8 Longdown Road,GUILDFORD,GU4 8PP
GU4 8PP
6 bed 1 bath Plot
Estate-scale site for a large contemporary family home near Guildford.
About 1.24 acres with elevated south-facing views
A rare 1.24-acre elevated plot on one of Guildford’s premier roads, offering spectacular south-facing views over open countryside and the Surrey Hills AONB. The existing chalet-style house provides substantial footprint (about 4,662 sq ft) and immediate driveway parking, a double garage and extensive terraces that take full advantage of the outlook.
This is equally a family home and a development opportunity. The current layout includes six bedrooms, two reception rooms and just one bathroom, so buyers should expect significant internal upgrading or a complete redevelopment (planning subject to the usual conditions). The site’s scale and privacy suit an expansive contemporary family residence, ancillary buildings, or a high-value refurbishment with substantial uplift potential.
Practical considerations are straightforward: freehold tenure, no flood risk and low local crime, but broadband is slow and council tax is described as quite expensive. The property sits under two miles from Guildford town centre and stations, so you get countryside tranquillity with easy access to schools, shops and rail links to London.
Viewed honestly, this plot will suit buyers seeking a substantial country home or developers looking for a premier edge-of-town site. Expect renovation costs or a planning process; in return you gain an exceptional position, generous grounds and long-range scenic views that are hard to replicate in the area.
