Description

This detached bungalow situated in Merrow offers a solid foundation for those with an eye for renovation and potential investment. Set back from the street, the property benefits from a tidy front garden and a convenient driveway that leads to a garage, providing essential off-street parking. Inside, the layout includes a spacious living room featuring a classic brick fireplace and glass doors that seamlessly connect to the rear garden, allowing ample natural light to fill the space. The kitchen is generously proportioned, offering sufficient room for appliances and culinary creativity. Adjacent to the kitchen, the dining room features large windows that present lovely views of the garden, contributing to a bright and inviting atmosphere. The ground floor also hosts a well-sized bedroom and bathroom, enhancing versatility for guests or those preferring single-level living arrangements. On the upper level, two additional bedrooms await, each equipped with built-in wardrobes and slanted ceilings that lend character to the space. Both rooms are also complemented by practical eaves storage, adding functionality to this charming bungalow. The rear garden stands out as one of the property’s key features; its generous size is framed by mature trees and hedges that provide both privacy and a serene outdoor retreat. With thoughtful modernisation efforts, this home has significant potential to evolve into an appealing family residence in a desirable Merrow neighborhood. The location is another advantage; nestled on a residential road with unrestricted parking, it offers easy access to Merrow Downs for scenic walks. Local amenities are within half a mile at the nearby shopping parade, while London Road railway station—approximately 1.5 miles away—provides connections to Waterloo for commuters. The property also allows for straightforward routes onto the A3 toward London and is conveniently located just two miles from Guildford's historic town centre, with its two train stations linking to Waterloo and various coastal destinations. This combination of features presents an enticing opportunity for renovation enthusiasts or investors seeking potential growth in value in this sought-after area.
