6 bed semi-detached house for sale

Portsmouth Road, Guildford GU2

Rectory Place is very conveniently situated on the south-west side of Guildford's town centre and is within walking distance of all of the town's fantastic amenities. The main line station is only a ten minute's walk away with its regular commuter service to Waterloo and the historic High Street is a similar distance via an attractive walk over the river and alongside the Yvonne Arnaud theatre. Here there are many fine shops, restaurants, coffee shops, bars and pubs. The River Wey towpath is also nearby providing lovely riverside walks and the Downs are easily accessible at The Mount. All of Guildford's popular schools are accessible on foot, including St Nicolas Infant School which is almost opposite, making the location an ideal lifestyle choice.

Rectory Place was designed by the well known Victorian architect Richard Norman Shaw and was built in around 1883 with all the features of its period, including tall ceilings and large bay windows with leaded light windows, and it is now Grade II Listed. All three properties were once a tutorial college, running from 1947 to 1988 and the present owners bought 2 Rectory Place in 1996 when it was subsequently converted back to three properties. Arranged over four floors, the accommodation comprises three bedrooms and a bathroom on the top floor, which could easily be used as a self-contained flat as there is also a kitchenette, three bedrooms and a bathroom on the first floor and two reception rooms and a kitchen and cloakroom on the ground floor. The lower ground floor comprises a further reception room with glazed door to the garden, a work room, utility room and further cloakroom. All the rooms on each floor can be used in a number of different ways, according to a family's individual requirements, so the entire layout of the accommodation is very flexible. The house is very tall and there are therefore lovely views over the town from the rear windows. Outside there is a lovely town garden with summerhouse and at the front there is parking for two cars with an ev charging point.
