Great Oaks is arguably one of the finest houses to come onto the open market in Guildford in recent times. Built, we believe, in the 1920s in the Arts & Crafts style, Great Oaks enjoys stunning grounds of approximately three-quarters of an acre and is unusually private, being screened by mature trees to the majority of the garden and an attractive walled driveway. Internally, the house is centered around the dramatic reception hall and also include some impressive reception rooms including the formal drawing, dining sitting rooms, each with their own striking fireplaces. The property also benefits from a lift to the first floor
