A substantial two-bedroom Victorian semi-detached house set on a small plot moments from Guildford mainline station. The property offers large overall floorspace (approximately 1,084 sq ft), two reception rooms, an en-suite to the main bedroom, a basement and a private garden — strong layout bones for a conversion or upgrade aimed at students, young professionals or rental market demand.
The house requires complete renovation throughout: mechanical, electrical, finishes and likely insulation works to the solid brick walls. Existing double glazing is present but install date is unknown. Buyers should budget for a full refurbishment to modern standards; this is a clear value-add opportunity for a developer or investor prepared to carry out works.
Location is the key asset — walking distance to Guildford town centre, excellent fast rail links to London Waterloo and a wide range of local amenities and schools. The neighbourhood is described as a cosmopolitan student and professional area, which supports lettings or resale after refurbishment.
Important negatives: the property is in need of total renovation, solid brick walls likely require insulation upgrades, and local crime is reported as very high, which may affect lettings and insurance costs. Prospective buyers should commission a full survey and factor remediation, security and refurbishment costs into their offer.
