House For Sale £550,000
A rarely available detached period house situated in a quiet no through road in the centre of Guildford with parking.
Artillery cottage dates back to about 1897 and was originally the brewer’s family home for the pub nextdoor. It was owned by the pub until 1998 when the Forger and Firkin, as it was then, sold it and the house was completely renovated by a builder before the current owner purchased it.
This pretty 2/3 bedroom detached house is accessed by a courtyard garden and has two reception rooms both with character feature fireplaces, one leads out through bi-fold doors to the pretty rear garden and one leads onto the fitted kitchen. The fitted kitchen has an enclosed combi boiler, integrated fridge, freezer and wine cooler along with a mini dishwasher and space for a washing machine. The lower ground floor has converted basement, currently used as bedroom 3. On the first floor is the master bedroom and a second bedroom with a good sized ensuite bathroom. The pretty walled rear garden faces south and sides onto the local pub garden. The garden has artificial grass and a mixture of plants and shrubs, a small pond, timber shed and rear access. There is also a small attic for storage.
The current owner has recently purchased a parking space for a large car (or space for two small cars) under a separate freehold title, and this is located a few yards away from the property.
Positioned in a popular central location just a 7 minute walk to Guildford Town Centre, which offers an excellent range of shopping, social, recreational amenities and is well noted for its schools within both the private and state sectors. The train station is a 13 minute walk away and commuter links are excellent with a fast and frequent rail service from Guildford to London Waterloo (in 38 minutes). The A3 links to the M25 motorway network and the international airports.
For those liking the great outdoors Dapdune Wharf National Trust is just across the road with footpaths along the River Wey. Stoke Park, Guildford lido and Recreation Road parks and playing fields are 5 minutes’ walk away and for families with small children there is a playground at the top of Drummond Road next to the hall where Scouts takes place. The Spectrum sports centre has indoor pools, ice rinks, bowling, athletics tracks and fitness classes.
