Substantial and elegant Victorian family home, beautifully combining timeless period character with modern efficiency, set in a highly sought-after Guildford location
A substantial and beautifully presented Victorian family home, combining timeless character with impressive modern efficiency, set within a highly sought-after residential location in Guildford.
This elegant property retains a wealth of period features, including high ceilings, original proportions, and recently installed bespoke wooden sash windows, all of which enhance the natural light and charm throughout. The welcoming entrance hall, complete with attractive flooring and traditional detailing, sets the tone for this characterful home.
The ground floor offers generous and versatile family living space, including a spacious sitting room, a large family room, and an impressive open-plan kitchen/dining room ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. A separate utility room, study, and cloakroom provide additional practicality.
Arranged over the upper floors are five well-proportioned bedrooms, including a substantial principal bedroom, complemented by family bathroom facilities and additional flexible spaces such as a loft room and study area, ideal for working from home.
Celebrating all the charm and craftsmanship of its Victorian heritage, this distinctive home effortlessly combines period elegance with exceptional modern efficiency. Beneath the characterful exterior lies a thoughtfully upgraded property equipped for contemporary living, including a 14-panel 4kW solar system generating electricity via an inverter, complemented by a 13.5 kWh Tesla battery for intelligent energy storage.
There is also a 7kW EV charging point. Hot water is supplied by a Megaflow system with solar coil, further enhanced by evacuated solar tubes on the roof, providing an energy-efficient solution.
Rainwater is collected beneath the decking in a 6,000litre tank, complete with a pump system, to supply irrigation for the garden during the dry season.
Outside, a long private driveway provides parking for several vehicles and leads to detached garaging. A path continues to a private gate with direct access onto the Downs, offering exceptional opportunities for walking and outdoor recreation.
The remainder of the garden lies predominantly to the west and the front of the house, enjoying a sunny aspect with well-maintained lawns and an attractive putting green, creating a wonderful setting for both relaxation and entertaining.
This is a rare opportunity to acquire a character-filled yet energy-efficient Victorian residence, perfectly balancing heritage charm with contemporary sustainability, all within easy reach of Guildford town centre, excellent schools, and transport links.
