St Martha's Lodge is a striking and beautifully restored period residence, nestled within the peaceful surroundings of the Surrey Hills and only moments away from the energy and amenities of Guildford town centre. Originally built in 1877 by the respected local builder Maurice Pocock for the distinguished Smallpiece family, this exceptional home blends the charm and craftsmanship of the Victorian era with refined modern-day living.Arranged over multiple floors, the house offers a generous and thoughtfully designed layout, perfect for family life and entertaining. The ground floor is centred around a stunning kitchen and breakfast room, where bespoke fittings and a large island are complemented by glass doors that open directly onto the landscaped garden. This space is ideal for relaxed everyday living and seamless indoor-outdoor hosting. A formal dining room of impressive proportions sits to the front of the house, while a separate study provides a peaceful home office or reading room. The utility and boot room is conveniently located off the kitchen and includes additional storage and a guest WC.Upstairs, the first floor is home to a beautifully appointed sitting room with a feature fireplace and serene garden views, offering a calm and elegant retreat. The principal bedroom suite on this floor exudes grandeur, with its tall sash windows, high ceilings, and luxurious en-suite bathroom. Also on this level is a spacious additional bathroom and a separate mezzanine room that lends itself well to use as further storage or a quiet reading nook.The second floor hosts two further large bedrooms, each filled with natural light and offering flexible accommodation for children, guests or even additional workspace. A convenient WC is also located between the two bedrooms. On the third floor is a fourth bedroom alongside a stylish and contemporary family bathroom, creating a self-contained and private level ideal for older children or visitors.The property is set within professionally landscaped gardens and approached via a private gravel driveway, which leads to a detached garage. The grounds have been thoughtfully redesigned to provide year-round interest, privacy and space for outdoor enjoyment. The restoration of the property has been undertaken with exceptional care and attention, including a new roof, renewed tile-hung elevations, handcrafted timber-framed windows, underfloor heating throughout the ground floor, partial rewiring and installation of a new septic tank.Situated at the meeting point of Merrow and Pewley Downs, both within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the property enjoys unrivalled access to nature. Scenic destinations such as Newlands Corner and St Martha's Hill are a short walk away, while Guildford's Upper High Street, mainline train stations, and an excellent selection of both independent and state schools lie just over a mile from the front door. With its rich architectural legacy, beautifully curated interiors and idyllic setting, St Martha's Lodge offers a rare and distinguished opportunity for refined family living in the heart of Surrey.
