This well-presented first-floor one-bedroom apartment in central Guildford offers a compact, move-in-ready home or buy-to-let opportunity. The flat has a good-size living room with a bay window, a modern kitchen with oak worktops, a double bedroom with fitted wardrobes and a white bathroom — all in a purpose-built 1980s block with maintained communal grounds.
Practical features include a secure entry system, ample residents’ parking and double glazing. The 86-year lease, EPC band C and the apartment’s central GU1 location support straightforward rental demand or convenient city living for a first-time buyer.
Important practical points are stated plainly: heating is by electric room heaters which can be more expensive than gas central heating; the annual service charge is around £1,980; and the property sits in a medium flood-risk area with a higher local crime rate. These factors affect running costs and insurance and should be checked before committing.
Overall this is a compact, well-kept city flat suited to buyers seeking a central, low-maintenance home or a rental investment with steady demand. Scope for major alteration or private outdoor space is limited because of the communal block layout.
