About
This substantially extended and attractive three-bedroom semi-detached 1920's family home is located within one of Merrow’s most sought-after tree-lined roads.
Featuring a great open plan kitchen/dining/family room measuring 24’x22’, under floor heating and media wall, this is the heart of the home and where all the family can gather.
Further features on the ground floor include a bay fronted living room with picture rails and open fireplace, front aspect study, downstairs WC, and a generously sized utility/boot room with access to the side of the property.
The accommodation on the ground floor totals 921 sqft. The first-floor benefits from a master bedroom with an en-suite shower room, two further bedrooms and a separate family bathroom.
We would also like to highlight the loft area, which subject to the required consents, could be converted into two further bedrooms or even a feature master suite, like other properties on the road.
Access to the garden is via bi-fold sliding doors which lead onto a large, paved garden terrace with an area designed for an outdoor kitchen with hot & cold running water.
Steps lead down to the all-weather astro turf lawn garden which is enclosed on all sides by mature laurel and beach hedging.
Holford Road is particularly appealing for families, combining a well-established residential setting with easy access to schools, open countryside and Guildford's wider amenities.
St Thomas of Canterbury, Boxgrove Junior School, St. Peters Catholic School, and George Abbot secondary school are all within walking distance.
While a number of highly regarded independent schools, including Lanesborough, Tormead, The Royal Grammar School and Guildford High School, are also within easy reach.
One of the property's most distinctive advantages is its proximity to the Merrow Downs, accessible at the top of the road.
Offering far-reaching views across the surrounding countryside and walking routes towards Newlands Corner and beyond.
The Downs provide an exceptional natural amenity for walking, running and enjoying the outdoors.
Merrow Golf Course is also nearby, further enhancing the appeal for those who enjoy an active outdoor lifestyle.
Guildford town centre is approximately 1.3 miles away, offering an excellent selection of shops, restaurants, cafés and leisure facilities, alongside its historic cobbled High Street.
The town also benefits from cultural attractions including the Yvonne Arnaud Theatre, as well as a choice of sporting and recreational facilities.
For commuters, London Road station and Guildford mainline station provide rail connections to London Waterloo, while the A3 offers convenient road links towards London, the M25 and the South Coast.
