Summary - WYCLIFFE BUILDINGS 6 PORTSMOUTH ROAD GUILDFORD GU2 4BW
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Newly renovated one-bed flat with long lease, minutes from Guildford town centre.
Top-floor one-bedroom apartment with period character
A bright, newly renovated one-bedroom top-floor apartment in a handsome Victorian building, moments from Guildford town centre. The flat is presented in very good condition with a modern kitchen, contemporary shower room and large double bedroom — ideal for a first-time buyer seeking a low-maintenance city base with character. The kitchen window provides far-reaching views across Guildford, and the living room benefits from clear natural light.
Practical details strengthen the purchase case: a long lease (113 years) and a share of freehold provide secure tenure, while fast broadband and excellent mobile signal suit home working or streaming. Communal maintenance is covered through an annual service charge of £1,661; ground rent is currently £200 per year and reviewed annually.
Be aware of a few material facts: heating is by electric storage heaters and the building’s original sandstone walls are assumed uninsulated; secondary glazing is fitted rather than full double glazing. The property occupies the top floor, reached by stairs, which may limit accessibility and moving large items. Crime levels in the area are above average — sensible security measures are recommended.
Overall, this compact apartment offers a well-presented, characterful city-centre home with secure tenure and good digital connectivity. It will appeal to a buyer prioritising location, minimal upkeep and period charm, and who is comfortable with electric heating and a smaller overall footprint.
