Hallam Road, Godalming, GU7 3HW

“The location is an important part of this house. Being within a level walk of the High Street makes day-to-day trips into town straightforward, while the no-through road keeps the immediate setting away from passing traffic. The layout also gives you more separation than you might expect. There is a sitting room at the front and a good-sized dining room behind it, so the two main reception spaces can serve quite different purposes. The kitchen is at the rear, with doors taking you directly into the garden.  Upstairs, the two larger bedrooms sit at opposite ends of the house, with the third bedroom and bathroom between them. It is a straightforward arrangement that makes good use of the available space.” Andrew Blagden, Chantries & Pewleys

The Setting
Set within a no-through road, the house combines a more tucked-away position with the practical advantage of being within a convenient level walk of the High Street. It is a particularly useful location for anyone wanting to reach the town on foot without relying on the car for everyday trips. There are schools and nurseries within walking distance ,as well as major supermarket chains. There is easy access onto the River Wey Navigation which provides access to beautiful walks along the tow path.

The sitting room occupies the front of the house. A broad bay window brings natural light into the room, while the fireplace provides a clear focal point and gives the furniture a natural position around it. Behind this is the dining room, measuring approximately 12' x 12'. Its square proportions give enough width for a substantial dining table without taking over the room, and the photographs show how comfortably it can accommodate additional freestanding furniture.

The kitchen extends across the rear of the house, with units and work surfaces arranged along both sides.  There is useful preparation space as well as room for the main appliances. Windows along the side bring in additional daylight, while glazed doors at the far end open straight onto the rear garden, which is particularly appealing in the warmer weather.  

There are three bedrooms on the first floor. Bedroom one sits at the front and measures approximately 12' x 11'5", with built-in storage shown on the floorplan. There are two further bedrooms and a bathroom. 

Outside
The rear garden is enclosed and largely paved, creating practical areas for a table and outdoor seating without requiring extensive maintenance.  Established planting around the boundaries softens the space and provides greenery around the seating areas.  A timber garden building provides useful additional storage.
