Linersh Wood Close, Bramley, Guildford

Set on arguably the most desirable road in Bramley, Tracery is a much-loved five-bedroom detached home with a rich local history and a wonderfully versatile layout. Designed in 1959 by the current owner—and built by respected local builder J.A. Parsons, the house was constructed using red bricks sourced from nearby Smithbrook Kilns, adding to its authentic charm and character.

A spacious hallway links all the principal rooms on the ground floor, where the layout is both warm and welcoming. The dual-aspect living room features a bay window to the front, patio doors to the rear, a gas fireplace, and a study area tucked away at the back. The front-facing dining room, also with a bay window, connects to the Beech Shaker-style kitchen via a serving hatch. The kitchen/breakfast room is fitted with laminated worktops, a stainless steel sink and drainer, and has provision for freestanding white goods. Both the living room and breakfast room open onto a covered seating area—perfect for enjoying the garden in all seasons.

Upstairs, there are five bedrooms. The master bedroom includes built-in storage and a wash basin, while the second bedroom is a generous double with additional built-in wardrobes. Bedrooms three and four are also doubles, with the fourth currently used as a hobby room. The fifth bedroom, a single, is ideal as a study or nursery. A family bathroom with bath and basin is complemented by a separate WC and an additional wash basin.

The tandem garage, equipped with power and lighting, has long served as a workshop. There is also an external WC and wash basin for added convenience. The front garden is laid to lawn with mature planting, and a gravel driveway provides ample parking for multiple vehicles. To the rear, the south-westerly facing garden is a true highlight. Extending to approximately 135 feet, it backs directly onto the Downs Link, a former railway line now popular with walkers and cyclists, with gated access from the garden. In the early 1960s, the owners’ children would wave to passing trains from the top of the garden—a tradition fondly remembered. Today, the garden is beautifully tiered and thoughtfully landscaped, with mature borders that provide colour throughout the year, a greenhouse, potting sheds, and a peaceful seating area at the top, offering views back toward the house.

While the property has been lovingly maintained, Tracery now offers an exciting opportunity for modernisation, allowing the incoming owner to update and personalise the home to suit their own tastes and lifestyle.
