3 bed detached house for sale

Willow Road, Godalming, Surrey GU7

Welcome to Hive House, a beautifully extended 1930s detached home that blends timeless Deco elegance with smart, contemporary design. Nestled in a peaceful cul-de-sac just a short walk from local village shops, the mainline station, Broadwater Lake, and the leisure centre, this much-loved property offers three double bedrooms, three and a half bathrooms, and a wonderfully light-filled layout ideal for modern family living.

Step through the vibrant red front door—complete with a brass bee knocker—and you’re welcomed into a warm, inviting entrance hall. To the left, the bay-fronted dining room provides a charming space for family meals and entertaining, featuring wood-effect flooring and natural light that pours in from the large window. Moving through to the rear, the home opens into a spacious kitchen and sitting room—an open-plan heart of the home that invites conversation, relaxation, and effortless daily living.

The kitchen itself is sleek and modern, finished in cool whites and timber tones, with under-cabinet lighting, stylish splashbacks, and high-end appliances including a Neff double oven and a black Franke sink. Just off the kitchen, a well-equipped utility room offers additional storage and space for laundry, complete with a charming ceiling-mounted drying rack and direct access to the side garden. A handy downstairs cloakroom is tucked nearby—perfect for guests or busy family life.

The sitting room continues the open-plan feel, filled with natural light from dual aspect windows and a cleverly placed skylight. A raspberry-red feature wall adds a pop of personality to this calm and comfortable space. From here, a step down leads into the generously sized ground-floor bedroom—ideal as a guest suite or for multi-generational living. French doors open directly onto the rear garden, while extensive fitted wardrobes and a large ceiling fan add practicality and comfort. This bedroom also enjoys the luxury of its own ensuite shower room, thoughtfully designed with stylish tiling, a curved shower enclosure, and wood-effect storage.

Upstairs, the first floor opens to a bright and spacious landing, large enough for a home office, reading nook, or even a small kitchenette for teenagers. Natural light streams in from the stairwell window, and a loft hatch above offers access to a fully boarded attic with ladder and power—perfect for storage or potential conversion.

To the front of the home lies the principal bedroom, a large double with triple built-in wardrobes and a ceiling fan for warm summer nights. Its private ensuite is finished in crisp white with a sleek shower cubicle, washbasin, WC, and heated towel rail. At the rear of the house, a few steps down bring you to the third double bedroom—cosy yet spacious, with lovely views towards Farncombe Woods and plenty of room for furniture or a desk. Completing the upstairs is a luxurious family bathroom with a whirlpool bath, shower over, elegant fitted storage, and a sense of spa-like serenity.

Outside, Hive House continues to delight. The gravelled front garden provides off-street parking for two vehicles and leads through an arched side gate to a narrow country-style garden scented with lavender and jasmine—an unexpected oasis of calm. Beyond, the main rear garden is fully enclosed and beautifully landscaped with roses and ornamental shrubs, perfect for summer barbecues or quiet evenings under the stars. French doors from the ground-floor bedroom and a side door from the utility provide easy access. A large powered shed offers excellent storage or the potential for a home office or studio, while a gated vegetable garden with decked seating adds a peaceful, private space to grow, potter, and unwind.

Hive House is more than just a house—it’s a home filled with thoughtful details, natural light, and soul. Ideally located for families, with nurseries and excellent schools within walking distance—including Broadwater senior school—and fast rail access to Guildford and Godalming for top-rated sixth forms and independent options, this is a home ready to welcome its next occupants.
