A GUILDFORD TREASURE: History, Character & Charm
This late 1800s five-bedroom, four-bathroom home, freshly painted and complete with new carpets, blends historic charm with contemporary comfort in one of Guildford's most loved streets. It also features a detached two-bedroom guest house.
Guildford's Water Street sets the tone before you even step inside with majestic flame trees arching overhead, heritage homes lining the street, and the air feeling steeped in history. No. 5 sits behind a white picket fence and lawn, with a white timber-clad exterior and a wide verandah hinting at what you'll find inside.
The journey begins through a leadlight front door into a central hallway, where pressed-metal ceilings, ornate roses and chandeliers immediately take centre stage. To either side, two generous front bedrooms welcome you with garden views, French doors to the verandah, built-in robes and original fireplaces.
The hallway leads to the formal lounge, anchored by a limestone-framed gas fireplace, before opening into the heart of the home: a bright, open-plan kitchen, dining and living area. Just off the lounge is another versatile living space, currently styled as a library, but equally suited to a parent's retreat. This room flows seamlessly into bedroom 1, where leafy garden views, a walk-in robe/dressing cove, and bathroom await. Bedroom 1 also has a private ensuite with an oversized shower. The lounge itself serves as the bridge between the original wing and the modern rear extension.
Beyond the lounge, the extension opens into a sunlit living and dining zone with marble tiling, a second gas fireplace, and walls of French doors spilling out to the lush garden. The kitchen combines heritage charm with modern practicality: stone benchtops, integrated Miele dishwasher and fridge, Bosch cooking appliances, and direct access to the carport and side path for ease.
Outside, the gardens unfold in layers: lawns, established trees, and private pockets to enjoy the sunshine. Tucked away at the rear, the detached guest house, once the original stables, offers two bedrooms, a living room, a laundry, a bathroom, and its own entrance. Options are endless: a bed and breakfast, or it's equally perfect for extended family, a teenage retreat or a creative studio.
From front gate to back patio, 5 Water Street feels like a seamless conversation between eras: heritage grace at the front, modern comfort at the rear, all wrapped in one of Guildford's most coveted addresses.
