‘I love the position of 61 Down Road. It sits at the top of a no through road and is a few yards away from the Merrow Downs and all of beautiful countryside it offers’. James Boyden - Chantries & Pewleys
The ground floor consists of a bay-fronted sitting room positioned at the front of the house, creating a bright and welcoming reception space with an attractive outlook over the front of the property. This room provides a comfortable setting for everyday living and entertaining and flows naturally through to the dining room beyond. The dining room sits centrally within the ground floor and offers a generous space for family meals or hosting guests. From here, double doors open directly onto the rear garden, allowing natural light to fill the room and creating an easy connection between the interior and exterior spaces during the warmer months.
To the rear of the property sits the kitchen, which adjoins the breakfast room to create a practical and sociable area for day-to-day living. The kitchen itself sits centrally within the ground floor, with storage and preparation space arranged efficiently along the walls to maximise functionality. The adjoining breakfast room provides a more informal dining space, ideal for morning coffee or relaxed family meals. For buyers looking to modernise or reconfigure, this area presents clear scope to redesign and potentially create a larger open-plan kitchen and living environment, subject to the usual permissions.
The first floor provides three well-proportioned bedrooms along with a family bathroom, offering flexible accommodation suitable for a growing family, guests, or those requiring a home office. Each bedroom benefits from good natural light and comfortable proportions. The second floor adds two further bedrooms, providing additional versatility to the layout. The principal bedroom on this level benefits from its own en-suite shower room, creating a private retreat within the home. From this upper level the outlook opens up, with views stretching towards the Downs, providing a pleasing sense of elevation, space, and natural light.
A basement level provides useful additional space which is currently used for storage but could potentially be adapted for other uses, subject to requirements and any necessary approvals.
Outside, there is a patio area to the side of the house which offers an ideal space for summer entertaining or outdoor dining. The garden also features an area of lawn with mixed borders that provide colour and interest throughout the seasons, along with two garden sheds offering practical storage. Positioned at the top of the road and just seconds from the Merrow Downs, the property enjoys immediate access to miles of countryside walks leading towards the Pewley Downs and Newlands Corner, making it particularly appealing for those who enjoy outdoor pursuits and the surrounding natural landscape.
Merrow shops are within easy reach and provide a range of local shops including an M&S and chemist. Schooling is excellent with several within walking distance including Merrow Infant School, Merrow Junior School, St Thomas of Canterbury, Boxgrove Primary, St Peters and George Abbot. Guildford with its famous cobbled High Street and Castle is located approximately 2 miles away, providing an extensive range of leisure and recreational facilities with a wide range of shops, restaurants, the Yvonne Arnaud Theatre, a cinema complex, G Live, Surrey Sports Park and Spectrum Leisure Centre.
Transport links are excellent with a regular bus service into Guildford and 2 stations including the mainline station connecting to London Waterloo in approximately 37 minutes. The A3 is closeby linking to the M25 motorway, Gatwick and Heathrow Airports.
