3 bed link detached house for sale

Summersbury Drive, Guildford GU4

This is a home woven into the fabric of Surrey’s past. Historically associated with Thomas Chennell, a local yeoman recorded in early parish documents, the property offers a rare opportunity to own a residence that blends character, charm and future potential.

Inside, the accommodation is generous and highly adaptable. There are three double bedrooms and three bathrooms. One bedroom and its en-suite are arranged as a self-contained annex complete with its own kitchen. This space can still function seamlessly as part of the main house, making it ideal for guests, relatives, a nanny suite or working-from-home arrangements. With two well-appointed kitchens and several reception areas, the layout supports entertaining, flexible living and multi-generational lifestyles.

The garden is one of the property’s standout features. It enjoys sections of beautiful old garden walls that absorb and radiate warmth, creating inviting, sheltered spots throughout the day. The outdoor space also includes a delightful children’s maze feature, styled in the spirit of the Hampton Court hedges - a playful and charming addition rarely found in residential gardens.

Beyond this, the plot is notably generous, offering clear opportunity subject to planning permission to extend the property into a five-bedroom home while still maintaining excellent outdoor space.

Positioned within the desirable village of Shalford, and only moments from Guildford’s amenities, schools, station and countryside walking routes, this home provides a compelling combination of heritage and practicality. With its historical links, flexible layout, annex potential and impressive garden with unique features, it invites you to explore a lifestyle that is both distinctive and full of possibility.
