This ground-floor two-bedroom apartment sits in a quiet cul-de-sac in the heart of Guildford, a short walk from London Road station and the High Street. The layout delivers a good-sized reception room with patio access to well-kept communal gardens, a fitted kitchen with space for a breakfast table, two double bedrooms with built-in wardrobes and a modern bathroom. The property comes with an allocated parking space and a private garage — useful for town-centre living.
Practical ownership features include Share of Freehold, an exceptionally long lease (981 years remaining) and no ground rent. Service charges average £1,700 per year, and the building dates from the 1980s with double glazing and gas central heating (boiler and radiators). The apartment is chain free, which can speed up a sale or purchase.
Notable considerations: the immediate area records very high crime levels, which will concern some buyers and may affect insurance or rental prospects. The apartment is an average overall size (approx. 621 sq ft) and sits in a busy town-centre, cosmopolitan neighbourhood with strong student and commuter presence. Buyers should view to assess noise and suitability for family living or long-term rental.
For a first-time buyer, commuter or investor seeking a convenient Guildford base, this apartment offers low-entry town-centre ownership with practical extras (garage, parking, share of freehold). For those prioritising quiet suburban streets or very low-crime areas, the location may not be ideal.
