Chain free after 60+ years occupancy
Large 2,200 sq ft family layout with four bedrooms
South-facing, sloping garden with elevated treed outlook
Decommissioned pool with liner and electricity supply
Double garage, driveway parking and useful outbuilding
Requires full modernisation; kitchen and bathrooms dated
Solid brick walls likely uninsulated; glazing/boiler are older
Council tax noted as quite expensive
This substantial semi‑detached home on Guildown Road offers rare scale and period character on a large plot in one of Guildford’s most sought-after neighbourhoods. Built in 1911 and occupied by the same extended family for decades, the property arrives chain free and ready for a new chapter. Its 2,200 sq ft layout includes generous reception rooms, four bedrooms and flexible living spaces well suited to family life.
The south‑facing rear garden slopes away from the house, providing privacy, mature planting and an elevated outlook. A decommissioned pool with liner and electrics presents choice — reinstate, repurpose or remove — while the double garage, driveway parking and useful outbuilding deliver substantial practical storage. The house benefits from mains gas central heating and double glazing, but both are dated.
Significant modernisation is required throughout. The property is recorded as having one bathroom and needs kitchen and bathroom upgrades, possible insulation work (solid brick walls assumed uninsulated), and general renovation to meet contemporary standards. Council tax is described as quite expensive, and the glazing/boiler are older installations that may require attention.
For families, the location is a major draw: outstanding and highly regarded schools nearby, quick access to Guildford town centre, good transport links to London, and proximity to green spaces like the Surrey Hills. This is a high‑potential project for buyers seeking a roomy period home in an affluent area, willing to invest in improvement to unlock long‑term value.
