Surrey · RH4–RH5
Dorking is a handsome market town at the foot of Box Hill, ringed by the Surrey Hills. Its housing — Victorian and Edwardian terraces, period cottages and substantial country homes in the surrounding villages — is exactly the sort I’m at home in.
Decorating in Dorking
The town and its villages — Westcott, Brockham, North Holmwood and the Deepdene — offer a wealth of period property with original features worth keeping: bay windows, decorative plaster and characterful joinery. Set against the AONB, many houses also have exterior-facing rooms and garden rooms that need a considered, hard-wearing hand.
Dorking’s period houses reward a decorator who makes good properly — repairing cracks and movement, filling and sanding, then finishing by hand so the original detail reads clearly. From a village cottage in Brockham to a townhouse in the centre, the standard doesn’t change.
