Detached house for sale in Guildford, Surrey GU1

This impressive detached four-bedroom house is arguably set in the best position on one of Guildford’s most prestigious addresses. Situated on a plot of over ¼ acre, the property boasts a large driveway accommodating up to three cars, with additional access to an integrated single garage. The expansive garden features a large patio, lush lawn, and mature borders that ensure privacy, while the elevated position provides spectacular views across Guildford. Ideal for gardening enthusiasts, the garden also includes a shed, a greenhouse, fruit trees, and raised beds.

A period property, it retains many original features, including two charming 1930s fireplaces in the living and dining rooms. The home’s bright and airy interior is enhanced by high ceilings and large windows throughout. The ground floor offers a spacious main living room, which flows into a third reception room overlooking the garden, with direct access to the patio.

The newly fitted family bathroom includes a separate bath and shower, along with ample storage. The principal bedroom and second bedroom feature fitted wardrobes, while the dual-aspect third bedroom comes with a useful sink.

The property presents excellent potential for further extension, as many homes on the road have undergone significant improvements.

The location is equally exceptional, with Guildford’s vibrant town centre, historic High Street, a variety of restaurants and bars, and the mainline station all within walking distance. A footpath at the end of Pewley Way leads directly to the Downs, offering stunning walks and panoramic views.
