About this property

  • Bowden Cottage is an attractive Grade II listed town house with wonderful accommodation presented over four floors. The property is understood to date from 1830 and the current owners, who have been in residence for over 35 years, have maintained the property to an exceptionally high standard.

    There are two spacious and light adjoining reception rooms and a useful study area with an attached cloakroom.

    The beautifully appointed kitchen is very much the heart of the home, filled with natural light from the lantern skylight and fitted with modern built in appliances and a central island. Doors open on to the delightful private terrace leading to the garden.

    Bedroom accommodation is well planned with three bedrooms on the first floor and a family bathroom. On the second floor is a large double bedroom with built-in wardrobes and an en suite.

    A particular feature is the self contained annexe on the lower ground floor with both a private entrance and access from inside the main residence. To the rear is a cellar / store.

    The garden has been thoughtfully designed and well kept with an array of shrubs, plants and flowers, providing colour from spring through to autumn. There are several pleasant seating areas and this space is tranquil and serene.

    To the front of the property is a driveway with parking space for up to three vehicles.

I think the proximity to Guildford High Street and London Road station are second to none.
