This stunning Victorian semi-detached house built in 1861 is on Guildown Road, one of Guildford's most sought-after roads. It is just half a mile from Guildford High Street, offering easy access to the town's amenities. The property offers a charming and welcoming reception hall with an original stone floor and fireplace, leading to a spacious sitting room that benefits from abundant natural light, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The house also features a conveniently located office, perfect for working from home. The heart of the home is the impressive kitchen/breakfast room, with an AGA and ample storage space. It is a wonderful space for entertaining guests, with a vaulted ceiling and plenty of room for socializing and dining.
Upstairs, the property offers two generous bedrooms, all beautifully decorated, providing a comfortable and relaxing space to unwind. There is a family bathroom on this floor which services the two bedrooms. A third bedroom, bathroom, and practical utility space are on the lower ground floor.
The property features an abundance of character, with charming features throughout, including dressed stone quoins, sash windows and diaper brickwork to the exterior and flagstone flooring, panelled doors and open fireplaces inside, whilst still offering all the modern conveniences required for comfortable living.

    Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength: obtained from Ofcom on March 30, 2022

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
