The Mount, Guildford, GU1

"Tucked just off one of Guildford’s most established roads, this is a rare duplex apartment that feels far more like a house. With its own private courtyard, generous reception space, lower ground floor accommodation and residents’ parking, it offers both scale and privacy within easy walking distance of the station and town centre". Chris Dean - Chantries and Pewleys

Set just off one of Guildford’s most established residential roads, this duplex apartment occupies a substantial portion of an imposing period building and offers far more space than most buyers expect.

You enter into a central hallway, immediately aware of the ceiling height and original detailing that gives the property its presence.

To the front is the main sitting room. This is a generous, well-balanced space with abundant natural light from the large windows and centred around a marble fireplace with inset log burner. 

An arched opening connects through to the dining room. This works particularly well for entertaining, keeping the rooms distinct but linked. Large windows look out onto the private rear courtyard drawing in the light.

The kitchen sits just beyond and introduces a more contemporary tone. Deep blue cabinetry contrasts with exposed brickwork and industrial-style lighting. A solid return provides preparation space and informal seating, making it a practical everyday kitchen rather than just a showpiece. Doors open out onto the rear courtyard.

There are four bedrooms in total. The principal bedroom is generous, with fitted storage and an en-suite shower room. This room also benefits from a door to the terraced garden and a light, elevated outlook. 

The additional bedrooms offer flexibility for family use, guests or working from home and bedroom two has a door to the private rear courtyard. A modern family bathroom compliments the accommodation on this level.

The lower ground floor provides valuable additional space. Whether used as a fourth bedroom, studio, cinema room or workspace, it adds a degree of versatility rarely found in apartments of this type. The lower ground floor, being self contained with a separate entrance, kitchenette and shower room could also provide an additional source of income. 

Outside, there are two distinct areas. The rear courtyard is enclosed by flint and brick walls, giving a sheltered and private setting for outdoor dining and entertaining. To the front, an elevated terrace provides additional seating space and a more open aspect — unusual for an apartment this close to town.
