Summary - 5 TESTARD ROAD GUILDFORD GU2 4JT
4 bed 2 bath Semi-Detached
Town-centre location with quick rail links and low-maintenance garden.
About 1,300 sq ft of light-filled, flexible accommodation
A sensitively modernised Edwardian family home arranged over three floors, offering light-filled living and flexible space for family life and entertaining. The house blends period character—bay window, high ceilings, fireplaces—with contemporary finishes including a refitted kitchen, utility and modern bathrooms. At about 1,300 sq ft, the layout suits a growing family seeking town-centre convenience with quick rail links to central London.
Practical benefits include a fitted utility room, integrated Bosch appliances, solid oak flooring to principal rooms and double glazing installed after 2002. The lower ground floor has separate access and a self-contained feel, giving clear potential for an annexe or home office subject to adding external steps and appropriate permissions. The rear garden is landscaped and low-maintenance with terraces, decking and established screening for outdoor dining and play.
Notable considerations: the plot is small and the garden is split-level, which may not suit buyers wanting extensive lawns. A lower ground bedroom and reception are partly below street level, so buyers should note natural light and internal step changes. The property’s solid brick walls date from circa 1900 and are assumed to have no cavity insulation; purchasers wanting high thermal performance may consider retrofit insulation works. Council tax is moderate and there is no flooding risk.
Location is a strong selling point for families: within easy walking distance of Guildford station (around 0.3 miles), good state and independent schools nearby, shops, parks and riverside walks. The house is freehold and presented in move-in-ready condition, offering a balance of ready-to-enjoy living with clear scope to personalise or extend subject to planning.
