Hurst Lodge, High Street, Guildford, GU5 0HS

Hurst Lodge is a handsome and substantial detached period home, positioned in the very heart of Bramley’s historic High Street.

It forms part of a distinctive trio of homes that are widely regarded as some of the most iconic within the village, contributing to the charm and architectural rhythm that defines this sought-after setting.

Set within a generous plot, the property offers over 2,700 sq ft of accommodation including outbuildings and garage, with a sense of presence and privacy that is rarely found in such a central location.

Believed to date from the 19th century, Hurst Lodge displays the balanced proportions and character typical of the era, with well-sized rooms, high ceilings and traditional bay windows that draw in natural light.

The house has remained within the same ownership for over 50 years, during which time it has been carefully maintained, retaining a strong sense of its original character while benefiting from thoughtful updates.

In recent years, the owners have installed double glazed sash windows, preserving the period aesthetic while improving efficiency, and have also replaced the roof, providing reassurance for the future.

The accommodation is arranged over three floors and offers a versatile layout suited to both family living and entertaining.

The ground floor provides two generous reception rooms, each with bay windows, alongside a kitchen overlooking the garden and a separate study, ideal for home working.

Upstairs, four well-proportioned bedrooms are served by family bathroom facilities, with the added benefit of a small ensuite to one of the bedrooms, enhancing the practicality of the layout.

The basement level provides useful additional space with potential for a variety of uses.

Externally, the property is complemented by a detached garage and a substantial outbuilding, offering excellent scope for a studio, workshop or ancillary accommodation, subject to the usual consents.

The gardens are mature and well-proportioned, affording privacy and further opportunity for enhancement or extension if desired.

Whilst the house has been well cared for, it would now benefit from a programme of modernisation, presenting an exciting opportunity for an incoming purchaser to create a home tailored to their own tastes.

With its prominent High Street position, generous accommodation and enduring character, Hurst Lodge represents a rare opportunity to acquire a landmark village home in one of Surrey’s most desirable locations, combining period charm with significant potential for the future.
