5 bed detached house for sale

Broadwater Rise, Guildford, Surrey GU1

Offered to the market chain free. The Vinyard occupies an excellent position at the top end of Broadwater Rise with direct access onto the Merrow Downs. This Victorian home is very attractive with the front façade made from London Stock brick and new wood double-glazed sash windows throughout. The Vinyard retains many period features including stripped pine flooring throughout, cornicing, picture rails and ceiling roses to name a few.

On entering, the property opens into the welcoming entrance hall from which the principal living accommodation leads. To the right, the formal living room is found with double doors out to the garden, and to the opposite side of the hallway, the sitting room is found. This space connects to both a study and the kitchen/breakfast room. The kitchen and breakfast room has a high, vaulted ceiling with a large window that makes the room feel bright and spacious. The kitchen is fitted with a generous range of base and wall units with integrated appliances and a separate utility room sits adjacent to the kitchen. There is excellent space for dining, and double doors open out to the garden to extend the entertaining space outside for the summer months.

The bedroom accommodation is arranged over the first and second floors. All five bedrooms are well-proportioned, and there are two family bathrooms, both with separate WCs. There is additional storage, and access to eaves storage space from the first and second bedrooms.

The property is approached along a driveway with a fruit cage, before you reach the parking area and triple garage. The garden is very private with a wall separating it from the driveway on one side, and an established hedge border to the other with a selection of mature trees. Mainly laid to lawn, the garden has been thoughtfully divided into different, tiered sections. The top tier sits next to the house and is accessed from the kitchen/breakfast room and the living room, which opens to a playful putting green area. The second tier has a decked terrace to the end which enjoys a sunny aspect, and steps lead down to an area with raised beds, which would lend itself to become an excellent vegetable patch for those with green fingers.
