More about the house

Artington House is one of eight houses built in the early 1860s by Richard Shepard, an insurance broker, on land purchased from William Elkins, a brewer and former three times Mayor of Guildford. It is a fine example of elegant mid-Victorian architecture, complete with gables and wisteria with elegant interiors.

A large family home, former tenants have included a Colonel and an Assistant Inspector General of the Royal Irish Constabulary.

This south facing house is set in its own grounds in a semi-rural situation on the outskirts of Guildford. It offers a delightful garden enhanced by stone garden furniture, a rose arbour, and a terrace, all making an ideal setting for your ceremony and your photographs. A porch provides ample cover during wet weather and steps descend to the car park for guests on ground originally laid out as a tennis court. Further car parking is available on Saturdays at the front of the house.

The house still retains some of its original features, including several fireplaces, and the interior offers a very desirable ceremony suite - the Guildown Room with seating for a maximum of 48 guests and a smaller ceremony room which will accommodate 15 guests. Please note the small room is not available after 12 noon on Fridays, or at anytime on Saturdays.
