Low-maintenance 55+ top-floor flat with garage and communal gardens, walking distance to shops.
Top-floor one-bedroom flat in a quiet cul-de-sac
A bright top-floor one-bedroom retirement flat located in a quiet cul-de-sac in Burpham, ideal for a buyer aged 55+ seeking low-maintenance living close to Guildford. The living/dining room looks over well-kept communal gardens and the bedroom benefits from fitted storage. Allocated parking and a private garage are useful additions for visitors or for extra storage.
The accommodation is compact at around 463 sq ft, presented for immediate move-in with no onward chain. Heating is by electric storage heaters and the property has double glazing (installed post-2002). The development offers a strong local community vibe and sits within easy walking distance of shops, a GP surgery, pharmacies and regular bus links into Guildford town centre and hospital.
Practical points to note: the flat is leasehold and sits within a purpose-built retirement development; prospective buyers should confirm lease length and service charges. Construction dates from the late 1970s/early 1980s with an assumed timber-frame fabric — purchasers who are concerned about long-term maintenance should factor this into surveys. EPC is band C and council tax is described as affordable.
Overall, this is a straightforward, low-upkeep home for a downsizer or retiree wanting convenient local amenities and communal garden space, with parking and garage rare for a one-bedroom flat. It suits someone prioritising location and ease over generous internal space or extensive modernisation.
