Detached house for sale in Hilgay Close, Guildford, Surrey GU1

Green Lawns is a beautifully presented family home on a cul-de-sac in a convenient location just half a mile to Guildford's Upper High Street, while being within one mile to the great expanse of both Merrow and Pewley Downs.

The entrance hall offers a welcoming arrival to the home with wooden flooring and wood detailed bannisters, and leads to the principal reception rooms, which all sit to the rear of the house to enjoy views over the garden. The open-plan kitchen has a variety of integrated appliances and space for everyday dining, with double doors which open out to the terrace, perfectly extending the dining space outside in the summer months.

The formal dining room, currently used as a study by the current owners, sits adjacent to the kitchen and enjoys large windows allowing natural light to fill the room. The sitting room enjoys a dual aspect looking over both the front and rear gardens, and full height doors open to the rear terrace, perfectly connecting the inside space to the beautiful gardens. There is a centrally placed log-burner, making the room a cosy space for the family to gather.

The first floor houses the principal bedroom which is generously sized with fitted wardrobes and an en suite bathroom. Two further bedrooms and a family bathroom complete the bedroom accommodation. The property is ideally proportioned and in beautiful condition throughout but provides the incoming purchaser with a wonderful opportunity to extend further due to the large garden size.

Set back from the road in a large plot of 0.27 acres, with an in-and-out driveway with a single detached garage, the house has a private frontage with mature trees and a superb magnolia tree sits in the front garden. The rear garden has a terrace which spans the width of the back of the house and can be accessed from the ground floor reception rooms. A useful garden office sits behind the garage and offers an excellent additional space to work from home or as a studio. Beyond the terrace is mainly laid to lawn, interspersed with a variety of raised beds and borders, box hedging and mature trees and shrubbery. To the end of the garden is a second seating area with a pergola over, and there is a greenhouse and a shed.
