Summary - 33 WOOD STREET GREEN WOOD STREET VILLAGE GUILDFORD GU3 3DU
5 bed 3 bath Detached
Spacious period property with extensive grounds and strong commuter links.
Grade II listed five-bedroom detached house from late 1500s
Nightingale Old Farm is a rare Grade II listed five-bedroom detached home occupying almost 4 acres of beautifully maintained grounds in Wood Street Village. The house retains many original features — exposed oak beams, inglenook fireplaces and quarry tile floors — and offers generously proportioned reception rooms, a fitted kitchen/breakfast room and extensive bedroom space across three floors. The master suite includes built-in wardrobes and attractive beam work, while rear bedrooms enjoy garden views and front rooms overlook the village green.
The setting is a principal strength: semi-rural, with immediate access to open countryside for walking and cycling, close to village amenities including an outstanding infant school, pubs and a convenience shop, and within easy reach of Worplesdon and Brookwood stations for commuter routes into London. A substantial gravel driveway, outbuildings and a large Victorian greenhouse support a variety of uses including grazing, hobby farming or extensive gardening.
Buyers should note material constraints: Grade II listed status restricts alterations and may complicate maintenance or modernization. The property dates from the late 1500s and, while well cared for, will carry ongoing upkeep and conservation responsibilities. Council tax is very expensive. The wider area statistics show mixed socio-economic indicators despite the desirable location.
This home will suit buyers seeking historic character, generous land and a village lifestyle — families wanting access to strong schools, or buyers looking for a distinctive period residence with scope for managed improvement within listed-building constraints. Practical considerations around listed consent and maintenance budgets should be factored into any purchase decision.
