A compact one-bedroom apartment in a 1900 Victorian conversion, Marlyn’s House offers characterful living just minutes from Guildford station. The open-plan kitchen/reception with a bay window faces the communal garden, bringing in natural light and making the most of the modest footprint.
Practical benefits include an exceptionally long lease (950+ years), a share of the freehold, off-street parking and abundant basement storage — useful for bikes or seasonal items. Council tax sits in Band A, keeping running costs low for a city-centre location.
Important drawbacks are straightforward: the flat is small (about 312 ft²), heated by electric room heaters rather than a central system, and carries an EPC rating of E. The building’s solid-brick construction likely lacks wall insulation, which can mean higher heating costs and future retrofit work if improved efficiency is desired.
This property suits a first-time buyer seeking an affordable entry into Guildford or an investor looking for a let-ready period apartment close to transport links. Expect a balance of period charm and practical limitations — a tidy, well-located home that may benefit from energy upgrades and careful space planning.
