Summary - 5 FRANCIS COURT GUILDFORD GU2 9UR
1 bed 1 bath Ground Flat
Compact one-bedroom with long lease and communal gardens, ideal for downsizers.
Ground-floor retirement apartment with no stairs to navigate
This ground-floor one-bedroom retirement apartment in Francis Court offers step-free access and a private position within a well-managed development. The building provides a 24-hour emergency call system, house manager, residents' lounge, laundry and well-kept communal gardens — useful for socialising and peace of mind.
The flat has an open-plan lounge/diner leading to a fitted kitchen, a double bedroom and a shower room. At around 436 sq ft the layout is compact and suited to single occupants or those looking to downsize; the accommodation is described as dated in places and would benefit from modernisation to match contemporary tastes.
Practical points: the lease is very long (about 962–963 years remaining) and the sale is chain-free, making conveyancing straightforward. The service charge is notable at approximately £3,120 per year and should be factored into running costs. The area is very affluent and well served by local shops, doctors and frequent buses into Guildford town centre.
This apartment will appeal to buyers seeking secure, low-maintenance retirement living with easy access to local amenities. It represents a sensible purchase for downsizers who prioritise location, communal facilities and long lease security, while buyers seeking a fully modern interior should allow a budget for refurbishment.
