Set on the ground floor of a well-kept 1960s block, this two-bedroom apartment offers practical, move-in-ready living a few hundred yards from London Road Station and Guildford High Street. The living room opens onto communal gardens, bringing light and outdoor access without the upkeep of a private plot. A private garage and residents’ parking add convenience that’s rare so close to the town centre.
The apartment is genuinely suited to a first-time buyer seeking a compact but comfortable home: two double bedrooms with built-in wardrobes, a modern fitted kitchen, and a contemporary bathroom. The property benefits from double glazing and mains gas central heating, and the EPC rating of C reflects reasonable energy performance for its age. The sale includes a long 980-year lease and share of freehold, reducing long-term lease concerns.
Practical costs and local context are clear: the annual service charge is about £2,541 and the council tax is Band C. The location is lively and very well connected, with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal — ideal for commuting or working from home.
Buyers should note material negatives honestly: the area records very high crime levels, which may affect suitability for some purchasers. The block dates from the 1967–75 period and external walls are cavity with assumed no added insulation, so future buyers may want to consider insulation or improvement works for longer-term efficiency gains. Overall, this apartment offers sensible town-centre living with long lease security and immediate access to transport and amenities.
