Guildford, Surrey GU1

Situated on the highly desirable Gateways in Guildford, this charming detached home, built in the 1930s, blends timeless character with a fresh, well-kept interior and a wonderfully functional layout. The house has been thoughtfully maintained to preserve its original charm, featuring beautiful stained glass windows, original wooden floors, and a striking feature fireplace — all hallmarks of its period.

The spacious entrance hall leads into an elegant living room where the large fireplace provides a stunning focal point. The kitchen/breakfast room is bright and generously proportioned, flowing effortlessly into the conservatory, which overlooks the garden and fills the space with natural light.

A formal dining room offers space for entertaining, and a separate office at the front of the house provides a peaceful work-from-home environment.

Upstairs, five well-sized bedrooms offer great versatility for family life. The principal bedroom is particularly generous, and each room is tastefully presented. The bathrooms are bright and practical, and the layout overall feels calm, balanced, and easy to live in.

Additional features include a utility room and garage, enhancing the practicality of the home, while the whole property retains a strong sense of its 1930s heritage, with thoughtful touches throughout.

The location is exceptional — just off Epsom Road and within walking distance of Guildford’s historic High Street, where a fantastic range of shops, cafés, restaurants, and both weekly and monthly markets can be found. The rolling open spaces of the Downs are close by, offering miles of scenic walks, while Guildford’s mainline station is easily accessible by foot. Families are spoilt for choice with excellent schools nearby, including the Royal Grammar School, Tormead, Guildford High School, St Peter’s, St Thomas of Canterbury, and Boxgrove Primary.
