A bright one-bedroom apartment offering an affordable route into Guildford through 35% shared ownership. The flat sits on the first floor with lift access and benefits from generous floor-to-ceiling windows that flood the open-plan reception and kitchen with natural light. With 521 sq ft of living space, the layout feels roomy for a one-bed and includes a fitted wardrobe in the double bedroom.
Built in the mid-2000s, the building has double glazing and is on a community gas heating scheme. The location is a major selling point: moments from Guildford town centre’s shops, cafés and restaurants, and a short walk to the mainline station — ideal for commuters or those seeking town-centre convenience.
Important practical points: the property is leasehold with 81 years remaining and offered as shared ownership (35% share). The wider area records very high crime levels, which should be considered by buyers. The interior shows signs of dated finishes and would benefit from some modernization to maximise value and comfort.
Overall this flat is best suited to first-time buyers or commuters looking for an affordable, well-located home in central Guildford who are comfortable with shared-ownership tenure and some updating work.
