6 bed detached house for sale

White Lane, Guildford, Surrey GU4

Knight Frank are pleased to offer this rare opportunity to purchase a stunning home in one of Guildford's best roads. Perfectly located just 1.7 miles from Guildford's upper high street offering all the convenience of town living, yet the idyllic feeling of being in the middle of the country. The house makes the most of its stunning position with all the principal rooms facing south, each enjoying the magnificent views of open countryside.

The accommodation extends to over 4,700 square feet, and is arranged primarily over three floors. On entering, the house opens into a welcoming entrance hallway with the principal reception rooms leading from this space. The drawing room occupies the left-side of the house with dual aspect and sliding doors which open to a covered loggia. A useful study connects to this room, and adjacent to the drawing room is the dining room with a bay window and a door that leads out directly to the expansive entertaining terrace and garden beyond. The kitchen features a central island and an adjacent dining area, ideal for casual everyday dining. The utility room is found off the kitchen in a link which has been created between the principal reception space and the gym with connecting garage. This is a superb space with double height glass and a sky-lantern that allows natural light to flood the room. There is an excellent galleried landing that creates an additional seating area that leads through to the self contained office/studio, which could be used as a guest bedroom with en suite shower room. Adjoining the gym is an oak-framed sun room with sliding doors that lead out to the lower tier of the terrace.

The first floor has excellent bedroom accommodation, with a generous sized principal bedroom, dressing room and en suite bathroom, oriented to benefit from the southern views over the garden from the private balcony. There are three further bedrooms on this floor, all of a consistently good size, with fitted wardrobes and two of which share a Jack-and-Jill bathroom. There is an additional family bathroom on this floor, and the second floor comprises two further bedrooms and a shower room.

The house is set back from the quiet road and accessed through wooden gates. There is a large driveway to the front of the property with a carport for two cars. The rear garden is a particularly fine feature of this impressive home with stunning views across to St Martha's Hill. Adjacent to the house is a large entertaining terrace with a loggia and a dining area on a lower level next to an attractive pond. A secluded terrace sits beside the drawing room and is the perfect extension of this space outside. The garden is a wonderful and tranquil place to relax with an array of mature hedging, trees and stunning specimen plants and flowers throughout. The garden has been cleverly landscaped to create a large flat level which is mainly laid to lawn. There is also a vegetable patch, screened from the house by hedging and there is a greenhouse in this area.
