George Road, Guildford, GU1

"What you notice straight away is how well the modern updates sit alongside the original character. The kitchen extension completely changes how the house is used day to day, and the basement adds flexibility without feeling disconnected from the rest of the home. It feels practical, settled and easy to live in". Pippa Barnes — Chantries & Pewleys

From the street, this Victorian terrace has a smart, understated presence. Step inside and the balance between character and modern living becomes clear. Simple detailing and a calm colour palette give the house a grounded feel, while the layout has been carefully adapted to suit everyday life.

The ground floor centres around a long living space that works comfortably for both relaxing and dining, with good ceiling height and natural light filtering through. To the rear, the kitchen extension creates a bright, open place to cook and gather. Clean-lined cabinetry, a central island and wide glazed doors draw you straight out to the garden, making this the natural heart of the home. It’s a space that works just as well for quiet mornings as it does for friends round at the weekend.

Upstairs, the bedrooms are well-sized and calmly finished, with a family bathroom serving the first floor and a further bathroom on the upper level. Each room feels practical and adaptable, whether used for sleeping, working or guests. The basement adds valuable flexibility, ideal for storage, a home gym or a tucked-away workspace.

Outside, the rear garden offers a private, low-maintenance setting with space for seating and planting. The detached outbuilding provides useful additional space, well suited to a home office, studio or secure storage. Altogether, this is a home that combines character, clarity and modern comfort in a very convenient Guildford setting.
