Summary - 28 FRANCIS COURT GUILDFORD GU2 9UR
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Compact, low-maintenance home close to Guildford centre and transport links.
Second-floor flat with lift access and off-street parking
Bright, compact one-bedroom apartment on the second floor of a purpose-built retirement development, designed for over-60s living with lift access and off-street parking. The open-plan living/kitchen area and double glazing give the flat a modern, low-maintenance feel, while Guildford town centre and rail links are within easy reach for shopping and appointments.
This property will suit someone looking to downsize into a secure, community-focused setting. The long lease (961 years) provides ownership security, and the flat is presented in good order — ready to move into without major works. Electric storage heating and double glazing help with insulation, though running costs will reflect electric heating.
Notable practical points: the property is leasehold with an average service charge of £2,952 per year, which covers communal upkeep and facilities. The flat is modest in size (approximately 452 sq ft) and located in an area with a higher recorded local crime level; prospective buyers should view and assess suitability for their needs.
Overall, this is a sensible, low-fuss retirement option close to shops, healthcare and transport. Its compact layout and easy access make it a practical choice for downsizers seeking convenience and community, provided they are comfortable with the service charge and electric heating arrangement.
