4 bed detached house for sale

Guildford, Surrey GU2

Set on the ever-popular Testard Road, this attractive period home offers peace and privacy on a no through road, while sitting just moments from the heart of Guildford. The property is ideally positioned approximately 0.2 miles from Guildford mainline station, providing fast and frequent services into London Waterloo, and within easy reach of the town centre’s wide range of shops, restaurants and amenities. The open green spaces of The Mount and the Surrey Hills are close by, offering excellent walking routes and a welcome balance of town and countryside living.

The house itself provides flexible accommodation arranged over several levels and is rich in character throughout. On entering, the welcoming hallway immediately sets the tone with its high ceilings and attractive wood panelling. From here, the dual aspect sitting room offers a bright and elegant space with room for both relaxing and entertaining, while the kitchen and dining area is equally well suited to everyday living, fitted with a range of wall and base units, integrated appliances and direct access to the rear garden. Both areas offer flexibility for dining and socialising, creating a home that adapts easily to different lifestyles.

The first floor features a generous principal bedroom with twin front-facing sash windows, original fireplace and wooden floorboards, alongside a second bedroom which also retains a fireplace and enjoys views over the garden. The family bathroom has been finished to a high standard with a contemporary design that complements the period feel of the house. A further staircase leads to the second floor, where a third double bedroom provides a peaceful retreat, ideal for guests or older children.

From the entrance hall, stairs descend to the lower ground floor where a fully tanked room offers excellent additional space. With full head height, oak flooring, extensive power points, shower room and a front-facing bay window, this level is ideal for use as a gym, home office, studio or bedroom, offering genuine versatility rarely found so close to the town centre.

Outside, the south-facing garden provides a private and manageable outdoor space, perfect for garden furniture and potted plants, and ideal for enjoying the sun throughout the day. On-street permit parking is available on Testard Road and the surrounding roads. The location is particularly sought after for its quiet residential feel, proximity to outstanding schools, both state and private, and excellent transport links via the A3 to London, the south coast and the wider motorway network, making this an exceptional opportunity for those seeking a characterful home in one of Guildford’s most convenient and desirable settings.
