Piccard's Rough occupies a prime position on Sandy Lane, arguably one of Guildford's premier addresses on the edge of town offering a stunning elevated position with a unique blend of town and country. Although extremely convenient for the Town Centre the property enjoys a truly rural atmosphere with direct access to the North Downs Way being at the end of the road (just 0.5 miles) providing a 153 mile trail of walking and riding countryside through Southern England.
The country town of Guildford offers an extensive range of department stores, boutique shops and restaurants, together with cultural and leisure amenities, including the Spectrum Leisure Centre at Stoke Park and the Yvonne Arnaud Theatre and Electric Blue Theatre. In the centre is the medieval Guildford Castle with landscaped gardens and views from its square tower, which look across the valley towards the property. The town hosts both a bustling Friday and Saturday market as well as a farmer's market on the first Tuesday of each month.
Guildford Mainline Station just 1.3 miles away offers a fast commuter service to London Waterloo in approximately 34 minutes, the A3 is quickly reached with the M25 at Wisley (junction 10), which in turn gives fast access to Central London, Heathrow and Gatwick
airports. There is an excellent choice of schools in the immediate area, including the Royal Grammar School and junior school for Boys and Tormead and the High School for Girls. Slightly further afield there are St. Catherine's at Bramley, Cranleigh School and on the edge of Godalming, Charterhouse and Priorsfield.
