Property Profile This is a house that has been a real labour of love for our client who has put heart and soul and no small amount of effort into creating a home that is fabulously presented and has huge depth of character. A great deal of thought has gone into its renovation in order to preserve the feel of the house that was originally built in the 1820's and to blend this with the requirements of today's living.

Throughout there are wonderful details that are such a pleasure to see still intact such as beautiful, ornate windows, panelled doors and cornices along with that certain feeling of warmth that comes with delightful period townhouses.

On the ground floor a very welcoming hall leads to the two principal reception rooms that can be opened into one room or, by closing the panelled doors, divided into two separate spaces. Both though are notably light and well proportioned and with their stunning original windows, high corniced ceilings and open fireplaces they make hugely attractive main living rooms for the house. Also off the hall there is a bathroom that has been totally remodelled complete with a separate shower with slate tiles and twin basins built into an antique pine dresser.

On the lower floor, which leads out onto the garden, the kitchen/breakfast room is a fabulous, informal day to day living space that has a very comfortable feel to it and which has been very nicely fitted out with an excellent range of solid oak units and granite work surfaces. In the centre there is an island unit with a breakfast bar area, off to one side a double butler sink and on the other a 2 oven Aga. The slate floor is heated beneath the kitchen area and runs through into the dining area where there is ample space for a family sized table.

To one side of the kitchen there is a walk-in pantry while to the other is a hugely useful laundry room with space for all of the usual appliances.

On the top floor of the house the main bedrooms are light and well proportioned with the same fabulous windows as in the main living rooms and lovely cast iron insert fireplaces. Both have built-in wardrobes and are comfortable doubles while the third bedroom looks out over the rear garden.

All in all this is a very rare opportunity to buy a hugely charismatic home in a fabulous central location.

Garden & Exterior

Location

At the front of the house there is a large cobbled area of off street parking that fits up to three cars which in itself is very rare to find in a period home in as central a location as this.

There is no question at all that being in a central location has huge advantages not only as the house is within a short walk of Guildford's excellent commuter station but also because an equally easy stroll will bring you to the bottom of the towns wonderful and historic cobbled High Street lined with beautiful period buildings where you will find a vast and eclectic array of shops that seem to cater for almost every conceivable need. In amongst these and off to the sides, in its interesting little side streets, there is a huge array of bars, cafes and restaurants that give the town its buzzing and cosmopolitan feel through the day and into the evening. For those times when you yearn for the green hills and the wide open spaces rather than the bustling streets of the town, Guildford is surrounded by miles of open countryside some of which is just a short walk across the road from the house while a few minutes drive out of town will take you out into the stunning Surrey hills and countryside that has been designated as an area of outstanding natural beauty.

At the back of the house the garden is a beautifully landscaped and wonderfully private oasis that very much feels like part of the house and which creates a very secluded setting. Immediately adjacent to the back there is an attractive sun terrace with ample space for a large table and chairs. This leads down onto a garden with a central lawn and is enclosed on two sides by a brick wall and shaped flower beds that house a huge variety of mature trees and shrubs that give the garden its significant degree of privacy. As the lawn winds down through the garden it opens up at the far end into a further sitting area which is a delightful and sunny corner of the garden with a log burner, all of which creates a space that feels like a further living area for the house. The garden as a whole is without question part of what makes this such an exceptional home and is also unsually well propoprtioned for a period town centre home of this type.
