1 AND 1A, SYDENHAM ROAD (See details for further address information)

This is a house, originally dating to the 17th century, which has been extended and is now divided into two dwellings, with a shop incorporated. Located on Sydenham Road (formerly South Street) in Guildford, it has undergone later 19th-century additions to the left. The construction combines brick on a rendered plinth with whitewashed roughcast cladding and a 20th-century machine-tiled roof. The left-hand section has a hipped machine-tiled roof and red brickwork. The building has two storeys over a basement on the right, with single-storey extensions to the left. An eaves gable dormer provides access to an attic storey. A square stack is situated centrally. Deep bracketed eaves are a prominent feature. The front elevation displays a regular arrangement, featuring three sash windows on the first floor; the outer windows are larger, 16-pane sashes with open architrave boxes, while the centre window has 9 panes. The ground floor has two 16-pane sash windows, with a canopy over the one on the right. A central doorcase is highlighted by a pilaster strip and paterae across the lintel, topped with a flat hood supported by brackets. The return front on the left features an attic with dormer windows and tile hanging, along with a single-storey cottage set back at the end. A tall stack is centrally located, alongside two sash windows. A taller two-storey link connects to the main house, incorporating a hip-roofed porch on the ground floor. Internally, a late 17th/18th-century staircase is notable for its turned balusters.
