Set on the first floor of a well-presented 1966 block in Merrow, this three-bedroom apartment offers bright, flexible living with rare garage and workshop space. The triple-aspect sitting/dining room floods the principal living area with light and the two double bedrooms include built-in storage, making the layout family-friendly. Outside, well-kept communal gardens, a large car park and very low local crime add to the appeal for buyers seeking a quiet, suburban feel close to Guildford town centre.
Practical benefits include a long remaining lease (941 years) and share of freehold, plus a full roof replacement completed in 2008. The integral garage with an adjoining powered workshop/store is a standout asset for parking and storage—uncommon for flats of this size. The property sits close to Merrow Downs, popular schools and local amenities, which will suit families and those valuing outdoor space and good schooling options.
Buyers should note the apartment is modest in overall footprint (approximately 641 sq ft) and the third bedroom functions well as a small single or home office rather than a full double. The block’s cavity walls are assumed to be uninsulated, and communal service charges average around £2,500 per year—important running costs to factor in. Broadband speeds are average locally, and while the building has double glazing, installation dates are unknown.
Overall this is a practical, well-located three-bedroom flat offering long lease security and useful garage/workshop space. It will suit families seeking local schools and outdoor access, buyers after a low-maintenance suburban base, or investors seeking a tenancy-friendly layout—provided the purchaser accepts a medium-sized internal footprint and ongoing service charges.
