We've tightened what earns a Pursue. A home now needs a published valuation, a strategy that still makes money after real running costs and lender stress tests, and no listing problems that would stop a mortgage. You'll see fewer Pursues, and each one has been checked harder.

About
Nestled in the heart of sought-after Merrow, within easy reach of Guildford Golf Club and the beautiful open spaces of Merrow Downs, this charming semi-detached period home offers an exciting opportunity for buyers looking to create a home of their own.
Retaining a wealth of character features while offering plenty of scope for modernisation and personalisation, the property is a wonderful blank canvas for a family to make their mark.
The welcoming living room is full of character, featuring attractive wooden flooring and a traditional exposed brick fireplace that creates a natural focal point.
A bay window to the front enhances the sense of space and light, while the period detailing adds warmth and charm.
To the rear, the kitchen/dining room is fitted with timeless wood shaker-style cabinets and provides an excellent space for everyday family life, with direct access through to the utility area and garden beyond.
Upstairs, the property offers two generous double bedrooms, both showcasing original iron fireplaces that reflect the home's heritage and add to its appeal.
The family bathroom has already been updated and is presented in a modern style, with contemporary white sanitaryware and fully tiled walls for a clean and practical finish.
A further basement room, also featuring a period fireplace, provides versatile additional accommodation and could be used as a home office, hobby room, playroom or useful storage space, subject to a purchaser's requirements.
Outside, the rear garden provides a delightful setting for relaxing and entertaining, with a patio area ideal for outdoor dining and a mature apple tree that adds both character and seasonal interest.
The property's combination of period charm, adaptable living space and superb location close to local amenities, countryside walks and highly regarded recreational facilities makes it an excellent opportunity for families, first-time buyers and those seeking a home with potential in one of Guildford's most desirable residential areas.
