Holloway Hill, Godalming, GU7

Holloway Hill is among the best-known roads in Godalming, a handsome market town on the River Wey with a station on the line to London Waterloo. This Edwardian detached house provides five bedrooms, three bathrooms and three reception rooms.

The proportions are generous. High ceilings, sash windows and fireplaces give the principal reception rooms a sense of occasion, while wooden floors and period detailing continue through the hall. The third reception room could serve as a family room, a dining room or a quiet study, and the kitchen is well sized for a busy household.

On the upper floors, the principal bedroom is a large double and the other bedrooms offer flexibility for children, guests or home working. Three bathrooms mean the house copes easily with a full family.

The private garden gives the children somewhere to play and the adults somewhere to entertain. On-road parking is available, and the Surrey Hills and the town centre are both close by. A home of this size and age is increasingly hard to find in Godalming.
