5 bed detached house for sale

Sutton Green, Guildford, Surrey GU4

Sutton Green House is a wonderful period home discreetly tucked away in the heart of Sutton Green village, set amidst beautifully maintained 1.7-acre south-facing gardens and grounds. Dating originally from the 16th Century and encased in 18th and 20th Century additions, the house has been thoughtfully and comprehensively refurbished by the current owners to meet modern-day expectations while preserving its historic charm. Approached via a private road, Foxes Path, through large electric gates, the property opens onto a gravel driveway that sweeps round to a large parking area and a substantial annexe, offering both an elegant approach and excellent flexibility.

Internally, the house has been adapted to suit the owners’ specifications, including the creation of an impressive master bedroom suite complete with dressing area and en-suite bathroom. The accommodation extends to just over 3,900 sq ft, including a beautifully presented self-contained annexe with an open-plan kitchen, living and dining space on the ground floor, and a well-proportioned bedroom and bathroom above.

The main house is arranged with multiple reception areas including a welcoming sitting room, formal living room, and a large kitchen/dining room that spans the rear of the property and opens to the garden, offering a perfect space for family living and entertaining. Additional features include a utility room, boot room, and store, along with four further bedrooms and two bathrooms across the upper floors. The entire property has undergone a complete electrical rewire with new independent phases, all-new plumbing and upgraded water mains installation, and has been moved from private drainage to mains drainage. Heating is provided by an oil-fired boiler system with a new tank supply.

The gardens are a particular highlight of Sutton Green House. They are immaculately landscaped with expanses of lawn, flowering borders, and mature hedging offering privacy and structure. A focal point is the ornamental fountain at the front, which sets a formal tone, while to the side, a walled garden offers a more secluded space. Within this area is a peaceful walled rose garden complete with a koi pond, providing a tranquil sanctuary. A stylish hydro pool swim spa and pergola area provide a luxurious retreat for outdoor enjoyment throughout the year. The property is surrounded by private land and woodlands, making it especially appealing for those seeking complete seclusion and privacy.

The location combines countryside serenity with commuter convenience. Sutton Green lies within the Green Belt, surrounded by farmland, the Wey Navigation, and areas of common land that are perfect for walking and wildlife spotting. The village itself is vibrant, with a strong community spirit supported by the Sutton Green Association, two churches, and regular events at the village hall. Residents benefit from amenities including The Olive Tree pub, two garden centres with farm shops, and a nearby Sainsbury’s at Burpham. Excellent transport links are available, with Woking station just 2.7 miles away (from 23 minutes to London Waterloo), Guildford station 4.2 miles (from 32 minutes), and convenient access to the A3 and M25.

Sutton Green House offers a rare opportunity to acquire a turnkey home that is rich in character, modern in function, and beautifully positioned within one of Surrey’s most sought-after villages.
