7 Bed Detached House For Sale Old Portsmouth Road, Guildford, GU3

Artington Court was built, we believe, in the 1970s, incorporating the old Stable Cottage, which forms the shell of the main bedroom area. The studio was added in 2000.

It is now a substantial and highly individual property offering light, bright and spacious family accommodation, with many unique features; these include the impressive galleried dining hall, with its full height vaulted glass roof and stone fireplace and chimney with wood burning stove. This opens to the spacious kitchen/breakfast room that also benefits from the glass roof. The generous principal reception room provides a space ideally suited to entertaining. This also benefits from a partial glass roof, an impressive south facing semi-circular full-height bay window and glazed patio doors opening onto the south-facing terrace and gardens.

Stairs lead down to a sound-proofed studio and study. This space also benefits from patio doors to the lower garden. Bedroom accommodation is arranged on two floors and all benefit from en suite facilities.

Gardens and grounds

The property is approached up a wide drive leading to a spacious tarmacadam forecourt and turning area in front of the house and garage. A short spur leads to a double carport beside the cottage. A path leads from the rear of the house to a hard tennis court. The remaining grounds include upper and lower paved terraces and areas of lawn, on various levels, extend away from the house, with a backdrop of mature woodland providing privacy and seclusion.
