Cardwells Keep, Guildford, Surrey, GU2

An extremely impressive two bedroom top floor apartment featuring an expansive private roof terrace with breathtaking 360-degree views across Guildford, the North Downs and the Surrey Hills. Forming part of the historic Cardwell’s Keep, built in 1876 as part of Stoughton Barracks, home to the Queen’s Royal Regiment, this landmark building was later converted into apartments. The property combines spacious accommodation with a remarkable outdoor space and residential parking.

The entrance hall provides useful storage and leads into a generous sitting/dining room. Tall windows on several aspects allow natural light to fill the room and frame far-reaching views over the surrounding area. There is ample space for both seating and a dining table, with high ceilings enhancing the sense of space.

Accessed from the sitting/dining room, the kitchen is fitted with a range of wood-fronted wall and base units, complemented by contrasting worktops and tiled splashbacks. An integrated oven and gas hob with an extractor above are provided, together with space for further appliances. A window above the sink enjoys an elevated outlook.

The spacious principal bedroom features windows on two aspects and fitted wardrobe storage. The second bedroom is currently arranged as a home office, providing flexibility for those working from home or requiring guest accommodation. The bathroom is fitted with a white suite comprising a bath, separate shower enclosure, pedestal washbasin and WC.

The private roof terrace is an exceptional feature, providing extensive space for outdoor dining, entertaining and relaxing against a panoramic backdrop. The elevated position takes in views of Guildford Cathedral, the town and the countryside beyond, while the building’s distinctive brickwork and turrets create a striking setting. A separate brick-built rooftop store provides useful additional storage.

Cardwell’s Keep is situated in the established residential area of Stoughton, conveniently placed for local shops, highly-regarded schools and access to Guildford town centre. Guildford offers a wide choice of shopping, restaurants and cafés, together with the Yvonne Arnaud Theatre, G Live and walks beside the River Wey.
