Description
The Story
Sondes Place was designed and constructed by the renowned master builder Thomas Cubitt of Eaton Square fame in 1850, set in a commanding location overlooking the Surrey Hills but within easy striking distance of London.
Award winning developers Twist sensitively converted the mansion into four remarkable properties accessed from the main entrance. Designed to appeal to the more discerning homeowner and for those who appreciate outstanding attention to detail and lavish build specification for which Twist is renowned. Architects took a sympathetic approach to the complete restoration of the original building and introduced contemporary touches to deliver bright, airy spaces with high ceilings and sense of grandeur. The restoration included recreating features such as traditional double-glazed sash windows, bespoke skirting, ceiling details and cornicing to principal rooms.
Exquisitely designed Interiors feature hardwood parquet oak floors with underfloor heating, contemporary, high-quality Italian Kitchen units with integrated Miele and Siemens appliances and a unique sliding island top. Built-in Italian walnut-lined wardrobes in the bedrooms and high quality Italian white sanitaryware with Hansgrohe bathroom fittings complete the polished finish. Vaillant hot water system. Vent-Axia Mechanical Ventilation Heat Recovery system (MVHR). Double glazed sliding sash windows. Video door entry. Outside there is a natural York stone wrap around terrace with RHS designed stepped gardens.
Location
With its elevated position and stunning views, Sondes Place is the perfect location for those who value the opportunity to live in a unique ‘Cubitt’ mansion in this exclusive part of Surrey. It offers the beauty, tranquillity and privacy of the Surrey Hills yet is just a short walk from the bustling Dorking high street including Waitrose and M&S, and the famed antique shops, with Guildford 15 miles away. The surrounding countryside and villages are ideal for walking, cycling and riding. The RAC and Beaverbrook clubs, Epsom and Goodwood for racing, and other sports activities are within reach. The motorway network and Gatwick and Heathrow airports are easily accessed with Dorking station running trains to London Victoria, Waterloo, Euston and Blackfriars.
Dorking is a bustling market town with several lively pubs and award winning restaurants along with the well known antiques quarter. Dorking also has a thriving cultural and independent shopping scene with large brand supermarkets Waitrose, M&S, Sainsbury's and Lidl as well. It is home to local, independent traders, quirky boutiques and a vibrant art scene. This quintessential market town is becoming renowned for its local food, pastry, craft spirits and beer, putting Dorking on the culinary radar.
Dorking has activities for both active parents and children, examples include Dorking Sports Centre offering a swimming pool, gym, and regular exercise classes, Dorking Halls and Theatre with regular live shows and a cinema. Open spaces at Meadowbank Park including a large playground and Meadowbank football stadium, home to Dorking Wanderers. Dorking Rugby Club (and gym) is just a short distance away in Brockham and Dorking Lawn tennis and squash club is conveniently located just a short distance away.
