Merrow Common is a small, sought-after residential area situated within a short drive of Merrow and Burpham villages. Merrow is ideally located for outdoor pursuits and offers a golf course as well as delightful walks across the Common and Downs. Only a short distance away, there are vantage points with breath-taking panoramic views over the Surrey Hills. An excellent range of private and state schools including Boxgrove Primary School, George Abbot Secondary, Merrow Infants and St Peters & St Thomas Roman Catholic Schools, heightens the popularity of, and interest in, this prime location. Guildford's historic town centre with fast train services to London is approximately two and a half miles away and the nearby A3 junction at Burpham connects the local area to the M25 orbital motorway and to central London.
NB: Originally one dwelling dating, we believe from the late 16th/early 17th Century, the property was later extended and converted into two dwellings, and then in 1966, converted back to one house.
