This top-floor, one-bedroom apartment sits in the heart of Godalming’s High Street within a Grade II listed timber-framed building. The interior preserves strong period character — exposed beams, oak joinery and a central fireplace — while a recently updated shower room gives the flat a practical, modern edge. The property benefits from gas central heating, secondary glazing and a rare off-street parking space for a town-centre location.
The flat is compact but well-proportioned for a single occupant or couple, with good fitted bedroom storage and a naturally bright living room. It is an easy walk to shops, cafes and Godalming mainline station for direct services to London Waterloo, making it suitable for first-time buyers or investors looking for a central, lettable home with character.
There are important practical considerations: the apartment is Grade II listed, which restricts alterations and can complicate maintenance or upgrades. Ceilings are low in parts and the building has cavity walls assumed to be uninsulated, so any significant thermal improvements may be limited and require listed-building consent. The local area records higher crime levels than average and there is no private outdoor garden — outdoor space is limited to a shared parking/forecourt.
Lease details are straightforward: 159 years remaining (from original 189-year term), a modest service charge of £650 per year collected twice annually, and no ground rent advised. Overall, this is a characterful, central flat offering immediate move-in potential and strong location benefits, best for buyers who value historic character and town-centre convenience and who accept listed-building constraints.
