Description

Originally constructed in 1949 and thoughtfully extended and updated over time, the property now offers over 4,100 sq ft of flexible, well-considered living space. At its heart lies a superb triple-aspect kitchen and dining area, filled with natural light and designed for modern family living and entertaining. Complete with a central island, bespoke cabinetry, integrated appliances, and an AGA, this space opens directly onto a sundrenched circular patio—perfect for alfresco dining while enjoying the uninterrupted views.

The main reception rooms are generously proportioned and positioned to make the most of the light and the west-facing outlook. A large sitting room, complete with a gas-burning stove, offers a warm and inviting space that flows beautifully with the rest of the home. A quiet study, located on the half-landing, provides a tranquil workspace with calming views across neighbouring fields.

One of the most impressive features of West Acre is the former indoor swimming pool—now transformed into a remarkable 52-foot studio space. With triple French doors opening to the gardens, an adjoining shower room, and expansive floor area, this highly versatile room lends itself perfectly to a variety of uses including a home gym, games room, leisure suite, or additional accommodation. Alternatively, should the incoming purchaser desire, the original swimming pool could be readily reinstated, returning the space to its former glory and creating a luxurious private wellness retreat.

Upstairs, the home offers four generous double bedrooms, each with its own en suite bath or shower room. The principal suite is a particular highlight, with a large bay window that frames the sweeping views, a substantial dressing area, and a beautifully appointed en suite bathroom.

West Acre is not just a home — it’s a rare opportunity to own one of Guildford’s finest properties, offering a lifestyle of space, privacy, and panoramic beauty.

West Acre occupies a position of true significance on the prestigious Guildown Road — one of Guildford’s most sought-after residential
addresses. Set high above the town, this exceptional home enjoys uninterrupted, panoramic views across the rolling hills and parkland of the historic Loseley Estate, offering a rare blend of natural beauty and privacy.

Just a short walk from the property lies The Mount, a beloved local vantage point. From here, you can experience some of the most breathtaking views in Surrey — stretching across Guildford and, on a clear day, reaching as far as London’s skyline.

Guildown Road is renowned not only for its exclusivity, but also for its welcoming community atmosphere. The property is ideally positioned for access to excellent schooling — including outstanding independent options such as the Royal Grammar School and Guildford High School for Girls, as well as leading state schools like Guildford County School. The location also offers excellent connectivity, with easy access to the mainline train station and Guildford High Street, making it both peaceful and practical.

In every respect, this is a truly special property — offering not only outstanding views and location, but a lifestyle rarely available in central Guildford.
