Summary - 195, Park Barn Drive GU2 8EU
2 bed 1 bath Flat
Chain-free, low-maintenance flat near town, university and hospital.
First-floor two-bedroom apartment, approx 791 sq ft
This bright first-floor apartment offers practical, low-maintenance living close to Guildford town centre, the university and the hospital. The open-plan living/dining room feels spacious and benefits from a large window, while two double bedrooms provide flexible space for sleeping, guests or a home office. Off-street communal parking and well-kept communal gardens add convenience and pleasant outlooks.
The kitchen is fitted with a good range of units and modern appliances, and the bathroom is neatly finished with a bath and shower over. The block is purpose-built (c. 1976–82) with secure access and sits in mature landscaped grounds, giving a quiet, sheltered setting despite the convenient location. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal support home working and streaming.
Important practical points: the property is leasehold and sold chain-free, with an average-sized footprint (approximately 791 sq ft). The building is system-built with partial insulation assumed — buyers should factor in potential future maintenance or upgrade costs, particularly for energy efficiency. The apartment enjoys communal rather than private garden space.
The local area is classified as a private-renting new arrivals neighbourhood with higher levels of rental occupation and some area deprivation; crime is reported as average. For first-time buyers and investors seeking a well-located, ready-to-live-in flat with good transport links and low immediate maintenance needs, this is a straightforward option. Those seeking a completely private garden, a freehold home, or a newly refurbished energy-efficient property should note the tenure and construction type before viewing.
