Description
Hurst Farm House is a superb country residence situated in a semi rural setting on the outskirts of Guildford Town Centre. Beautifully presented throughout, the property combines practical internal accommodation with extensive land and a superb collection of outbuildings, creating a highly desirable lifestyle opportunity that will appeal to families, equestrian buyers and those seeking space, privacy and convenience in equal measure.
The ground floor is arranged to provide a wonderful sense of openness, with generous proportions and superb natural light. The principal reception room is a particularly impressive space, extending the full width of the house with multiple aspects overlooking the gardens and your surrounding fields. A substantial brick fireplace forms an attractive focal point, while the room’s scale and glazing enhance its connection to the outdoors. Adjoining this is the dining room, perfectly positioned for entertaining and everyday living, flowing seamlessly into the main living areas.
The kitchen is designed in an inviting modern farmhouse style, with bespoke cabinetry, a range cooker and extensive preparation space. Its dual aspects and direct access to the garden create a light and relaxed atmosphere, ideal for both informal family life and entertaining.
The first floor offers a selection of well proportioned bedrooms presented in a calm and neutral palette. The principal bedroom enjoys French doors opening onto a private balcony, providing a wonderful outlook over the gardens and paddocks beyond. This elevated position offers a tranquil space for morning coffee or evening relaxation. Additional bedrooms are spacious and flexible, while the second floor room offers further versatility as a bedroom, study or studio.
The property sits within approximately five acres of land, comprising formal gardens immediately surrounding the house and gently rolling paddocks beyond. This acreage provides excellent potential for equestrian pursuits, hobby farming or simply the enjoyment of open countryside. The setting is peaceful and beautifully private, with uninterrupted views that underscore the property's rural charm.
A significant feature of Hurst Farm House is its extensive range of outbuildings, which include stables, garaging, sheds and storage facilities. A modern garden building, currently arranged as a home gym, enjoys full height glazing and views across the grounds. It would lend itself equally well to use as a studio, office or hobby space. A long, gated driveway enhances privacy and allows for generous parking.
Hurst Farm House represents a rare opportunity to acquire a lifestyle home of quality and scale in one of Surrey’s most desirable settings. With its elegant interiors, extensive land and versatile ancillary accommodation, it offers a compelling blend of comfort, privacy and convenience.
Location
Jacobs Well enjoys a peaceful semi rural position on the northern edge of Guildford, surrounded by the River Wey, open countryside and a series of protected green spaces. The village lies approximately 3 miles from Guildford town centre, offering convenient access to the town’s extensive shopping, dining and cultural amenities while maintaining a quiet, rural character.
The surrounding landscape provides excellent opportunities for outdoor pursuits. The River Wey and its Navigation form an attractive natural boundary to the east of the village, offering riverside footpaths, wildlife viewing and picturesque walking routes through meadows and floodplains. Whitmoor Common, the largest local green buffer to the west, presents wide ranging countryside walks, bridleways and open heathland to explore. This abundance of accessible countryside makes Jacobs Well particularly appealing for those who enjoy walking, cycling and time spent outdoors.
Families have access to a broad choice of schools within Guildford and the surrounding area, including Burpham Primary School in nearby Burpham and Weyfield Primary Academy to the south of Jacobs Well. Secondary schooling is similarly well represented, with respected options such as George Abbot School in Merrow and Guildford County School close to the town centre. Independent provision is also notable, including Guildford High School and the Royal Grammar School, both located in central Guildford.
This blend of countryside calm, extensive walking routes, and excellent proximity to Guildford’s amenities and schooling makes Jacobs Well an especially attractive setting for family life.
