Park Road, Guildford, GU1

"This carefully renovated Victorian home is arranged over four floors, centred around an incredible south-facing kitchen and dining space that naturally becomes the heart of the house. Skylights and wide bi-fold doors draw in consistent light, while the island and open layout make it an easy place for friends and family to gather". Chris Dean - Chantries and Pewleys

This Victorian house has been carefully renovated and extended to create a practical, light-filled home arranged over four floors.

The front reception room retains a sense of character, centred around a wood-burning stove set within the chimney recess. Built-in cabinetry and shelving provide useful storage, and shutters frame the window. 

The rear of the house has been opened up to form a generous kitchen, dining and family space. A central island anchors the room, with seating on one side and integrated appliances set within clean-lined cabinetry. Skylights above and wide bi-fold doors across the rear elevation bring consistent natural light into the space throughout the day. There is room here for a dining table as well as a relaxed seating area, allowing the layout to adapt easily between everyday family life and entertaining. The connection to the garden is immediate, making the outside space feel like an extension of the room in warmer months.

On the lower ground floor, the basement has been converted into a bedroom providing valuable flexibility. It works equally well as a guest room, home office or hobby space.

The first floor offers two further bedrooms and the family bathroom. The bathroom is finished in a simple, contemporary style with metro tiling, patterned flooring and a bath with overhead shower. The bedrooms are well laid out doubles with neutral finishes and good natural light.

The top floor has been converted to create a principal bedroom suite. Set away from the other bedrooms, it provides a sense of separation and privacy. A shower room serves this level, making it a comfortable main bedroom or an ideal guest suite. 

Outside, the rear garden has been landscaped for ease of maintenance. A paved terrace sits directly outside the house, providing space for outdoor dining, with steps leading to a further seating area. Gravel borders and established planting soften the edges. The garden is enclosed with fencing and there is the added benefit of side access — particularly useful for bikes, bins and day-to-day practicality.
