A modern, ground-floor one-bedroom apartment in the heart of Guildford, ideal for a first-time buyer seeking low-maintenance town-centre living. The open-plan living/kitchen is bright and airy, with large windows and contemporary finishes that make it move-in ready. An allocated off-street parking space is a practical bonus in this central location.
The property is compact (approximately 483 sq ft) and suits a single occupant or couple who prioritise convenience over outdoor space—there is no private garden. Constructed in 2020 and newly renovated, the flat benefits from up-to-date styling and well-maintained communal areas, including secure entry and lift access.
Be aware of a few practical limitations: heating is electric, provided by room heaters rather than a gas central system, which can be more expensive. The area records higher-than-average crime and the property sits in a medium flood risk zone; prospective buyers should factor these into insurance and safety planning. The lease has around 122 years remaining and the service charge is approximately £1,800 per year.
For a first-time buyer wanting quick access to Guildford High Street, fast rail links to London and local schools, this apartment offers a straightforward, affordable step on the property ladder. It is particularly well suited to those who want a modern, low-upkeep home close to amenities, or investors looking for a central, easily lettable unit—provided they are comfortable with the noted local risks and running costs.
