Set well back off Merrow Lane, Longdyke is a very attractive part-tile hung cottage that has been extended over its lifetime.
This beautiful four-bedroom family cottage that dates back to the 17th Century has been impeccably maintained by the current owners who have occupied the house for over 22 years. This home works perfectly for family living with excellent ground floor accommodation that flows from the generous central reception hall with its traditional exposed beams of the era. The triple aspect family/dining room has a character fireplace with French doors out onto the garden and direct access into the kitchen.
The beautiful and very well-appointed kitchen with range cooker was upgraded in 2015 and has an integrated L-shaped bench seat for a dining table and
door straight out to the patio. Connecting from both the hall and kitchen, the sitting room has a modern wood burner and overlooks the expansive garden.
The cosy snug/office room is ideal for home working or as a TV playroom giving the families that much needed space.
The utility room works perfectly with it situated at the back of the garage with access to the garden and into the house.
Going upstairs via the turning staircase to the galleried landing are 4 delightful bedrooms. The principal suite with built in wardrobes has so much character with beamed roof lines and fireplace. The Jack & Jill ensuite bathroom is very well appointed with a separate shower and bath with half tiled walls.
There are three further double bedrooms and a family bathroom with corner bath and separate shower.
Longdyke sits perfectly on its South facing plot that extends to nearly 0.4 of an acre.
The long gravel drive provides plenty of parking and good access to the adjoining double garage which has up and over electric doors. The gardens are very well tended with attractive flower boarders to the front of the house.
The back of the house which is not overlooked has an extensive patio for alfresco entertaining and well-kept lawns beyond.
Within the garden there is an excellent brick and tile-built studio and workshop with power that would be used for multiple purposes.
This period property enjoys a discreet and private setting approached via a small wooded area and is situated in the soughtafter area of Merrow, within approximately 2 miles of Guildford. Merrow itself offers a small parade of shops including a grocery and butchers. There is also a local pub and an Indian restaurant.
The property is within the catchment area of a range of highly regarded schools including George Abbot & St. Peters and is within easy reach of RGS, Guildford High and Tormead.
Guildford offers a comprehensive range of shopping, social recreational and educational facilities and is a gateway to some of the most stunning scenery in the South East of England and forms part of the Surrey Hills, which is an area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
Guildford has excellent transport links, with the A3 linking to the M25 accessing central London and International airports. The mainline railway station provides a commuter service to London Waterloo in 36 minutes.
