4 Bedroom Detached House for sale in Surrey

3 4 2

This handsome and classically styled detached family home occupies a prime position on the ever-desirable Horseshoe Lane East, a prestigious and leafy residential setting in Guildford. Originally constructed in 1974 by the highly regarded MGS Builders and proudly held by the same family since new, this substantial property offers a rare opportunity to acquire a cherished home with an enviable plot, thoughtfully maintained and brimming with potential for the next chapter.

Set behind a smart picket fence and flanked by manicured topiary trees, the home enjoys immediate curb appeal. The Georgian-style brick fa�ade is elevated by white plantation shutters and a pillared portico that opens into a generous entrance hall, setting the tone for the space and comfort found throughout. Inside, the layout flows seamlessly with expansive and well-proportioned rooms ideally suited to family life. The heart of the home is a bright and spacious dual-aspect living room that spans over 28 feet in length, enjoying an outlook to the rear garden and access to the patio via sliding doors. Adjacent is a formal dining room with a charming picture window again overlooking the garden, perfect for entertaining, while a well-fitted kitchen/breakfast room is complemented by a separate utility room with direct access to the integral garage/workshop.

The ground floor further benefits from a study ideal for remote working, a convenient cloakroom, and excellent built-in storage. Upstairs, four generous bedrooms provide ample accommodation for growing families. The principal bedroom is particularly noteworthy, extending to over 16 feet in width and featuring dual fitted wardrobes and an en-suite. A family bathroom and additional shower room cater to the remaining bedrooms with style and practicality in mind.

One of the home's most special features is its beautifully established rear garden, which enjoys a sunny south-facing orientation. Measuring approximately 0.18 acres, the garden is predominantly laid to lawn with mature flowerbeds, colourful borders, and a patio ideal for summer dining. With its tranquil setting and excellent privacy, this is a rare find in such a central location.

The location is nothing short of exceptional. Within easy reach are the thriving local amenities of Merrow village, including a well-stocked M&S Foodhall, pharmacy, and post office. Families will appreciate the outstanding selection of nearby schools, many within walking distance, including Merrow Infant School, Bushy Hill Primary, St Thomas of Canterbury, Boxgrove Primary, St Peter's Catholic School, and George Abbot. Prestigious independent schools such as RGS, GHS, Tormead, and Cranmore are all within a 10-minute drive.

Just 2 miles away lies the vibrant historic centre of Guildford, renowned for its picturesque cobbled High Street, boutique shopping, and extensive leisure options including the Yvonne Arnaud Theatre, G Live, cinema complex, Spectrum Leisure Centre, and Surrey Sports Park.

For commuters, transport connections are superb. Two railway stations serve the area, including Guildford mainline with direct services to London Waterloo in approximately 37 minutes. A regular bus service provides convenient access to the town centre, while the nearby A3 connects to the M25, London airports, and the wider motorway network.

This is a rare opportunity to secure a home in one of Guildford's most sought-after residential enclaves, offering space, serenity, and convenience in equal measure.

Constructed in 1974, the property experienced early building defects, leading to two rounds of underpinning (completed in 1983), with a certificate of satisfaction issued in 1990
