A handsome Victorian semi detached cottage on Merrow Lane, offered freehold and well suited to family life. The house retains period features — ornate fireplaces, timber porch and traditional mantels — while providing practical living with a spacious reception, separate dining room and a large top-floor principal bedroom with en-suite. Driveway parking for two and a generous, well-kept garden add immediate outdoor appeal.
The property sits in a very low-crime, affluent area within easy reach of Merrow and Burpham villages, good state and independent schools, green spaces and fast road links to the A3 and Guildford. For buyers who need connectivity, ultrafast broadband is available locally, with generally reliable mobile signal.
There is scope to update and extend (subject to planning), so the house will particularly suit a family seeking character with potential to add value. Note some practical upkeep and energy considerations: the cavity walls are assumed uninsulated, the double glazing dates from before 2002 and council tax is above average — buyers should factor refurbishment and energy-efficiency improvements into budgets.
Overall this is a characterful, well-located family home with room to modernise and expand, offering long-term potential in a sought-after Merrow neighbourhood. The asking price reflects its size, position and period charm.
