Tucked away on a private road a short walk from Guildford town centre and the mainline station, this detached two-bedroom house offers a rare chain-free opportunity in a central location. The Coach House combines a generous open-plan ground floor with practical outdoor space and a single off-street parking space included in the freehold — valuable for city living.
Internally the home is presented in good condition with a large kitchen/living/dining area, cloakroom, two well-proportioned bedrooms and a bathroom. The second bedroom opens onto a small balcony and rooms benefit from ample natural light. Modern features include a mains-gas boiler and double glazing (installed before 2002).
Buyers should note a few material points: the property’s solid brick walls are assumed to have no cavity insulation, glazing is older, and the plot is small with modest garden space. Crime levels in the immediate area are recorded as high, which some buyers will want to investigate further. Council tax is moderate.
This home will suit first-time buyers or downsizers seeking convenience, character and quick access to transport links; it also offers straightforward potential to improve thermal efficiency and personalise the finish. With no onward chain and excellent local amenities, it’s an attractive, practical city-centre purchase for someone looking for a detached property close to schools and rail links.
