Detached house for sale in Harvey Road, Guildford, Surrey GU1

Found in the popular location of Charlotteville, 27 Harvey Road is one of four similar houses believed to have been built for the surgeons of nearby Mount Alvernia Hospital. This beautifully maintained family home has well-proportioned, versatile accommodation which has been sympathetically restored while keeping many of its period features including ornamental coving, feature fireplaces, shutters and sash windows.

The ground floor houses three formal reception rooms which sit to the front of the house, with the heart of the home being the open-plan kitchen and dining room to the rear of the house. This is a wonderfully light and airy space with lantern skylights and bi-folding doors which open to the garden with a raised terrace extending the entertaining and dining space outside. There is a very useful, separate utility room with a guest cloakroom, store and access to the integral garage. There is a study to the rear of the house, providing a peaceful setting perfect for working from home. This area could easily lend itself to be a completely self contained annexe should the need be required.

Five well-sized bedrooms are found on the first floor with two family bathrooms, one of which has a free-standing rolltop bathtub with views out over to Guildford. The lower ground floor has been converted to offer additional living space which can be used as a study, home gym or additional family room.

The property is set back from the road with a driveway and space for several cars. The integral garage offers useful storage and access from the back leads to the hallway from the kitchen and to the utility room. The garden has a raised terrace adjacent to the house with pretty raised borders, and there is a second seating area to the end of the garden which is a suntrap. The garden has a large lawn and mature hedging.

Harvey Road is within 350 metres from Guildford High Street but also offers ample walking opportunities on your doorstep with the Pewley Downs just 500 metres from the house along Addison Road. Pewley Down is a spectacular 23 acre Local Nature Reserve offering views to St Martha's Hill, Chantry Wood and beyond with extensive walking routes.
