This three-bedroom Victorian semi-detached house is arranged over three floors and benefits from a loft conversion with en-suite, making it a practical family home or buy-to-let in central Guildford. The ground floor offers a characterful sitting room with fireplace, separate dining room, and a fitted kitchen that opens to a long, narrow rear garden. Being chain free, the property is ready for a straightforward sale.
The property retains period features and has double glazing fitted after 2002, but the solid-brick walls are assumed uninsulated which may affect heating efficiency. The layout provides clear scope to update and reconfigure (subject to approvals) — appealing to buyers looking to modernise while keeping original charm. Accommodation totals approximately 978 sq ft across five main rooms.
Location is a key strength: excellent transport links to Guildford station and easy access to the High Street, schools and local amenities. The area is popular with students and professionals and benefits from nearby top-performing schools, shops and theatres. On the practical side, the plot is small and the garden relatively narrow, and the property sits in an area with very high recorded crime — factors to weigh when considering family use or rental strategies.
Overall this freehold cottage is well suited to buyers seeking a centrally positioned period home with immediate occupation potential and clear renovation upside. Consider energy-efficiency improvements and security measures to address the solid-wall construction and local crime levels.
