Macdowall Road, Guildford, GU2

The light through the living space and conservatory really sets this house apart, creating a bright connection to the garden. Add the garage, three-storey layout and all the amenities Queen Elizabeth Park has close by, there’s a lot to like for first time buyers, growing familes and downsizers alike.

Set within the established Queen Elizabeth Park development, this three-bedroom semi-detached home is arranged over three floors, with a light-filled living space, private garden, garage and driveway parking.

The entrance hallway leads through to the main living and dining space at the rear, where the layout draws naturally towards the conservatory and garden beyond. The conservatory is a particularly strong feature. Its extra height and generous glazing allow natural light to flood in, creating an impressive extension of the living space with room for a dining table and doors opening directly onto the garden. The separate kitchen sits to the front of the house, with extensive fitted cabinetry and space for a breakfast table. A ground-floor cloakroom completes this level.

Two bedrooms are positioned on the first floor alongside the family bathroom. The principal bedroom occupies the top floor, giving it greater separation from the rest of the accommodation, with a dressing area, storage and an en suite shower room on the same level.

Outside, the rear garden begins with a paved seating area before opening into the main garden, with established planting and a mature tree towards the rear. It provides a good foundation for the next owner to shape the space around how they want to use it. The attached garage is an added advantage, providing valuable storage or potential space for hobbies and practical projects, alongside driveway parking.

For a first-time buyer looking for a house they can make their own, or someone downsizing who still wants space, a garden and a garage, there is a lot to like.

The location adds considerably to the appeal. Queen Elizabeth Park offers 57 acres of established green space, with Tesco Express, Nuffield Health and a children’s nursery within the development. Whitmoor Common is nearby, while Guildford town centre, the A3 and rail connections towards London Waterloo are all within easy reach.
