Duncombe Road, Godalming, Surrey, GU7

Set along the well-established Duncombe Road, this attractive three-bedroom semi-detached home, believed to date from the 1920s, combines the architectural character of its era with a particularly versatile layout. Offering approximately 1,365 sq ft of accommodation, with a further 118 sq ft outbuilding, the property benefits from three reception rooms, a generous garden, carport/storage and an excellent location within easy reach of central Godalming.

The traditional exterior immediately gives the house a strong sense of period character, with attractive brick elevations, tile-hung detailing, distinctive gabled bays and generous multi-pane windows, all characteristic of homes from this era. A driveway provides off-road parking and leads alongside the house to the covered carport/storage area, while a small lawn and established planting soften the frontage.

Stepping inside, the entrance hall provides access to the principal ground-floor rooms. To the front, the office/sitting room is a versatile additional reception space, measuring approximately 10’9 x 9′ and featuring a broad bay window together with attractive wood flooring. Equally suited to use as a home office, snug or playroom, it is a particularly useful addition to the layout.

Also positioned at the front is the main sitting room, a generous reception extending to approximately 17’5. Wood flooring continues through the room, while a fireplace provides a natural focal point and fitted open shelving offers useful display and storage space. A wide opening leads directly into the dining room, creating an easy flow between the two reception areas.

The dining room measures approximately 15’6 x 9’6 and continues the wood flooring, with plenty of space for a substantial dining table. French doors open directly onto the rear garden, making this an especially appealing space for entertaining during the warmer months.

The kitchen sits centrally within the ground floor and is fitted with an extensive range of timber-fronted cabinetry complemented by dark work surfaces and a mosaic-style tiled splashback. Integrated cooking appliances include a gas hob with extractor above and stacked ovens, while there is further space for everyday appliances. Recessed ceiling lighting gives the room a clean, practical finish. A ground-floor cloakroom is conveniently positioned nearby.

Beyond the kitchen, the accommodation continues into an excellent family room measuring approximately 15’1 at its maximum. Windows bring in plenty of light and a glazed door provides another direct connection with the garden. This flexible room lends itself equally well to use as an informal sitting room, children’s room or additional work-from-home space.

Upstairs, the landing leads to three well-proportioned bedrooms and the family bathroom, with wood flooring continuing through much of the first floor. The principal bedroom is particularly generous at approximately 16’2 x 10’2 and benefits from built-in storage. Two further bedrooms provide comfortable and adaptable accommodation, with the front bedroom enjoying the additional character of a bay window.

The family bathroom is fitted with a white suite including a curved bath with shower and glazed screen, pedestal wash basin and WC, with a window providing natural ventilation.

Outside, the south-west facing rear garden is a particularly appealing feature of the property, extending away from the house with areas of lawn, pathways and well-established beds and borders. A variety of mature trees, shrubs and flowering plants create a wonderfully leafy backdrop, with the planting giving different areas of the garden their own character and a pleasing sense of seclusion.

Towards the rear of the garden is a substantial timber outbuilding extending to approximately 118 sq ft. Currently arranged as a garden room and separate store, it offers valuable additional space with excellent potential for hobbies, storage or home working, subject to individual requirements.

Duncombe Road is conveniently positioned for the many amenities of Godalming, a historic market town offering an excellent selection of independent shops, cafes, restaurants and everyday facilities. Godalming mainline station, is just under a mile away, and provides regular services towards London Waterloo, while the surrounding area is well served by highly regarded schools. The A3 is also readily accessible, providing convenient road links towards Guildford, London and the south coast, while the nearby Surrey countryside offers an abundance of opportunities for walking, cycling and outdoor pursuits.
