Harvey Road, Guildford

A beautifully restored and maintained double fronted Victorian family house with versatile, light and airy accommodation with elegant rooms and ornate tall ceilings, arranged over three floors, lying between the Downs and the town and only a short walk from the High Street and station

27 Harvey Road is situated in an incredibly convenient location in the heart of the town and within a short walk of all its excellent amenities. The historic High Street with its shops, restaurants, pubs and bars is within half a mile and the Upper High Street and G-Live are only 0.25 of a mile. The wide-open spaces of the Downs are at the end of Addison Road, providing miles of lovely walks with incredible views, and the main line station is also within walking distance via the High Street. The Royal Grammar School is also in the High Street and its Prep School, Tormead and The Girls High School are all within a short walk.

27 Harvey Road is believed to date from around 1888 and is one of four similar houses reputedly built for the surgeons of nearby Mount Alvernia Hospital. This elegant family house has well-proportioned rooms with tall ceilings and many other fine features of its period, including ornamental coving, fine fireplaces and stripped and restored shutters and restored sash windows. The accommodation has been much improved by the present owners by the addition of a large and practical kitchen/dining/family room at the rear with direct access to an entertaining terrace and outdoor dining area overlooking the rear garden. The basement has also been converted to provide two very useful extra rooms, with natural light via two large bay windows. There are five bedrooms and two bathrooms on the first floor, and three formal reception areas plus a very useful study in a peaceful area at the rear of the house, overlooking the garden and with Cat 6 cabling, making it ideal for home working.
