my heart. Nestled at the foot of the Surrey Hills, it offers the best of both worlds — countryside living with the convenience of being well connected to London and beyond. It was where I grew up, and where I always hoped I might one day own my own home.

I bought the flat 22 years ago and still remember the day I first walked in and fell in love with it — especially the lovely bright lounge and the hidden courtyard. Over the years, the flat has been many things to me; a home, a base when I worked abroad, and in more recent years an investment property while I moved to Africa to run our safari business and raise a family.

What I have always loved most is the location. Within an easy walk, you can be in the High Street, on a train to London, or heading out for a walk on Ranmore. I have no doubt that the new owners will enjoy that same wonderful balance of convenience and lifestyle.

The Local Area

St Martins Mews enjoys one of the most convenient positions in Dorking, tucked away just off the centre yet only moments from the High Street and St Martin’s Walk. Dorking is one of Surrey’s most attractive and best-loved market towns, valued for the balance it offers between character, practicality and countryside. Set within the Surrey Hills National Landscape, the town lies between Ranmore Common on the North Downs and Leith Hill on the Greensand Ridge, giving it a remarkably scenic backdrop as well as a real sense of place.

For day-to-day living, Dorking is exceptionally well served. The town centre offers a pleasing mix of independent boutiques, cafés, restaurants and everyday essentials, with Waitrose in South Street, Sainsbury’s on the High Street and Marks & Spencer in St Martin’s Walk all close to hand. One of Dorking’s loveliest traditions is its long-established Friday market, held in St Martin’s Walk car park, which has been running for over 700 years and sells flowers, plants, fruit, vegetables, fish, cheese, meat, olives and other produce. West Street adds yet more character and is widely known as the town’s Antiques Quarter, with independent shops, vintage finds and specialist retailers that make this part of Dorking especially distinctive.

Dorking also has a strong cultural and community feel. Dorking Halls is a real local asset, hosting live events, cinema, comedy, event screenings and theatre trips throughout the year, while Dorking Museum & Heritage Centre provides an engaging insight into the town’s history and heritage. This gives the town a sense of life beyond the shops and makes it feel established, varied and genuinely enjoyable to live in.

For those who enjoy the outdoors, Dorking is particularly well placed. Box Hill and its famous stepping stones are nearby, Ranmore Common offers superb walking and far-reaching views, and the Deepdene Trail is only around a 15-minute stroll from the town centre, providing free access to one of the country’s most historically significant landscapes. Denbies Wine Estate, on the edge of town, is one of England’s largest single-estate vineyards and remains one of the area’s best-known destinations for wine, dining and days out.

From a practical point of view, Dorking is also very well connected. The town is served by three railway stations — Dorking Main, Dorking Deepdene and Dorking West — which provide access to different routes, including direct services from Dorking to London Victoria in just under an hour and services from Dorking West to London Waterloo. That combination of town-centre convenience, strong local amenities, beautiful surrounding countryside and useful transport links is exactly why Dorking remains such a consistently popular place to live.
