3 bed detached house for sale

Elstead, Godalming, Surrey GU8

Positioned on one of Elstead’s most sought-after residential roads, this attractive detached period home offers a rare opportunity to acquire a property of genuine character in a highly regarded village setting. Set just moments from the recreation and cricket ground, within easy reach of St James’ CofE Primary School and approximately 0.65 miles from the village centre, the location perfectly balances community, convenience and countryside living.

The property currently provides well-balanced accommodation of approximately 1,291 sq ft, complemented by generous driveway parking, a detached garden studio and a wonderfully private south-west facing rear garden extending to around 70 feet. The overall plot measures circa 0.17 acres, offering excellent outdoor space that will appeal to families and those who enjoy entertaining or gardening.

Internally, the house retains much of the charm expected of a period home, with bright, welcoming accommodation arranged over two floors. The layout works comfortably for modern family life while also offering flexibility for future enhancement.

The ground floor lends itself perfectly to both everyday living and entertaining. The sitting room is a warm and inviting space, enjoying abundant natural light through a wide bay window and offering an attractive focal point for family living, as well as views over the rear garden. To the side, the separate dining room enjoys pleasant views and has access to the garden via glazed doors onto the patio, creating a natural flow between indoor and outdoor spaces. The kitchen is neatly arranged and practical, fitted with painted units, wood worktops and integrated appliances, with space for informal dining.

Upstairs, the first floor offers a generous principal bedroom with bay window and leafy outlook to the rear, and two further comfortable and well-proportioned bedrooms, all served by a smart family bathroom fitted with a modern white suite.

Outside, the rear garden is a real highlight, enjoying a sunny south-west aspect, a good degree of privacy and plenty of space for family life. Mainly laid to lawn with a paved seating area, it also incorporates a detached garden studio, ideal for home working.

Importantly, Waverley Borough Council granted planning permission in December 2024 for front, side and rear extensions, offering exceptional potential to transform the property into a spacious four double bedroom family home with enhanced living areas, all while preserving its period charm. CGI images and plans available on request.

Crucially, the existing house remains a well-proportioned and attractive home in its own right, appealing equally to buyers who wish to move straight in and those seeking longer-term potential.

The property is ideally placed for families, close to highly regarded primary and secondary options including Woolmer Hill School and Rodborough School in nearby Milford, as well as Godalming College. Mainline rail services to London Waterloo are available from Milford and Godalming stations, making the location particularly appealing to commuters. Close to village amenities, 100m to Thursley Common with miles of walks and easy access to the A3 further enhance the lifestyle on offer.

Overall, this is a charming and versatile family home combining period character, generous outdoor space and excellent connectivity, with the added benefit of exciting future potential, in one of Elstead’s most desirable village locations.
