3 bed detached house for sale

Goose Rye Road, Worplesdon, Guildford, Surrey GU3

Gosling Cottage is a quintessential period home, offering a balanced blend of traditional character and well-proportioned living space. The property is defined by its attractive brick elevations and leaded-light windows, while the interior retains a wealth of original features, including beamed ceilings and brick-built fireplaces.

The ground floor accommodation centres around two principal reception rooms, comprising a dual-aspect drawing room and a separate sitting room, both featuring wood-burning stoves and stable-style doors. A dedicated study provides a practical work-from-home space, set apart from the main living areas. The kitchen is fitted with rustic wooden units, granite work surfaces, a Butler sink and a range-style cooker, set upon a tiled floor, while a utility room and ground floor shower room add further convenience.
On the first floor are three bedrooms, each featuring sloped ceilings and charming cottage-style windows. The principal bedroom enjoys views over the gardens and includes bespoke fitted vanity units, while the second bedroom benefits from extensive built-in wardrobes. A well-proportioned family bathroom, finished with traditional timber panelling, completes the first floor accommodation.

Externally, the property is approached via a gated, brick-paved driveway providing ample parking and access to a detached garage. The gardens are a particular feature, mainly laid to level lawn and bordered by mature trees and established hedging, affording a good degree of privacy. A timber pergola with decking provides an inviting seating and dining area, overlooking a rockery and well-stocked flower beds, creating a private and well-established outdoor setting.

Gosling Cottage enjoys a peaceful semi rural setting in Worplesdon, a highly regarded village on the outskirts of Guildford, surrounded by open countryside yet exceptionally well placed for access to nearby towns and excellent transport links. The village offers a strong sense of community with local pubs, a church and everyday amenities, while nearby Guildford provides a comprehensive range of shopping, leisure and cultural facilities, together with a vibrant town centre. Woking and the surrounding Surrey towns are also easily accessible, expanding the choice of retail and employment opportunities.

The area is particularly well served by highly regarded schooling, including outstanding state and independent options such as Royal Grammar School Guildford, Guildford High School, St Catherine’s School, Charterhouse and Hoe Bridge School.

Communications are excellent, with Worplesdon station providing regular rail services to London Waterloo, while the A3 offers swift access to London, the M25 and the south coast. Both Heathrow and Gatwick airports are within around 30–40 minutes by car, making the location ideal for commuters and international travel alike.
