This Grade II listed Tudor cottage sits directly off Guildford High Street, offering characterful, compact living with a private walled garden and views over a peaceful churchyard. The house has original exposed beams, a fireplace with a log burner and an open-plan living/dining space that maximises natural light.
The property is well located for city amenities and transport: short walk to Guildford station, shops and several highly regarded schools. Broadband speeds and mobile signal are excellent, and the freehold tenure avoids leasehold costs.
Buyers should note the listed status, which will restrict alterations and may complicate some works. Heating is electric storage radiators and the solid brick walls are assumed uninsulated, so energy performance and running costs may be higher than modern homes. The house is an average overall size (approximately 666 sq ft) with two bedrooms and a single bathroom—suitable for a couple, small family or as a city-base for commuters.
The immediate area is cosmopolitan and busy; while the property overlooks a quiet churchyard, local crime levels are recorded as very high, a factor to consider for some purchasers. This cottage will suit someone who values central location and historical character and is comfortable with conservation constraints and potentially upgrading thermal performance.
