Tucked in central Guildford, 12 Mary Road is a spacious four-bedroom detached home arranged over three floors, designed for family life and flexible working. The ground floor opens to a bay-window sitting room, separate family/media room and a striking open-plan kitchen/dining space with high ceilings and a central island — ideal for entertaining and everyday living. A utility room and cloakroom complete this level.
Upstairs provides three well-proportioned bedrooms and a family bathroom, while the top floor is dedicated to a generous principal suite with dressing area, en suite and a Juliet balcony overlooking the rear garden. The landscaped garden, terrace and summer house/garden studio create useful outdoor living and a private home‑office opportunity. Off-street parking and an electric vehicle charging point add modern convenience.
Practical notes: the house dates from the early 20th century and has solid brick walls (assumed uninsulated), double glazing installed post‑2002, gas central heating with radiators and partial underfloor heating, and an EPC rating of C. The property is freehold and of average overall size for the area, with a decent plot and good broadband and mobile coverage.
Important drawbacks you should know: the location has a high flood risk and recorded very high local crime levels — these are material considerations for insurance and security. The solid-wall construction may require insulation upgrades for long-term energy efficiency. Overall this will suit a family seeking central Guildford convenience with scope to personalise and future-proof the fabric of the house.
