House For Sale £1,595,000
The Location
Quarry Heights stands in a convenient elevated position in the sought after Warwicks Bench area, on the slopes of Pewley Down. The historic cobbled High Street is only 0.5 mile away and all the excellent adjoining shops, shopping malls, restaurants and bars are therefore within a short walk. The main line station, with its fast service to Waterloo is also within walking distance. Many of Guildford's excellent schools are within easy reach, including Pewley Down Infant School, Holy Trinity, Lanesborough, The Royal Grammar School, Tormead and the Girl's High School. There are many delightful country walks nearby, including the protected open spaces of Pewley Down, Chantry Woods and the River Wey tow path.
The Property
Quarry Heights is one half of an important Grade II listed house by Baillie Scott, one of the leading architects in the Arts & Craft movement. Designed carefully to fit the contours of the land, the accommodation has an interesting and unconventional layout. It was divided into two in the 1950's and retains all the features, typical of the famous architect, including extensive oak joinery and two fine panelled reception rooms. There are also oak cottage latch doors and leaded light windows throughout. On the ground floor there is an attractive entrance hall and delightful panelled drawing room, which has been painted to make it more consistent with the architect's original decorative scheme. This room also benefits from a Clearview wood-burning stove. Situated off the drawing room are a charming octagonal study and a useful library area. There are also three bedrooms and a bathroom on this floor, with one of the bedrooms having a spiral staircase to a sleeping area with en suite dressing room and WC. The lower ground floor comprises an excellent kitchen/breakfast room, utility room, pantry, panelled dining room and sitting area. There is also a bedroom at this level with dressing room and nearby shower room. More recently the bathrooms have been refitted with Duravit, and Hansgrohe fittings with Fired Earth vanity unit and volcanic limestone basin and flooring by Mandarin Stone with underfloor heating. Outside there is a charming and beautifully landscaped south westerly facing garden with a summerhouse, and a shed.
