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 Shaker-style kitchen features a breakfast bar, dual aspect outlook, and integrated appliances, including a sleek induction hob. Adjacent to the kitchen, the dining room opens directly onto the garden, making it perfect for indoor-outdoor entertaining. A separate utility room, along with a convenient WC and shower located on the half landing, complete the lower level.
Upstairs, the first floor offers four double bedrooms, each with remarkable views—some across the Downs, with the house bordering the Pewley Down Nature Reserve, and others across the town centre, extending to views beyond. 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. Families will appreciate the proximity to two of Guildford’s highly regarded schools, Pewley Down Infant School and Holy Trinity Junior School, both just a short stroll away.
Guildford, a thriving market town in the heart of Surrey, offers excellent transport links to London (around 40 minutes by train) and easy access to both Heathrow and Gatwick airports, as well as major roads like the M25, M3, and A3. The town is rich in entertainment and cultural venues, including The Yvonne Arnaud Theatre and G Live, and provides an abundance of shopping, dining, and recreational options. For those who enjoy the outdoors, the nearby Surrey Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty offers a variety of walking trails with breathtaking views across the town and the surrounding countryside, even reaching as far as the London skyline.
