Addison Road, Guildford, GU1 3QF

'The opportunity is what stands out here. Houses that still offer this degree of scope are becoming harder to find, particularly in Charlotteville.

This has been a cherished family home for a good number of years and is now ready for its next chapter.

' Pippa Barnes - Chantries & Pewleys Addison Road sits within Charlotteville, an established residential part of Guildford with both the town and open countryside within easy reach.

Pewley Down and The Chantries provide nearby walking routes, while Guildford town centre offers a wide range of shops, restaurants, leisure facilities and transport connections.

Number 86 is offered with no onward chain and represents a genuine opportunity for modernisation.

The house retains a traditional layout, with clear scope to update and reconsider the accommodation over time, subject to any necessary permissions.

On the ground floor, the two principal reception rooms have been opened into one another.

The living room sits at the front, where a large window brings in plenty of natural light and the fireplace forms the focal point.

A broad opening connects with the dining room behind, keeping the two areas distinct while creating a more open relationship between them.

The kitchen is positioned separately at the rear with direct access to the garden.

Its current arrangement is simple and provides an obvious area to consider as part of a wider programme of improvement. Upstairs are three distinct bedrooms.

The principal bedroom is at the front, with two further bedrooms to the rear. The bathroom is also on this floor and is currently fitted with a shower, wash basin and WC.

There may be scope to reconsider the first-floor arrangement or extend the accommodation as part of future works, subject to the relevant permissions.

Outside, steps from the back door lead down to a paved terrace, with a useful former store beneath. Further steps continue to the lawn.

The changes in level are an important part of the garden, with the terrace immediately behind the house enjoying an elevated outlook across Charlotteville.

With fewer unmodernised houses coming to the market in established parts of Guildford, this property offers the chance to take on a house where the next owner can make considered changes.

Local Area Guildford is the historic and vibrant county town of Surrey, offering first class entertainment and shopping, and is a gateway to some of the most stunning scenery in the South East of England.

Guildford has excellent transport links, with the A3 linking to the M25 just 6 miles away and for those that commute by train, there is a fast and frequent service from Guildford into London Waterloo.

There are a number of first class schools in the town, including Guildford High School for Girls, The Royal Grammar School, Tormead and Lanesborough Schools, as well as those further afield.

The state sector is also very well catered for, with both George Abbot and Guildford County School being well thought of.
