The property is well-proportioned throughout, with the ground floor accommodating a spacious entrance hall with the cloakroom, sitting room and kitchen leading from it. Oak finished double doors lead into the substantial sitting room with a sliding patio door to the outside sun terrace/rear garden. The sitting room has two other internal doors, one giving further access to the kitchen (Wren) and one providing access to a dual-aspect dining room with views over the gardens. A half-landing staircase with new oak balustrades/handrails rises from the entrance hall up to the first floor, giving access to four good-sized bedrooms and the family bathroom. One of the bedrooms is dual aspect, and if desired, would also make an ideal home office, being that it is located outside the main envelope of the house.
In recent years, the property has generally been refurbished both inside and outside and is ready to move into and live. Low-maintenance UPVC windows and doors are fitted throughout the accommodation, and low-maintenance UPVC facias, soffits, bargeboards, and guttering have been installed at the roofline. The property has been refurbished and is in excellent decorative order throughout, with new fitted carpets laid recently. In recent years the bathroom, cloakroom and kitchen have all been replaced with new. Energy-saving LED light fittings have been installed throughout the property. The configuration of the property and grounds is such that there is substantial scope to extend the existing accommodation further (subject to planning permission) without affecting the everyday living of the current home. There is scope to extend the existing property on both side elevations and from the rear elevation.
Anim House is set back from the private road with a large front garden laid to lawn with designated borders planted with shrubs/trees. A gravel driveway provides parking for several cars. A garden gate gives access from the front garden to the rear garden, with an ornamental lamp post providing lighting at night. The garden wraps around the house, and the plot expands to 0.25 acres. Compared to most of the original properties built in Abbotswood Close, the rear garden of Anim House is a substantial size due to the acquisition of additional land that the current owners purchased. This additional land forms part of 0.25 acres total plot size and has its own Land Registry Title. The Land Registry title of the original property and the Land Registry title of the additional land are offered for sale together (i.e. they are not available for purchase separately).
Immediately outside the sitting room patio door is a paved sun terrace, which is not overlooked. A well-positioned raised terrace with a shingle surface is suitable for an outside table/chairs for al fresco dining. The rear garden is southwest-facing, bordered by an array of high fences, hedges and mature trees, creating a sense of privacy. A few raised beds are planted with shrubs, and various trees are also located throughout the rear garden. Anim House benefits from its rear garden being directly adjacent to a designated local nature reserve, which leads, via a footpath, to Guildford's Riverside Park Nature Reserve (Green Flag awarded). A small gate is fitted in the property's boundary fence, opening on to the local nature reserve.
Anim House is located in the attractive and highly regarded/sought-after residential area of Abbotswood, which is set approximately 1.5 miles to the northeast of Guildford town centre. As the county town of Surrey, Guildford provides extensive shopping, weekly/monthly markets, restaurants, bars, theatre, cinema and sporting/leisure facilities. Guildford town has fine historic buildings, a cobbled high street, and a medieval castle keep, set against the backdrop of the River Wey.
Anim House benefits from its rear garden being directly adjacent to a designated local nature reserve, which leads, via a footpath, to Guildford's Riverside Park Nature Reserve (Green Flag awarded). The property is located within a short walk of the Spectrum Sports and Leisure Centre, Stoke Park and George Abbot Senior School. Many other premier schools are nearby, including The Royal Grammar School, Guildford High School for Girls, Tormead and Lanesborough.
Abbotswood is also close to Burpham village, which has most amenities for daily life. Abbotswood is surrounded on three sides by the Surrey Hills, designated as an Area of Outstanding Beauty, and it is a popular choice for enjoying both town and country living while benefiting from being just 30 miles from central London.

Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength
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
