Pewley Fort is a unique and characterful family house that has been created from an original Victorian fort, built at the end of the 1800's, as a mobilisation centre, used to store weapons and ammunition, and part of a chain of positions along the line of the North Downs, forming a defence line to defend London.

Tucked away off the road, in a quiet and private position, the single storey section of the building was part of the original fort and the two storey section was added in the late 1950's.

The accommodation has been updated and decorated in Farrow & Ball colours in recent years and a feature kitchen by Neptune has been installed. Approached via a mock drawbridge, the reception hall has a medieval theme, all creating an historic first impression.

On the ground floor there is a lovely large drawing room with feature central wood burner and library and a feature sweeping staircase leads to the first floor. Also on the ground floor there is a cloakroom and utility room, a large family/games room and three bedrooms and a bathroom.

The aforementioned feature staircase leads to a gallery style dining room with a balcony and the lovely kitchen/breakfast room leads off this area. There are double doors from the breakfast/family area onto a large roof terrace garden.

From the dining area an inner hall leads to a first-floor cloakroom, a study/bedroom and principal bedroom suite with a recently installed contemporary-style shower room.

Gardens and grounds

Approached via a private driveway off Pewley Hill, there is a detached timber double garage and courtyard parking with double gates leading to the house and garden. There is also an integral single garage and workshop within the original building.

A large lawned area to the front of the house with walkways through mature shrubberies, adds to the charm of the property. A real feature is the first-floor roof terrace which is enclosed by a high brick wall and iron balustrades. This also links to the balcony from the dining room and main bedroom. In all the site extends to approximately 0.3 of an acre.


Guildford 0.5 miles, Central London 32.6 miles, Guildford Mainline Station 0.9 miles (from 37 minutes to London Waterloo), A3 at Guildford 1.4 miles, M25 10 miles, Heathrow 20.7 miles, Gatwick 27 miles. (All distances and times are approximate).

Set in one of the most elevated positions in Guildford, Pewley Fort is tucked away in a secluded location at the end of a private driveway just off Pewley Hill - located within a short level walk of Pewley Downs at the top of the road and Guildford's historic high Street and town centre at the bottom of the hill, where there are excellent shops, restaurants, coffee shops, pubs and bars.

In the centre is the medieval Guildford Castle with landscaped gardens and views from its square tower. The town hosts both a bustling street market on Fridays and Saturday's and farmer's market on the first Tuesday of each month. Guildford's main line station provides a quick and regular service to Waterloo in approximately 34 minutes.
