4 bed town house to rent

Chantry Quarry, Guildford, Surrey GU1

Built in 2014 by respected local developers Latchmere, 15 Chantry Quarry occupies a particularly private position at the very end of this distinctive development of fifteen contemporary town houses. Set well away from passing traffic, the house enjoys a quiet and secluded feel while remaining just over half a mile from Guildford's historic High Street.

The accommodation is arranged over four floors, all of which can be accessed by either stairs or a lift. Throughout the house there is extensive use of glass, creating bright and airy interiors, complemented by striking feature staircases and a spiral staircase leading to the upper levels. A welcoming, high ceilinged reception hall forms the centrepiece of the ground floor and gives access to two bedrooms and two bathrooms, one of which is en suite, along with a large additional room that could serve equally well as a third bedroom or a media room. This floor also includes a cloakroom and a separate utility room, while doors open directly onto paved seating areas outside.

The main living and entertaining space is found on the first floor, where a stunning, generously proportioned reception room opens into the kitchen area. Bi fold doors lead out onto an excellent entertaining terrace, providing a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living. On the second floor, the principal bedroom benefits from a large en suite bathroom, with an interconnecting second bedroom or dressing room also located on this level and served by a shower room.

The top floor is reached via the spiral staircase or the lift and comprises a study with direct access to the attractive roof garden. From here, the house enjoys an elevated outlook while maintaining its sense of privacy.

Chantry Quarry itself is a unique private development created within a former chalk quarry. All the town's excellent amenities, including shops, restaurants, pubs and bars, are within easy walking distance, as are the picturesque rural walks along the River Wey tow path. Guildford's main line station is also accessible on foot and provides a regular commuter service to Waterloo in approximately 38 minutes. The Yvonne Arnaud Theatre is close by, as is Guildford Rowing Club, and a number of well regarded schools are within walking distance, including The Royal Grammar School, The Girls High School and Guildford County School.
