Great Quarry, Guildford � A Private Elevated Retreat with Unparalleled ViewsNestled in a hidden enclave on the coveted crest of Great Quarry, this once-in-a-generation residence offers a serene, elevated perspective over the leafy sprawl of Guildford and the rolling contours of the Surrey Hills beyond. Built in 1923, and discreetly positioned yet moments from the heart of the historic town, this exceptional home spans approximately 0.28 acres of beautifully landscaped gardens and provides a harmonious blend of timeless architecture, modern convenience, and breathtaking natural surroundings.A meandering pathway through flowering borders and sculptural greenery leads to the front door, where the property reveals its quiet grandeur. The fa�ade, wrapped in ivy and softened by mature planting, speaks to decades of careful stewardship and an eye for detail. Inside, the accommodation flows with versatility, comfort, and charm.The ground floor introduces a thoughtful layout that balances generous proportions with a sense of intimacy. A welcoming entrance hall leads to a formal dining room, perfectly positioned with access to the garden and ideal for hosting both elegant dinners and relaxed summer lunches. A charming library, rich with character and natural light, offers a perfect escape for reading or reflection. The living room, airy and bright with bay windows, also opens onto the garden, creating a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living. While this room is not equipped with a fireplace, it is a calming, restful space ideal for entertaining or retreating at the end of the day.Also on the ground floor is a well-equipped kitchen and adjoining utility room, as well as a large store room, offering excellent functionality for daily life. These practical spaces are enhanced by modern systems including a Harvey water softener feeding all hot and cold outlets, with a dedicated bypass for garden and kitchen use, and a Franke filtered drinking water tap.Ascend to the first floor via separate staircase, and the heart of the home unfolds in dramatic style. The reception room�undoubtedly the most impressive room in the house�commands centre stage. This stunning triple-aspect space is framed by expansive picture windows, welcoming in uninterrupted vistas of distant hills and ever-changing skies. A large wood-burning fireplace, polished wooden floors, and exquisite natural light elevate this room to something truly special: a sanctuary, an entertaining space, a daily inspiration.Three bedrooms and two bathrooms complete this floor, all generously sized and offering comfort, flexibility, and character. On the top floor, two further bedrooms, a family bathroom, and a cosy snug (currently configured as an office) create a wonderful hideaway for guests, older children, or work-from-home life. Notably, a hardwired Cat6 Ethernet connection links this upper floor directly with the sitting room below, ensuring fast and secure connectivity across levels.Throughout the home, systems have been thoughtfully upgraded: a high-spec aerial and satellite system supports Freeview, FM, DAB, and dual satellites; an Electrolux/Beam central vacuum system enhances everyday ease; and a fully maintained, remotely monitored intruder alarm offers peace of mind.Step outside and the gardens unfold in a series of expertly designed spaces, from manicured lawns to secluded terraces and sculptural plantings. A sunny entertaining patio overlooks the valley, with elegant hard landscaping and space for dining or quiet contemplation. Two garden sheds, a discreet composting and shredding zone, and two undercroft storage areas (ideal for ladders, firewood, or tools) complete the picture. The detached garage, with its own metered electricity supply, is future-ready for an EV charging upgrade.Great Quarry is not just a location�it's a lifestyle. Tucked just above Guildford's bustling High Street, this is a tranquil retreat with immediate access to excellent schools, boutique shops, restaurants, theatres, and transport links. The iconic Surrey Hills are your backdrop, and the cultural riches of the town are within walking distance.This is a home that offers beauty and substance in equal measure. A place to make memories, to entertain, to reflect, and to live fully�surrounded by natural splendour and architectural grace. A rare opportunity, perfectly poised and ready to be treasured.
