Downsway is one of Guildford's most highly regarded, quiet and attractive private road locations where beautifully proportioned family homes sit in secluded and mature plots, all of which creates a wonderful feeling of space and tranquility that makes the location so sought after. Sitting nicely back from the road, behind a sweeping gravel driveway and a beautifully manicured front garden this is a beautifully symmetrical family home. From start to finish the house is immaculately presented, thanks to a comprehensive programme of refurbishment that our clients have carried out with great attention to detail, which has resulted in a hugely light and airy home that also works extremely well in terms of the needs of modern day family life. It should also be noted that this wonderful home benefits from full planning permission and building regulations approval for a large extension.

The majority of the principal rooms in the house look out over the beautifully landscaped rear garden giving them a delightfully green and open outlook all of which adds to the overall feeling of light and space that runs through the house as a whole. Once through the front door a very large reception hall with a beautiful solid wood floor at once gives the house an open feel as it runs straight through into the dining room which looks out over the rear garden beyond.

To one side the drawing room is a notably well proportioned, front to back room with a central fireplace that has a stone surround and slate hearth and which creates a striking focal point for the room, while at the rear double glazed doors lead out onto the terrace making this a perfect room for entertaining during the spring and summer months. At the front of the house there is a very workable study which could also be used as a TV room if preferred and which overlooks the front garden, while on the back the kitchen likewise overlooks the rear. This room has been superbly refitted with a very comprehensive range of high gloss units and includes a central island that incorporates a large breakfast bar area. In the kitchen there is a range of integrated appliances that includes a five burner stainless steel hob, a fitted oven and microwave, a fitted fridge and also a dishwasher. The size of the kitchen makes this a superb informal day-to-day living space for the house which also works extremely well with the adjacent dining room. Off the kitchen there is a very useful utility room fitted out with a whole range of high gloss units and there is also a stable door that leads out onto the rear garden and a personal door into the garage.

On the first floor the house is neutrally decorated and is very clean lined which again enhances the light, no more so the in the master bedroom, which runs front to back and has a beautifully fitted en suite shower room. The remaining three bedrooms are all well proportioned doubles, two on the back and one on the front, and all have fitted wardrobes.

Garden & Exterior

Location

The house is approached by a substantial sweeping gravel driveway that is bordered on one side by an immaculately maintained front lawn and enclosed on both sides by high and mature laurel hedging. To one side of the house there is a double garage with an electric up and over door. The rear garden is undoubtedly a particularly attractive feature of the house with a large stone terrace that runs the entire width of the property creating a wonderful outside sitting space that looks out over the rear garden. The garden is beautifully mature and secluded with sweeping lawns that are bordered on all sides by high hedging and mature trees and undoubtedly is a fabulous outside space that very much feels like part of the house as a whole.

The property is situated in one of Guildford’s more highly regarded and sought after private roads thanks in no small part to the peaceful and yet accessible nature of the location.

Within just a short distance there is a range of local shops at Merrow including a Marks and Spencer's Local while no more than a few minutes drive further along the road are Guildford's Upper and Lower High Streets that between them have a vast and eclectic array of shops along with an excellent selection of bars, cafes and restaurants that cater for almost every conceivable taste. Also in the town you will find a number of superb entertainment options which include the renowned Yvonne Arnaud theatre, the G Live music and events venue and the multi screen cinema and the town also has two excellent commuter stations that run into Waterloo. On those occasions however when you feel a need for the wide open spaces rather than the busy streets of the town the house sits within just a short walk of some of the stunning countryside that surrounds Guildford as a whole while an equally easy drive will take you out into the heart of the Surrey hills where you will find a string of beautiful English villages. In short this is almost the perfect location to take advantage of both the town and the countryside.
