A bright one-bedroom maisonette in the heart of Guildford, offered chain-free and ready for immediate occupation. The property sits within easy walking distance of the High Street, mainline station and local amenities, making daily commutes and social life exceptionally convenient. Contemporary features such as large living-room glazing and wooden floors give a modern feel within an Edwardian building.
Practical positives include a long remaining lease (c.949 years) on a share-of-freehold basis, communal outdoor space, and fast broadband and excellent mobile signal — useful for home working or streaming. The town-centre location places top local schools and transport links close by, appealing to first-time buyers and buy-to-let investors seeking low-void potential.
Buyers should note a few material points: heating is by electric room heaters rather than a gas central system, which can be more expensive, and the building’s solid-brick walls date from the 1930s and may lack modern cavity insulation. The service charge is approximately £1,200 per year. The area records a high local crime statistic, so prospective purchasers should satisfy themselves on security measures and insurance costs.
Overall, this compact maisonette offers a convenient, low-entry route into Guildford’s town-centre market with clear potential to personalise and improve energy efficiency. It will suit someone prioritising location and connectivity over a large private garden or gas central heating.
