This charming semi-detached home on Guildown Road carries with it over a century of history, having been originally built in 1911. In the 1960s, the house was purchased by the current owner's father and his father's close friend, who together converted the property into two substantial semi-detached homes, one for each family. Both households remained here for decades, enjoying a strong sense of community that has lasted generations. The property now finds itself on the market for the first time in over sixty years, with the benefit of no onward chain.
The property itself is arranged across two floors and offers a versatile layout extending over 2,200 square feet. The ground floor is introduced by a large and welcoming reception hall, with the scale and character immediately apparent. A generous living room lies to one side, while the other side of the house flows into a bright dining room or second sitting room and a fitted kitchen/breakfast room with access to the garden. A WC completes the ground floor accommodation. The proportions and flow of the house lend themselves well to family life, with ample opportunity to enhance and update the accommodation to meet modern tastes.
Upstairs, the first floor provides four good-sized bedrooms, the principal of which benefits from its own en suite bathroom. The three further bedrooms are served by a family bathroom, offering plenty of space for children, guests, or hobbies. From the rear-facing rooms, the south-facing orientation of the garden becomes apparent, with views stretching down the terraced grounds. The garden itself slopes gently away from the house, creating a sense of depth and privacy. A decommissioned swimming pool lies tucked within the garden, now out of use, but with a steel liner and electricity supply, providing scope for buyers to consider whether to reinstate, reimagine, or remove entirely depending on their vision for the space.
The property also benefits from a double garage and driveway parking, providing secure storage and ample room for vehicles. The garage sits alongside a useful shed/outbuilding, ensuring plenty of practical utility space.
Though well cared for over the years, the house is now in need of modernisation and presents an exciting opportunity for the next owners to make it their own. With its generous proportions, period heritage, and superb location, it represents a rare chance to acquire a family home with genuine character and history in this highly sought-after part of Guildford.
Guildford itself is a vibrant county town, rich in history and culture, offering a lively High Street with its famed cobbled setts, excellent shopping, restaurants, and a wealth of leisure opportunities. It is also renowned for its outstanding schools, both state and independent, and its excellent connectivity, with fast rail services to London Waterloo and easy access to the A3 and M25. Guildown Road is widely regarded as one of Guildford's most prestigious addresses, perfectly positioned on the town's sought-after western side. The road enjoys a tranquil residential setting yet is only a short walk from the historic town centre, the River Wey, and the open green expanses of the Surrey Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Homes here are rarely available, prized for their combination of convenience, charm, and leafy surroundings, making this an exceptional location for family life.
