Brodie Road, Guildford, GU1 3RZ

"What really struck me about this house is how the rear extension changes the way it lives day to day, with the skylit kitchen and dining space becoming the natural hub of the home." Pippa Barnes - Chantries & Pewleys.

This period home on Brodie Road sits right in the heart of Guildford, combining a central position with the rare advantage of off-road parking.

From the front, it presents with a more traditional layout, including a separate sitting room that offers a quieter space to relax, set slightly apart from the main flow of the house.

Moving through, the rear of the property opens up into a much larger kitchen and dining space, created through a well-considered extension. This is where the house naturally centres itself day to day.

There is room here not just for cooking, but for dining, working and spending time together, with the large skylight bringing consistent natural light into the space.

Doors open directly onto the garden, making it easy to use both areas together, particularly in warmer months. A separate utility area keeps the practical elements neatly out of sight.

Below, the basement has been adapted into a fully usable room and is currently set up as a gym.

It adds a layer of flexibility that’s increasingly important, whether for exercise, working from home or hobbies, while still retaining additional storage.

Upstairs, there are two bedrooms, both comfortable doubles, along with a modern bathroom arranged off the landing.

The layout is straightforward and makes good use of the available space without compromise.

Outside, the rear garden has been designed to be easy to maintain, with a terrace that works well for outdoor seating and dining.

It feels enclosed and private, offering a usable extension of the living space. A cellar below provides additional storage, helping to keep the main house uncluttered.

Being this close to the town centre, with shops, restaurants and the station all within easy reach, is a clear advantage.

Combined with off-road parking and a layout that has been adapted for modern living, it’s a house that offers both practicality and position in equal measure.
