About us

Situated in the heart of the Guildford suburb of Merrow and tucked away in a quiet street, Guildford Sunset Homes Estate is set in picturesque grounds with beautiful gardens and many mature trees and shrubs. There is an on-site café hub and large traditional lounge (also housing a full-sized billiards table) within Merrow House which residents use for coffee mornings, bingo, social gatherings and reading.

The Association is managed by a Board of Trustees comprised of volunteers interested in housing needs. The committee decides the policies of the Association and oversees the work of the staff.

Since 1986 the management of the flats has been undertaken by Retirement Lease Housing Association on behalf of Guildford Sunset Homes.
