Oxford Road, Guildford, GU1

"This is a superbly presented 2-3 bedroom semi-detached home, ideally located in the heart of town. Thoughtfully upgraded by the current owners, the house offers stylish interiors, a re-fitted kitchen and bathroom, and a private courtyard garden — all within easy reach of local shops, cafés and Guildford station".  Iwan Hall - Chantries and Pewleys

The sitting room sits at the front of the house and is centred around the square bay window, which brings in natural light and gives the room a wider feel. The proportions are generous and the ceiling height adds to the sense of space. Herringbone flooring runs through the ground floor, providing warmth and continuity. The staircase rises from the inner hall, creating a natural division between the front reception space and the rooms beyond.

The second reception room is positioned to the rear. Currently arranged as a play and enjoys direct access to the garden. Its layout makes it a versatile space — equally suited as a formal dining room, family room, or a ground floor bedroom if needed.

The kitchen has been thoughtfully refitted with shaker-style cabinetry complemented by solid wood worktops. Units with integrated appliances run along both sides of the room, offering preparation space and excellent storage. A window along one side brings in natural light, while recessed ceiling lighting keeps the space bright. At the far end of the kitchen is space for a dining table, positioned beside double doors that open directly onto the courtyard garden. This arrangement works particularly well for everyday dining and creates an easy connection between inside and outside during warmer months.

The first floor is arranged around a central landing, with two double bedrooms and the family bathroom. The principal bedroom is a double that spans the front of the house and mirrors the bay window below with an elevated outlook across the town. The second bedroom overlooks the rear and is another well-proportioned double. It works equally well as a guest room, nursery or home office.

The bathroom has been beautifully upgraded and includes a bath with shower over. Feature tiling to the shower wall adds texture and detail, complemented by soft-toned wall finishes and patterned floor tiles. 

The courtyard garden can be accessed from both the kitchen and the second reception room, making it a natural extension of the ground floor living space. Designed for low maintenance, the garden is mainly paved and enclosed by brick walls and fencing, creating a private setting. The garden also benefits from side access. There is ample room for outdoor seating and dining, making it well suited to entertaining on a summer evening or enjoying a quiet morning coffee.
