Laundry Road, Guildford, GU1

On Laundry Road, this Victorian terrace has the quiet confidence of a house that has been looked after for well over a century. It has three bedrooms, two bathrooms and two reception rooms, which suits a family without stretching to a detached price.

The period interior is the main attraction. Expect decent ceiling heights, traditional window shapes and rooms that take furniture well, whether you prefer a formal dining table or an everyday kitchen-table sort of setup.

Upstairs, the principal bedroom is the largest, and the other two are well suited to children, guests or a desk. Off-road parking means no evening hunt for a space.

Behind the house, the private garden has enough room for a table and chairs and perhaps a vegetable bed, with the castle grounds a pleasant walk away.
