Description

This charming detached chalet bungalow in Burpham is set on a generous plot, featuring a private driveway with ample parking for 4 to 5 cars, a garage, and a beautifully maintained garden. The property boasts a versatile layout across two floors, offering comfortable family living while providing the opportunity for new owners to add their personal touch, with potential for extension subject to the usual planning permissions. The ground floor showcases a spacious living room adorned with striking wood herringbone flooring, complemented by a brick fireplace and dual aspect windows that flood the space with natural light. The kitchen is equipped with timeless wood shaker-style cabinets, providing excellent storage and workspace, making it ideal for everyday cooking and entertaining. Adjacent to the kitchen is a dedicated dining room, while the thoughtfully designed ground floor bathroom features a modern wet room setup with a large shower plate. Three well-proportioned bedrooms on this level are decorated in neutral tones, ready for easy personalization. On the upper floor, the principal bedroom stands out with its characterful exposed beams, built-in cupboards, and convenient access to eaves storage. It also includes an en-suite bathroom finished with white fittings and tiled walls, creating a clean and fresh atmosphere. Outside, the expansive rear garden is a highlight of the property. Mature hedges provide privacy, while established apple trees add seasonal charm. The lawn offers ample space for outdoor activities, gardening, or simply enjoying the surroundings, making it an ideal retreat for families and nature lovers alike. Burpham is a sought-after residential area conveniently located on the northeast side of Guildford, featuring an excellent selection of local shops, Sainsbury's and Aldi supermarkets, a doctor's surgery, dentist, and a pub. For more extensive amenities, Guildford High Street is just over 1.5 miles away. Stoke Park and the Spectrum Leisure Centre are within 0.5 to 0.75 miles, while Guildford mainline station (Waterloo in 38 minutes) is about 1.75 miles distant. The location is well-served by a variety of good local schools, including Burpham Primary School, Boxgrove School, George Abbot Secondary School, and several excellent private schools in Guildford.

Grade CPotential opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

This detached chalet bungalow offers a bright, spacious living room with herringbone flooring and a brick fireplace, plus a large established garden, garage and broad driveway. The kitchen and bathrooms have dated finishes, and some bedroom flooring is basic, giving a buyer scope for a light, selective cosmetic update rather than a major overhaul. The asking price of £850,000 works out at £534/sq ft, modestly below the local average of £552/sq ft, which supports the value case; however, the estimated all-in figure using the renovation midpoint is close to the implied local average, so the financial headroom looks moderate. The listing also mentions potential to extend, subject to planning permission, but feasibility is not established.

Key opportunities

  • Selectively modernise the dated kitchen, bathrooms and some bedroom flooring as a light cosmetic project.
  • Make the most of the bright living room’s herringbone flooring and brick fireplace as distinctive features.
  • Enjoy the established garden, garage and generous driveway, with extension potential noted subject to planning permission.
