5 bed detached house for sale

East Shalford Lane, Guildford, Surrey GU4

This attractive and characterful detached home provides an excellent balance of accommodation and is arranged laterally over two floors. The living space is expansive and offers a large family-centric kitchen and dining/lounge area that opens out to the garden, plus a formal sitting room, dining room and TV room.

The principal bedroom suite has its own large ensuite bathroom and separate dressing area and enjoys fabulous west-facing views from the Juliet balcony. There are four other double bedrooms, all good sizes, with one more also having its own ensuite shower room.

The level gardens are mostly laid to lawn and feature several fruit trees, greenhouse, large shed and a fruit/vegetable growing area. The gardens wrap around the house and the 0.5 acre plot offers much potential for further landscaping and/or re-configuration.

From a practical point of view, the large in-out driveway provides parking for multiple vehicles and there are two electric car charging points. There is a separate utility room featuring a useful laundry chute from the first floor, a recently installed solar panel system* and wired Sonos and programmable lighting throughout the house.

Positioned on the edge of Guildford town, this house offers the best of both worlds for those who want to enjoy the feeling of living in the countryside but need the convenience of a large town close by. The plot feels very light and open and enjoys excellent south and west aspects from the garden with simply stunning views. A short walk up the lane takes you to Chantry Wood; 200 acres of ancient woodland and meadows. It is in the Surrey Hills' Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and offers an abundance of country walks and trails for miles around.
