This substantial four-bedroom detached house on Shalford Road sits on a very large plot and offers generous, well-proportioned rooms across two storeys. Large picture windows and a pleasant, leafy outlook toward Shalford Park and Chantry Woods create bright, airy living spaces. The layout includes sitting and dining rooms, a study, kitchen/breakfast room, utility, boot room and an attached double garage — practical for family life.
The house has been in the same ownership since 1974 and is structurally sound, with cavity walls and double glazing; however, it now requires modernisation. Buyers should expect to replace the kitchen, both bathrooms and the utility/boot room to bring the property up to contemporary standards. Renovation presents an opportunity to increase value and adapt the home to current tastes while retaining its mid-century character.
Location is a key strength: walking distance to Guildford High Street, the mainline station (regular Waterloo services), and several highly regarded schools including outstanding-rated Pewley Down Infant and top-tier independent options nearby. Very low local crime, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband make the house suitable for commuters and families who need connectivity and convenience.
Practical considerations: freehold tenure, mains gas central heating, and a roomy double garage. Council tax is described as quite expensive, and buyers should factor renovation costs into their budget. Overall, this is a large, adaptable family home in an affluent, leafy part of Guildford with strong schooling and transport links — attractive to families wanting space and future uplift through refurbishment.
