Typically Georgian in its proportions this beautiful building, one of the original in the area, is full of character and potential. In its elevated position with views across the valley to the castle, it offers the rare combination of a large, stylish family residence and generous garden, situated only 5 minutes walk from the River Wey towpath, Guildford town centre and the main railway station.
Currently the spacious property is laid over two main floors with interesting use of levels throughout, including steps down into a garden room. Although it has been used as office space for several years, it has a uniquely homely feel and is habitable immediately. Planning permission, which was approved in November 2022, allows for full conversion into a stunning family home for stylish, modern living, largely using the existing structure, plus replacement of the current garden room with a single-story open-plan kitchen/dining area orangery. Alteration to the current driveway access will provide a new front garden and off-road residential parking. The ample, private garden space, encircled with beautiful original walls, boasts some established trees and the potential for several patio areas.
The planning permission is available to view on Guildford Borough Council's website under the reference: Ref: 21/P/02271 is subject to a number of conditions.
