About this property

Private, self-contained, 1st flr flat with large balcony & beautiful views

Dormer Venn is good for couples, solo and business travellers.
First floor flat with lovely views opening onto large balcony in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Direct access on foot and bike to beautiful walks and off road trails. Easy travel to London & local business centres. Pretty village with shops & a pub. QiT 4*

Dormer Venn has spacious rooms with new carpets or vinyl/Amtico flooring throughout; beautiful curtains and original artwork give a relaxed, elegant and comfortable atmosphere. Optical fibre broadband and a Heating system with 'nest' thermostat, provide guests with hi-tech controls of their environment. The kitchen is equipped with halogen hob, fan oven, dishwasher, washing machine, tumble dryer (also line outside), microwave and lots of china and pans.

Guest access
Each flat is private and self-contained. Dormer Venn has a large private balcony off the sitting room, both with lovely views and guests have access to most of the 3 acres of grounds around the house. We keep the top lawn immediately behind the house private and a small area of garden to the side of the house.

Being a first floor flat, accessed by stairs, with a kitchen on two levels, Dormer Venn is not suitable for those with limited mobility. The Garden Flat, our ground floor accommodation, has one step up and intone on one level - see property code HAUK 8471871 for details.

Guest interaction
We respect our guests privacy, but we are always happy to suggest places to eat or visit and recommend walks of varying lengths in the beautiful countryside that surrounds us and are on hand for help or advice if required.

Pretty markets towns of Dorking, Guildford, Reigate and Farnham are between 2 & 24 miles away. There are many National Trust properties and short distance away and some outstanding gardens including Wisley.

About the host

Hosted by Louise Scillitoe-Brown

Host profile image
We have lived here for almost 30 years, arriving with a tiny baby to dilapidated house and derelict garden.

We are still making discovers in the garden as we peel back layers. We are currently in the throes of creating a new kitchen garden and have found lots of rubble!

We love living here, walking in the beautiful Surrey Hills and seeing the seasons change. We also enjoy being close enough to London, to visit galleries, museums and the theatre and to the coast for bracing walks on flat sands.

Why they chose this property

The Surrey Hills are especially beautiful and our light filled home is a great location to explore the surrounding countryside, National Trust properties. Both London and the coast can be reached within about an hour out of rush hour.
The large pretty garden overlooking a lake and Ranmore, but within a 10 minute easy walk of the village centre are the reasons we moved here.
