Description

This property is positioned advantageously on the fringe of the Merrow Downs, surrounded by expansive countryside ideal for walking and cycling enthusiasts. The home presents considerable potential for a new owner to undertake modernization efforts and customize it to their style. The garden, garage, and driveway serve as strong assets for future enhancements. The layout features two distinct reception rooms; the sitting room at the front boasts a large bay window for ample natural light and views of the front garden, while the dining room at the back provides direct access to the garden through French doors, enhancing indoor-outdoor living during warmer seasons. The kitchen overlooks the rear garden and includes fitted units that offer practical workspace and storage solutions, as well as an exit leading outside that opens up possibilities for reconfiguration or expansion in subsequent renovations. Upstairs accommodates three bedrooms—two spacious doubles and a single that can easily serve as a nursery or study—along with a family bathroom equipped with essential fixtures. The private driveway leads to a garage offering off-street parking and extra storage space. The sizable rear garden has plenty of room for landscaping or other improvements, with mature boundaries ensuring privacy. Given the plot's size, there is also potential for extending the property, contingent on obtaining appropriate planning permissions. Merrow shops are conveniently nearby with an array of local amenities including an M&S store. Educational institutions in close proximity include highly-rated schools such as Merrow Infant School and George Abbot School. Outdoor activities abound at Merrow Downs and Guildford Golf Club, both within walking distance. Guildford town centre is merely two miles away, featuring a diverse selection of leisure options such as restaurants, theaters, and shopping facilities. Transport access is robust, with regular buses to Guildford and two train stations providing swift connections to London Waterloo in approximately 37 minutes. Additionally, proximity to the A3 allows easy travel towards the M25 motorway and major airports like Gatwick and Heathrow.
