5 bed semi-detached house for sale

Guildford, Surrey GU1

A spacious five bedroom period home offering versatile accommodation over three floors, with an abundance of character and impressive views across Guildford Castle and the Wey Valley. Situated in the heart of the town, within approximately 200 yards of the historic High Street, the property combines a remarkable central location with generous and highly adaptable living space.

Believed to date in part from the 17th century, the house retains a wealth of attractive period features, including exposed beams, character fireplaces and small-paned windows. A later extension to the rear introduces larger windows and balconies, making the most of the far-reaching westerly outlook.

The ground floor opens into a spacious entrance hall, leading through to an inviting kitchen/breakfast room with ample space for dining. This flows into the generous living room, where a broad expanse of glazing fills the space with natural light and opens onto a small terrace overlooking the surrounding townscape and countryside beyond. A cloakroom and useful external store complete this floor.

On the first floor are three well-proportioned bedrooms, including a particularly generous principal bedroom with its own balcony and elevated views. A separate utility room and a family bathroom with both a bath and shower serve this level.

Two further double bedrooms occupy the second floor, together with a study and an additional bathroom. The flexible arrangement lends itself equally well to family life, guest accommodation or working from home, while the upper rooms continue to enjoy attractive views towards the castle and across the Wey Valley.

Quarry Street lies at the heart of historic Guildford, moments from the cobbled High Street and its extensive selection of shops, restaurants, cafés and leisure facilities. Guildford Castle and its landscaped grounds, the River Wey, Yvonne Arnaud Theatre and G Live are all nearby. The town is particularly well regarded for its excellent selection of schools, including the Royal Grammar School, Guildford High School, Tormead, Lanesborough, George Abbot and St Peter’s, together with the University of Surrey. Guildford’s mainline station provides regular services to London Waterloo in approximately 35–40 minutes, while the A3 offers convenient connections to London, the M25 and the wider motorway network.
