We've tightened what earns a Pursue. A home now needs a published valuation, a strategy that still makes money after real running costs and lender stress tests, and no listing problems that would stop a mortgage. You'll see fewer Pursues, and each one has been checked harder.

About
Available for the first time in a generation, with the benefit of no onward chain, this handsome Edwardian detached home offers an exceptional opportunity to renovate, enhance and create a wonderful long-term family residence in one of Guildford’s most convenient and well-regarded residential locations.
Lovingly maintained over many years, the property retains an abundance of original character and period charm, including high ceilings, bay-fronted rooms, decorative fireplaces, picture rails and generous proportions throughout, while also presenting exciting scope for modernisation and further improvement subject to the usual consents.
Mareschal Road is ideally positioned on the western side of Guildford, moments from the town centre and within easy reach of Guildford mainline station, making it highly convenient for commuters travelling to London Waterloo.
The property is also particularly well placed for families, being close to highly regarded local schools including St Nicholas Infant School and Guildford County School, together with nearby parks, shops and recreational facilities.
The accommodation extends to approximately 1,900 sq ft in the main house, with additional garage, basement and outbuilding space providing excellent versatility.
The welcoming entrance leads into a traditional hallway with access to the principal reception rooms, including a bright bay-fronted sitting room with attractive fireplace and a separate dining room overlooking the garden.
A study provides an ideal work-from-home space, while the kitchen sits to the rear adjoining the conservatory and enjoys lovely views across the mature garden.
Upstairs, the first floor provides four bedrooms and a family bathroom, with the principal bedroom benefiting from a striking bay window and generous proportions typical of the Edwardian era.
The remaining bedrooms are all well sized and offer flexibility for family living, guest accommodation or further office space.
Outside, the property enjoys a delightful rear garden with established planting, mature trees and a good degree of privacy, creating a peaceful setting rarely found so close to the town centre.
To the front, there is a substantial double garage with additional workshop and storage areas, while the basement provides further useful ancillary space with potential for a variety of future uses.
Residents parking is also available.
This is a rare opportunity to acquire a cherished period home with immense potential in a highly sought-after Guildford location, offering the perfect balance of character, space and future opportunity.
