Central Guildford living with long lease and low running costs.
Victorian conversion studio with bay window and high ceilings
Share of freehold; lease being extended to 999 years
No ground rent; service charge about £65 pcm (£780 yearly)
Compact open-plan studio — best for single occupant or couple
Very high local crime levels — consider security and insurance
Excellent rail links to London; fast broadband and strong mobile signal
Double glazing installed post-2002; mains gas heating installed
Small garden; limited external/private outdoor space
Set on the second floor of a handsome Victorian conversion, this studio maximises light with a characterful bay window and high ceilings. The open-plan layout combines living, dining and sleeping areas efficiently, with a fitted kitchen and a separate bathroom. It suits a single buyer or couple wanting central Guildford living with period charm.
Practical benefits include a share of freehold with an in-process 999-year lease extension, no ground rent, and a below-average service charge (around £65pcm). Double glazing and mains gas heating keep running costs modest; council tax is described as cheap. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal support home working.
Location is a major draw: immediate access to shops, cafés, theatres and excellent rail links to London (around 40 minutes). The flat also offers rental potential for investors given strong local demand and proximity to colleges and amenities.
Important drawbacks are factual: the home is a compact studio with limited internal space and modest external garden. Local recorded crime levels are very high — buyers should consider security and insurance implications. The property’s period construction means some maintenance and sympathetic updating may be required over time.
