About this property
1st flr flat with large balcony & beautiful views
Dormer Venn is good for couples, solo adventurers, 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*
In light of current COVID-19 please note that we always deep clean between lets, dismantle and clean the fridge, disinfect switches, handles, doors edges and frames and other high touch points. Once clean the flat is further sanitised using a Bio-Vac machine, as used on Covid wards, to capture and kill air and surface borne pathogens.
Space
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.
Neighbourhood overview
Westcott nestles in the Surrey Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) between the North Downs and Leith Hill. We are surrounded by excellent bike/horse trails and footpaths. 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. The commercial centres of London, Crawley & Croydon can be reached in about an hour out of the main rush hour and the coast is about an hour away too.
Getting around
Dorking Main station is 2.5 miles away with regular service to London. Dorking Deepdene is on the line that runs between Redhill and Reading. Gatwick is about 1/2 hour away and Heathrow 45 minutes - traffic permitting. There is a bus service 5 minutes walk away to both Guildford and Dorking and beyond.
Other things to note
There are shops 7 mins walk away that supply almost all usual needs, as well as the excellent Kingfisher farm shop in the next village and Waitrose, Sainsburys and Lidl in Dorking 2 miles away. We are hidden on a country road, but provide detailed directions on how find us and supply a mobile number for any extra help. Our rates vary depending on the time of year which we will discount for bookings of multiple weeks or in quieter periods.

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.
