A newly refurbished studio set on the first floor of a late-Victorian period building in Guildford town centre. The flat has been fully rewired, benefits from a share of the freehold and an exceptionally long lease (c. 948 years), making ownership straightforward and secure. Communal gardens and a 6% rental yield figure make this attractive for buy-to-let investors or a single occupant wanting central convenience.
The accommodation is compact and arranged as a single living/sleeping space with a fitted kitchenette and electric room heaters. The property overlooks the rear communal garden and retains period character externally, including bay windows and decorative detailing. It is offered chain-free and is within easy walking distance of London Road and Guildford mainline stations, the High Street and local amenities.
Buyers should note the practical limits: the studio layout provides limited living area and there is no visible off-street parking. Heating is by electric room heaters only and the building’s solid brick walls likely lack cavity insulation, which could affect running costs. There is an annual service charge (approx. £1,440) and the immediate neighbourhood records higher crime levels than average for the area.
For investors, the advertised 6% yield and central location support good rental demand, particularly from students and professionals. For an owner-occupier seeking compact, low-maintenance central living with excellent transport links, this studio offers a secure, long-lease position with minimal immediate maintenance after refurbishment.
