A truly sublime riverside country house adjoining the River Wey yet close to the centre of Guildford.
Bowers Mill was constructed at Bowers Lock by the 5th Duke of Sutherland as a laundry to serve his estate which he owned before selling it to John Paul Getty in 1959. The property was subsequently converted into a private house in approximately 1945 and was purchased by our client's family in 1958.It is rare to find grounds of this magnitude so close to Guildford offering stunning vistas and riverside walks. There are some beautiful plants and trees including many fine azaleas and rhododendrons planted by our clients. There are extensive areas of lawns which in turn lead to a field which also has vehicular access.
Bowers Mill is discreetly tucked away surrounded by open farmland and the River Wey and opposite the Sutton Place Estate yet conveniently situated just to the north of Guildford and five miles south of Woking. For commuters to London, access to the A3 is close by and there are excellent rail services from both Guildford Station (Waterloo from 35 minutes) and Worplesdon main line station (Waterloo from 30 minutes) which is about three miles. For daily requirements, Burpham shopping parade and Sainsbury's is within one mile whilst both Guildford and Woking offer more comprehensive shopping, educational and recreational facilities. There are a number of wonderful walks along the River Wey and neighbouring countryside.
