This compact one-bedroom studio occupies the second floor, a short walk from Guildford town centre and London Road station. The location delivers strong commuter appeal — trains to London Waterloo in about 38 minutes and convenient road links via the A3 to the M25 and airports. Broadband and mobile signal are both excellent, supporting rental demand or home-working.
The building dates from the mid-20th century with a 1970s Brutalist aesthetic; the flat shows modern bedroom finishes but the block will benefit from modernization. Service charge and ground rent are modest for the area: £902.72pa service charge (2023) and £150pa ground rent. The lease has approximately 111 years remaining, providing long-term security for purchasers and lenders.
This property suits investors or buyers seeking an affordable entry to Guildford; its compact layout and strong transport links make it attractive for students, young professionals or commuters. Nearby schools include outstanding and top-ranked independent options, while local amenities and shops are all within walking distance.
Notable negatives are the building’s dated communal appearance and the local crime level, which is recorded as very high; this should be considered when assessing rental premium and insurance. Parking appears limited and the apartment’s studio layout offers minimal living space — buyers seeking larger accommodation or period character should look elsewhere.
