St. Bartholomews Court, Guildford, GU1

"A well-arranged home with a raised terrace leading down to a private garden and open views across Charlotteville, positioned within a quiet, sought-after residential development close to the town centre and Downs". Iwan Hall - Chantries and Pewleys

A spacious, modern home located in the sought after St Lukes development built by Crest Nicholson in 2000.

A short set of steps leads up to the front door, giving a sense of separation from the parking area and setting the tone on arrival.

Inside, the entrance hall provides a straightforward introduction to the house, with stairs rising ahead and the main rooms arranged around it. The layout naturally draws you through to the rear, where the house begins to open up.

The sitting room sits at the back of the property and is the focal point of the ground floor. French doors bring in natural light and open directly onto a raised terrace, creating an immediate connection to the garden and pulling the view across Charlotteville into the room. The space is easy to arrange, with a clear area for both seating and everyday use.

From here, the flow continues through to the kitchen at the front. An opening between the two spaces keeps them visually connected, allowing light to pass through while still giving each area its own identity. The kitchen is arranged in a U-shape, giving a good run of worktop and storage on three sides, there is also room for a small breakfast table, making it a natural spot for informal meals or morning routines.

Also on the ground floor is a separate room which can adapt depending on need — working equally well as a study, dining room or occasional third bedroom — along with a WC off the hallway.

Upstairs, the feel shifts slightly, with the roofline shaping the space. Light filters in through Velux windows, giving both bedrooms a consistent, softer brightness throughout the day. The rear bedroom in particular benefits from the elevated outlook, with views stretching across the surrounding rooftops. A bathroom and eaves storage complete the first floor.

The connection to outside continues from the living space. The raised terrace sits directly off the sitting room and is positioned to take in the view, while steps lead down to a second level of garden below. This lower section is more enclosed, with planting and a mature tree creating a sense of privacy. The property also benefits from allocated parking and visitors parking. 

The result is a home that flows naturally from front to back, with light and level changes adding interest and making the most of its elevated position.

Local Area

Situated in the St Luke’s development, a very convenient and highly sought after location, close to the Downs and the town centre and within walking distance of all of Guildford’s excellent amenities. Situated on the development is a GP surgery and pharmacy, a nursery school, and a large green and play park. The wide-open spaces of the Downs are easily accessible via a nearby footpath in Warren Road and the historic cobbled High Street, with all its excellent shops and restaurants and bars, is also within easy walking distance.

A real bonus of the locality is the close proximity to a number of Guildford’s highly regarded schools.
