Gardner Road, Guildford, Surrey, GU1

This attractive red-brick Victorian detached home occupies a desirable position on Gardner Road, a highly convenient location within easy reach of Guildford town centre. The property is within walking distance of Guildford’s mainline station, providing fast services to London Waterloo in around 35 minutes, while the nearby High Street offers an excellent range of shops, restaurants, cafés and everyday amenities. The location also benefits from well-regarded local schools and easy access to nearby green spaces.

The house presents beautifully from the front, showcasing classic Victorian detailing with decorative brickwork and an elegant bay window. A driveway provides off-street parking for a small car, and leads to an integrated garage, offering valuable additional storage.

Inside, the property combines period charm with stylish modern improvements. The front door opens into a welcoming entrance hall with stairs rising to the first floor. To the front of the house is a bright and characterful reception room centred around a beautiful feature fireplace and framed by a large bay window that fills the room with natural light. High ceilings, wooden flooring and fitted shelving enhance the sense of warmth and character. Behind this is a second reception room, currently used as a snug, which offers a cosy and versatile space that could equally serve as a family room, study or additional bedroom. Like the main reception room, it features a striking character fireplace, reflecting the period charm found throughout the principal rooms of the house.

To the rear of the property is a superb open-plan kitchen and dining room that has been thoughtfully extended to create an impressive entertaining and family space. The kitchen is fitted with a range of contemporary shaker-style units, integrated appliances and generous work surfaces, complemented by open shelving and stylish lighting. A central island provides additional preparation space and informal seating, while the dining area sits beneath a striking glazed roof lantern that floods the room with natural light. Large bi-folding doors open directly onto the garden, creating a wonderful connection between indoor and outdoor living.

Upstairs, the first floor provides four well-proportioned bedrooms arranged around a central landing. The principal bedroom enjoys a pleasant outlook to the front through the bay window and benefits from its own ensuite shower room. The remaining bedrooms offer flexibility for family living, guests or home working. A modern family bathroom completes the first floor and is fitted with both a bath and a separate walk-in shower.

Outside, the rear garden is a wonderful feature of the home, offering a generous lawn bordered by mature planting and established trees which create a leafy and private backdrop. There is ample space for outdoor seating and family activities, while the mature greenery gives the garden a peaceful and secluded feel.
