A unique opportunity to purchase a pair of Victorian "Villas" in the heart of Guildford Town Center and 0.1 mile from the High Street.

Currently two separate properties, both of which were originally purchased by the current owner's family in 1862, and offered to the market for the first time in 160 years.
The properties offer a wealth of period charm and features, with the accommodation of Castle House including 4 bedrooms, 3 reception rooms, basement and family bathroom. Next door at Warwick Rise, there are 3 bedrooms, bathroom with separate WC and 2 reception rooms, and a basement area. The ground floor is temporarily supported by beams via the Basement.
Both properties enjoy delightful gardens with Castle House having garaging and driveway parking bordered by a Locally Listed flint wall. To the top of the drive is a charming folly, built into the wall of the neighbouring Castle Nursery, which affords views over the gardens, surrounding countryside and Guildford.

The Seller intends to provide an overage which would be triggered by the redevelopment to more than two dwellings on the plot.
NB The sale of Castle House & Warwick Rise is on behalf of a Connected Person to Wills & Smerdon.

Tenure: Leasehold 1000 year lease from 1670. 648 years unexpired, however, the Lease has been lost.
