Compact period flat close to Guildford station and the cobbled high street..
Ground-floor 2-bed flat, approx 470 sq ft
A compact two-bedroom ground-floor flat in the heart of Guildford’s cobbled high street, offering immediate access to shops, cafes and the River Wey. Interiors are bright and neutral with period touches such as wooden floors and a bay window that add character to the living space.
Practical benefits include a long lease (106 years), share of freehold ownership and a short walk to Guildford mainline station—appealing for commuters and first-time buyers. The property’s small footprint (approximately 470 sq ft) makes it manageable but limits storage and living space compared with larger homes.
Note the property uses electric storage heaters and secondary glazing; walls are likely uninsulated (sandstone/limestone as-built), so running costs may be higher than modern-build flats. Service charge and ground rent are notable: around £2,500 per year service charge and £200 ground rent.
This flat suits a buyer seeking central location and period character who is willing to accept smaller rooms and some running-cost and maintenance compromises. It could also appeal to investors looking for a central let, though consider higher ongoing costs and above-average local crime statistics when assessing rental yield or family suitability.
