Olive Tree House is located on a highly sought after, generational private road. This family home has been renovated and modernised to the highest of standards throughout.
On entering, the hallway has the original parquet flooring, which runs through the principal reception rooms on the ground floor. The open-plan kitchen and dining room are to the rear of the property, with bi-folding doors which open out to the garden. The stone flooring has underfloor heating, and the same porcelain tiles extend out to the garden terrace. The recently fitted kitchen has an exposed brick wall and is fitted with a superb shaker-style kitchen units with integrated appliances, a central island with additional storage, and a breakfast bar for casual dining in addition to the formal dining space.
The formal sitting room has a feature working fireplace, and a dual aspect with large windows to the front with views over to the green and landscaped front garden, and French doors to the rear, which open out to the garden. An additional reception room is beyond, currently set up as a games room/ family room. There is also a study adjacent to this room. The utility space has a side entrance to the front of the property and a second stable door to the courtyard to the rear. There is plenty of storage and access to the garage with electricity and water connections.
Upstairs, there are five bedrooms with two family bathrooms. The exceptional principal bedroom has a Juliete balcony with views on to the garden, fitted wardrobes within the bedroom, and double doors leading out to an extensive roof terrace, which subject to planning, could be extended on.
There is a self-contained apartment with separate access or can be accessed via the main house providing versatile accommodation. The annexe comprises a double bedroom with fitted storage with an en suite shower room and could be used as the principal bedroom or guest suite but simarly would be ideal for an au pair.

Garden and grounds
The property is approached via a large driveway with parking for multiple cars and has pretty raised beds. The double garage has an electric door and double doors to the back which allows access to the garden. The substantial garden is a real sun trap and is beautifully maintained with a wrap around sun-terrace as well as a second terrace which has been tactfully positioned to enjoy sunlight for the majority of the day. The rear garden is mostly laid to lawn, flat and bordered by mature trees and hedging to create a great sense of privacy. To the front of the property is a private green which is part owned by several houses. This is an excellent additional space which is exclusively used by the neighbours in Levylsdene for community gatherings or for additional parking needs. Access to the Merrow Downs and Guildford Golf Club is at the end of the road and provides excellent walking routes.

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

    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
