Beneath Box Hill, in the Surrey Hills

Dorking sits directly beneath Box Hill, at the point where the North Downs fold into some of the most dramatic countryside in the Home Counties. It is a market town with a genuine antiques and independent trade along its high street, and it is surrounded — more completely than almost anywhere else in Surrey — by protected countryside.

For buyers who want the feeling of living in the country without leaving Surrey, Dorking is usually the town they end up in. The Surrey Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty begins at the edge of the town and extends in every direction.

W H Y B U Y E R S M O V E H E R E

Open countryside on every side


The Surrey Hills

Box Hill, Ranmore Common and the North Downs Way are minutes from the town centre — the most immediate access to open, protected countryside anywhere on our patch.


Village life

Westcott, Abinger and Shere sit within a few minutes' drive, each with its own character and its own devoted following of buyers who rarely leave once they arrive.


The commute

Dorking's two stations run services into London Victoria and Waterloo, with journey times of around fifty minutes.

Dorking's best addresses


Ranmore Common

Elevated, wooded and almost entirely private, with some of the area's most significant houses set well back from any road.

Abinger & Abinger Hammer

Genuine village addresses along the Tillingbourne valley, with period houses and a strong sense of community.

Shere

Widely considered one of the prettiest villages in England, with the properties around it in correspondingly high demand.

Westcott

Immediately west of Dorking itself, offering easier access to the town with a more rural feel than the centre.
