6 bed property to rent

East Shalford Lane, Guildford GU4

An elegant six bedroom Georgian manor set in a beautiful countryside setting and striking distance of Guildford centre.

Nestled in an idyllic position within the North Downs, this handsome six-bedroom Georgian farmhouse offers a rare blend of period charm and modern comfort. Surrounded by rolling countryside yet within walking distance of Guildford town centre—via the river path or through the Chantries—it enjoys a truly enviable location, with Pewley Down Local Nature Reserve, the North Downs Way National Trail, and the delightful villages of Shalford and Chilworth all close by.

Beautifully redecorated throughout, the house combines historic character with fresh finishes. A large entrance hall with flagstone flooring and an imposing decorative inglenook fireplace sets the tone, leading to a series of generous reception rooms: A dining room with a traditional decorative fireplace, a characterful L-shaped drawing room with working fire, and a cosy snug complete with woodburner. High ceilings, sash windows, exposed beams, and elegant proportions are found throughout. The brand-new farmhouse kitchen is a true centrepiece, fitted with a Belfast sink, family breakfast area and a range-style cooker, complemented by a large utility room and WC. There is a capacious cellar too.

Upstairs, the master suite provides a luxurious retreat with a brand new ensuite bathroom with a generous double ended bathtub and separate shower, and a beautifully-appointed dressing room. Three further spacious double bedrooms, a newly-fitted family bathroom and separate shower room occupy the first floor, while the top floor offers two charming bedrooms tucked into the eaves, one with its own brand new ensuite bathroom.

Outside, the property is approached by a winding driveway and sits within expansive grounds. The mature gardens include wide lawns framed by established trees and a walled orchard garden to the South of the house that captures the evening sun. There is a detached single garage, large barn and covered store, with ample parking. A gardener is included and the option of a housekeeper to ensure the estate remains beautifully maintained.

This exceptional home represents the very best of country living—refined, spacious, and perfectly placed for both countryside walks and town convenience. Good schools in the area include St Catherine’s, Lanesborough, Tormead, Guildford High School, Royal Grammar School, Cranmore, St Teresa’s, Cranleigh, Charterhouse and Prior's Field.
