Set within the St Catherine’s conservation area, this Grade II listed terraced cottage from the 1880s blends Arts & Crafts character with comfortable living. A generous front reception room centres on a fireplace with a log-burning stove; exposed timber framing and period detailing give the house strong visual appeal. The fitted kitchen/dining room opens to a private paved courtyard with two patio areas and a brick outbuilding with power, ideal for storage or a small studio.
The accommodation is arranged over two floors with two double bedrooms and a spacious family bathroom upstairs. Built-in bedroom storage and a ground-floor shower room plus utility space add practicality for everyday life. Off-street parking for one car is provided to the front, with additional on-street parking nearby.
Practical considerations are presented plainly: the property has listed status, which will restrict alterations and may complicate maintenance or extensions. Walls appear to be original cavity construction with no insulation (assumed) and windows have secondary glazing rather than full modern double glazing. Council tax is above average and local crime levels are above average.
For buyers seeking period character close to Guildford town centre and the mainline station, this cottage offers a rare combination of history, convenient town living and easy access to countryside routes. It is well presented now but best suited to purchasers comfortable with the responsibilities and limitations of a listed home.
