Old Merrow Street, Guildford

Old Merrow Street is a peaceful no through road with a selection of mainly large detached homes of more recent years. Merrow village is located about two miles east from the historic Guildford town centre and is close to Merrow Downs and Guildford Golf Club. There are shops for day to day needs in the village, including a Marks & Spencer Food store, a chemist and takeaways. Popular schools for all ages are nearby including George Abbot and St Peter’s secondary. There are also several leading independent schools such as the Royal Grammar and Guildford High School for Girls within a short drive. The A3 (London bound) at the Clay Lane intersection is just 1.8 miles.

An enchanting brick and flint detached cottage peacefully set in this quiet street within Merrow Park. The property was originally the village laundry until the 1800s with earlier origins to 1730. During my client’s 24 years ownership many upgrades and changes have been made, most notably the creation of the generous double-width garage that is sympathetic to the original cottage. Features of this very well-presented and much-loved home include the many character features still retained including fireplaces and beams but unlike many homes of this period head height and room dimensions are all very good. The kitchen dining room is a fantastic modern space over looking the stunning gardens which offer a high degree of privacy and are of a westerly aspect. A large study/bedroom can be found on the ground floor offering adaptability for bedroom or living/working space. The first floor bedrooms are all good doubles, the master suite being a very impressive and indulgent space with an ensuite shower room and extensive built-in storage. To summarise a beautiful family home full of atmosphere in a location that is perfect for schooling needs for all ages.
