Holly Lea, Jacob's Well, Guildford, GU4 7PG

“This is a house that will appeal to buyers who want to put their own stamp on somewhere. The interior is ready for updating, but with four good bedrooms, a west-facing garden and plenty to work with, it will be a really rewarding project.” Anthony Brown - Chantries and Pewleys Holly Lea is a quiet cul-de-sac in Jacobs Well. The property is set back behind its driveway, with an integral garage and parking to the front. For day-to-day convenience, there are local shops on Stringers Avenue, together with a bus service into Guildford. The surrounding area is also good for walking, with routes around Whitmoor Common and alongside the River Wey adding a very different side to the location. The existing layout gives the house plenty to work with, with four good bedrooms, separate living spaces and a west-facing garden. There is also real potential to update and improve the house over time, including the opportunity to rethink parts of the ground floor as part of a wider scheme of works. The entrance hall is noticeably light, with the staircase rising through the centre of the house and connecting the ground floor rooms. A WC sits beneath the stairs. The kitchen/dining room runs from front to back of the house, offering light and bright space. The kitchen also has a door onto the garden, while the dining area has room for a full-size table. The living room is separate and looks directly onto the rear garden through a wide glazed opening. The integral garage is useful for storage as it stands, but could also be converted(subject to the relevant consents) to provide further living space. The first floor is arranged around a central landing, which has its own window bringing natural light into the circulation space. From here, all four bedrooms and the family bathroom are accessed. The main bedroom sits to the front and is the largest of the four, with a wide window looking across the front garden. Bedroom two is positioned at the rear and is another good double room. The remaining two bedrooms sit to the front and rear respectively, giving the house four genuinely useful bedrooms rather than having one very small occasional room. The family bathroom is positioned centrally and currently has a bath with shower over, WC and wash basin. There is also a separate airing/storage cupboard accessed from the landing. Much like the ground floor, the first floor layout already makes good use of the available footprint. The opportunity is therefore more about updating the individual rooms and finishes to suit the next owner, rather than needing to make fundamental changes to create a practical four-bedroom arrangement. Outside, the west-facing rear garden has a paved terrace immediately behind the house, with a broad central area and established planting around the boundaries. Its orientation is a real asset later in the day, with plenty of opportunity to rethink the landscaping alongside any improvements to the house.
