Markenfield Road, Guildford, GU1 4PF

'The ceiling heights and original proportions give this house a real sense of character, but it's the location that makes the opportunity so compelling.

With Guildford town centre and the stations close by, as well as precedent for extending along the road, it's a house with scope for updating and for someone to put their own stamp on'.

Iwan Hall - Chantries and Pewleys The entrance hall leads to a bay-fronted sitting room and a separate dining room, which connects directly to the kitchen and utility area overlooking the rear garden.

A family bathroom is positioned on the ground floor, while stairs lead down to a useful basement room offering flexible space for storage, a hobby room or a workspace.

The accommodation is arranged over four floors, with three well-sized first-floor bedrooms and a loft room on the second floor, providing scope for buyers to reconfigure the layout to suit their own requirements, subject to obtaining the necessary building regulation approval where applicable.

Outside, the property enjoys an enclosed rear garden with side access.

Situated on the sought-after Markenfield Road, the house is within easy reach of Guildford town centre, both mainline railway stations and the area's excellent range of shops, restaurants and leisure facilities.

Ready for updating, the property also offers clear potential for extension and reconfiguration, subject to the necessary planning permissions, with neighbouring homes on the road demonstrating what can be achieved.

Local Area The historic town of Guildford offers a wide range of shopping, leisure and cultural amenities, including restaurants, theatres, multiplex cinema, the Spectrum Sport and Leisure Centre.

Commuting options are excellent with the A3 connecting with the M25 at Wisley for access to the airports and the national motorway network.

There are two railway lines into London with the fast service of around 35 minutes.

There is a wide choice of both state and private schools a very short walk from the property and for those looking for activities slightly further afield, The Surrey Hills and River Wey offer plenty of options.
