Tucked away in a secluded corner of a small development, this ground-floor one-bedroom maisonette offers an affordable, chain-free entry to Guildford. Its compact footprint is practical for a single occupant or couple and benefits from double glazing, central/community heating and allocated off-street parking — rare in town-centre locations.
Set within easy walking distance of the railway station and town-centre amenities, the property suits first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors seeking convenience and strong local demand. The development lies in an affluent area close to several highly regarded independent schools, with excellent mobile signal and fast broadband for remote working.
Buyers should note the flat is small (approximately 344 sq ft) and requires efficient space planning. The lease has 109 years remaining and there are ongoing charges: an annual service package totalling about £3,058 (service charge, insurance and heating/hot water) plus a £200 ground rent. Communal, 1960s-built construction is practical but unremarkable, and local crime statistics are above average — factor this into insurance and security considerations.
Overall this maisonette is a straightforward, no-onward-chain purchase for someone prioritising location and convenience over generous internal space. It offers immediate occupation potential and scope for modest cosmetic improvement to maximise rental or resale value.
