Areas in/near Guildford for a decent detached house at a fair price

Any suggestions within say 2 or 3 miles of Guildford where you can get a large detached house for around £700k??? Not sure if there any bargain areas, I suspect not though?

What about heading out towards Woking?

StunningCunt · 05/08/2012 13:39

Have looked at Woking town centre and it's super dull tbh, Guildford is much more happening, would prefer to be able to ride in there.

Is it cheaper to live just outside Woking (which is closer to London) than somewhere south of Guildford, say?

Sorry I don't know but I was thinking of the borders between Woking and Guildford, near Worplesdon station that sort of area?

What do you mean by 'large'? How many bedrooms, how big a garden etc?

StunningCunt · 05/08/2012 21:39

Well I was thinking something around 1800 sqft (excluding garage). A 20x20 living room, dining room, 4 bedrooms, large kitchen. Something along those lines.

I'm not too fussy about the garden size but not a shoebox new build with a 10-foot back garden.

Woking is fine. Much better commuting times to London - if you are doing that. Only 23 minutes to Waterloo - about 7 trains an hour during rush hour.

Great theatre and leisure facilities.

I live in Woking. It's nice. Don't be put off by the town centre...

cece · 05/08/2012 21:59

Horsell

under budget

light and airy

lovely kitchen

Also worth looking in Hook Heat area which is very nice bit of Woking and on the |Guildford side.

cece · 05/08/2012 21:59

Hook Heath.

cece · 05/08/2012 22:13

Pyrford also lovely.

StunningCunt · 05/08/2012 22:16

So nothing in Guildford?

Burpham or Merrow?

hf128219 · 05/08/2012 22:18

Are you going to work in Guildford then?

StunningCunt · 05/08/2012 22:27

Hmm, this is kind of hideous: www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-34925008.html But quite a lot of house.

This one is nicer but smaller: www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-38495837.html?premiumA=true

Not overwhelmingly inspiring for the cash tbh

That's the problem round here - if you want a perfect house you need about £1.2!

Do you need to be near a station?

surreyhousefrau · 05/08/2012 22:32

Shalford/Bramley ?? personally prefer to burpham unless you are aiming at a particular school.

ogredownstairs · 05/08/2012 22:53

The one in Horsell is amazing. Quite tempted to tell DH we must move to somewhere I have never heard of, at once!

StunningCunt · 05/08/2012 22:56

Don't need to be near a station. Have been renting for 10 years due to being uninspired by what you get for 3/4 of a million quid. Perhaps we should emigrate.

Was cycling through Dockenfield the other day, it's lovely, lots more house for the cash too. www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-23471754.html In the middle of nowhere though. www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-37340618.html
