Coming to the market for the very first time in over forty years, this much-loved detached home occupies what is undoubtedly one of the finest plots and most sought-after roads within Guildford town centre. Set within approximately one-third of an acre, the property enjoys a tranquil rural setting opposite open farmland and meadows that rise gently towards the Chantry Hills. A local nature trail runs just beyond the front gate, providing an idyllic setting of peace, greenery, and convenience within walking distance of both Shalford Village and Guildford’s vibrant town centre.

Approached via a long private driveway and framed by mature trees, the house has an attractive frontage with a deep lawn and a sense of privacy that immediately impresses. The accommodation extends to nearly 2,000 sq ft including the garage and outbuildings, offering a versatile layout that could readily be adapted or extended, subject to the usual consents. Indeed, there is excellent scope for further development and enlargement, taking full advantage of the generous plot and prime location.

Inside, the welcoming entrance hall leads to the main reception areas. The large living room forms the heart of the home, bathed in natural light and connecting through original double doors to the adjoining dining room. Beyond, a delightful garden room provides the perfect spot to enjoy the outlook over the beautifully landscaped rear garden — a pleasant sun-lounge style extension that captures the afternoon light.

The kitchen/breakfast room is notably spacious and self-contained, with ample storage and workspace, ideal for family use or entertaining. At the end of the adjoining garage, a practical laundry and utility room houses the gas central heating boiler and provides access to the garden, making this an ideal working area for household management.

The ground floor also features two generous double bedrooms, a shower room, and a further utility area, providing a flexible living arrangement that can suit a variety of needs. Upstairs, there are two additional bedrooms, both with charming outlooks and characterful ceilings. Bedroom three is particularly spacious, while bedroom four could serve equally well as a home office or guest room. The upstairs bathroom retains period charm, complemented by original metal-framed 1930s-style windows that feature throughout.

Practical storage is thoughtfully incorporated, with both upstairs and downstairs airing cupboards and a large walk-in loft space offering further potential for conversion.

Outside, the gardens are a real highlight. The rear garden stretches wide and deep, with an immaculate central lawn bordered by mature trees and shrubs that provide colour and privacy throughout the seasons. To the front, a broad lawn and established hedging frame the driveway and garage, with views across open meadowland. Additional garden storage is provided by a series of useful outside sheds, ideal for tools and furniture.

Utility meters are conveniently located, with the water meter outside the front garden wall, and both gas and electric meters situated in the garage.

This is a rare opportunity to acquire a property with immense potential, combining character, space, and one of Guildford’s most desirable settings. Clifford Manor Road offers a tranquil, semi-rural lifestyle just moments from excellent schools, local shops, and mainline transport links — an outstanding setting for refurbishment, extension, or complete reimagining, subject to planning permission.
