Park Barn Drive, Guildford, GU2

Park Barn Drive is a well-liked residential address in Guildford, and this Georgian detached house has the kind of presence and space that make it stand out. It has the proportions of the era, with tall ceilings and generous windows.

The three reception rooms are full of period character, with fireplaces, sash windows and wooden floors, and the kitchen has room for family meals. A hall and landing of good width add to the sense of space.

Upstairs are four bedrooms, the principal bedroom being a notably comfortable room, and three bathrooms, so the house copes easily with family life. The other bedrooms would suit children, guests or a study.

The private garden gives room for play and entertaining, and off-road parking is a useful addition. Guildford's mainline station for London Waterloo, the High Street and the A3 are all within easy reach, and the North Downs and Surrey Hills are a short drive away for walks and cycling.
