Wodeland Avenue, Guildford, Surrey, GU2

Set in one of Guildford’s most sought-after residential roads, this substantial and characterful detached home comes to the market for the first time in many years, offering a rare opportunity to acquire a property of both scale and flexibility within easy reach of Guildford County School and the mainline railway station. The current owners have successfully operated the house as a bed and breakfast, and it now presents an exciting prospect for a variety of buyers, whether as a spacious family home or for those seeking income potential, all offered with the added advantage of no onward chain.

The property sits proudly on its plot with an attractive brick façade, framed by mature planting and a sweeping in-and-out driveway providing extensive parking and access to two garages. Enjoying an elevated position with views across the Downs to the front, the house has a wonderful sense of light and openness from the outset.

Internally, the accommodation is extensive and well-proportioned, with a natural flow that lends itself equally well to family living and guest accommodation. The ground floor provides a range of reception spaces including a bright and welcoming sitting room, a separate dining room with bay window, and a cosy snug, alongside a study ideal for home working. The kitchen sits at the heart of the house, with adjoining utility space and direct access to the garage, offering excellent scope for modernisation or reconfiguration if desired.

Upstairs, the property continues to impress with a generous number of bedrooms arranged over two floors, providing flexibility for growing families or those wishing to continue a hospitality use. Several bedrooms enjoy elevated outlooks, and there are multiple bath and shower facilities already in place, reflecting its previous use. The layout also offers excellent potential to reconfigure to suit individual needs.

To the rear, the garden is a particular feature, backing directly onto school playing fields and therefore enjoying a high degree of privacy and an open, green backdrop. The garden itself has been professionally landscaped, split into two levelled areas, with a sweeping lawn, established borders and seating areas, creating a peaceful setting ideal for outdoor entertaining or quiet enjoyment. A charming outbuilding, currently used as a summer house, adds further versatility.

Combining a peaceful prime location, generous accommodation and a long history of careful ownership, this is a home of real substance and opportunity, ready for its next chapter.
