Property Profile A rare opportunity to purchase this detached five/six bedroom character home with flexible accommodation of circa 2,378 sq ft in this favoured location within the popular village of Merrow. This property is at a stage in its life where it would benefit from some general modernisation and updating but is without question a fabulous opportunity for someone to arrange the house entirely to their own specification along with scope to extend and adapt to the incoming buyers needs, subject to planning permission and building consents. The accommodation offers a welcoming, 'shabby chic' feel and comprises a large entrance hall with exposed woodblock flooring and double doors onto the rear garden. From the hall there is access to a double aspect sitting room with feature inglenook fireplace and exposed wood floorboards; there is then a dining room/ bedroom six, study/ bedroom five, a refitted kitchen/ breakfast room and WC. An inner hall interlinks two good sized ground floor bedrooms with feature fireplaces, stripped wood floors and washbasins. A bathroom and separate WC service these rooms. We feel this area could be used to create an annexe or separate accommodation if required. From the entrance hall stairs lead to the first floor landing where there are two further double bedrooms both with large, walk-in storage rooms which could be used to create wonderful en-suite facilities, of course subject to the necessary regulations. Although the property is currently of a fantastic family size it also offers great potential for the incoming buyers to extend to create extra living space, if required. Not only this but the current vendors have also looked into some exciting potential development, of which we have preliminary plans in office should you wish to view (please just let us know). This would offer the potential to create a substantial new detached residence or indeed the potential to split into two semi-detached homes. All of this would of course be subject to receiving confirmation of the relevant and required building and planning consents.

Garden & Exterior
Location
The front of the property offers a gravel driveway providing ample parking and access to a detached garage. There is also scope to the side of the house from here that could be extended subject to planning permission. There are also two neat lawn areas and screening is provided by mature trees.
Merrow is a popular village on the outskirts of Guildford town centre and has its own local shops that include an M&S food store, Indian restaurant, chemist and village pub.
The rear garden enjoys a westerly aspect and is approx 80ft by 36ft in size and comprises a paved terrace, with steps down to the lawn being enclosed by hedging and fencing. There is also a space that could be used as a children’s play area.
The location is very sought-after with much requested local schooling, the village tennis and cricket clubs along with gym nearby. Also being within just a short stroll of the Merrow Downs it offers an easy escape to the beautiful Surrey Hills ‘Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty’, perfect for walking, riding and outdoor pursuits. Guildford town centre is only two miles away and provides more comprehensive sporting, cultural and shopping facilities that include an abundance of restaurants, cafés, bars and shops around the historic High Street.
