4 bed terraced house for sale

Guildford, Surrey GU1

This beautiful period home on Dene Road combines elegant character with modern potential, set in one of Guildford’s most sought-after locations. The house is instantly striking with its distinctive facade and locally listed picture windows, which not only define the exterior but also flood the main reception with natural light, creating one of the brightest and most inviting rooms in the property. The accommodation is arranged across four floors, offering generous proportions and excellent versatility for family life, entertaining, or working from home. The principal living and dining room provides a wonderful focal point, while the lower ground floor includes a sitting room, shower room, pantry and utility, with scope to become a more expansive hub of the house. Upstairs there are five well-proportioned bedrooms, complemented by a bathroom with separate WC and a further utility area, making the home as practical as it is charming. The main entrance is approached via a short flight of steps to the characterful front door, which opens into a large and welcoming hallway, setting the tone for the space beyond.

A particular advantage of this property is the planning consent granted by Guildford Borough Council under reference 25/P/00334 for the erection of a single storey rear extension and changes to fenestration. This exciting consent paves the way for the creation of a substantial open-plan kitchen and dining space at lower ground floor level, opening directly onto the garden. With its own access already in place from the front, the lower ground floor is perfectly positioned to become a seamless, contemporary living area that will enhance the home’s flow and connection to the outdoors.

The rear garden is a genuine highlight, beautifully landscaped and designed for both relaxation and entertaining. A patio directly off the house provides the perfect setting for alfresco dining, while towards the far end, two further patio areas, surrounded by mature shrubs and borders, offers a more secluded retreat. The garden is framed by a traditional low brick wall and planted with an array of specimen trees and established greenery, creating a wonderfully private and tranquil atmosphere. A garden shed provides useful storage, ensuring the outside space is as functional as it is picturesque.

Located just 0.1 miles from Guildford’s Upper High Street, this home offers unrivalled access to the town’s shops, restaurants and cultural attractions. London Road station is only 0.2 miles away, and Guildford’s main line station at 0.8 miles provides fast and frequent services to London Waterloo. The A3 is just 1.6 miles away, with the M25 (Junction 10) 8.5 miles, and both Heathrow and Gatwick airports within around 25 miles.

This is a rare opportunity to secure a period home with beautiful original features, a landscaped garden, and the benefit of approved planning consent to transform the lower ground floor into an exceptional open-plan family living space.
