Josephs Road, Guildford, GU1 1DN

' My favourite feature is the dining room. I particularly like exposed brickwork, and here it gives the room a real sense of individuality alongside the original fireplace and timber detailing.

I also like the contrast with the living room at the front, which has a softer, more refined finish with its shutters, period fireplace and discreet fitted storage '.

- Pippa Barnes - Chantries and Pewleys A thoughtfully updated two-bedroom period cottage on Josephs Road, combining original character with a refined contemporary finish.

Exposed brickwork, period fireplaces and timber detailing sit alongside newly fitted shutters, considered storage and modern finishes throughout. The ground floor has two individual reception rooms.
