Dorking, Surrey — £1,195,000

The property has undergone a full facelift in recent years but maintains the expressive deep gable windows on the exterior. Inside, the interiors are clean and crisp, albeit a touch uninspiring, but provide five decent sized bedrooms.
In addition to the impressive log-shed near the entrance, there are two additional outbuildings in the garden which are currently set up as a gym and a home office. Completing the outdoor space is a large terrace in front of the house, creating a fantastic al fresco environment.

Horley, Surrey — £2,500,000
Buyers looking for a project will be delighted to stumble across Drummond House and the opportunity it presents to create a really special home surrounded by mesmerising gardens.
The property provides a unique opportunity in that the vendors are already halfway through renovations and planning permission for a significant extension and remodel is in place, including heat pumps and solar panels, not to mention a new pool house next to the existing swimming pool.
The task in hand is by no means small: rooms have been gutted and the debris is currently piled up in the garden.
