A rare freehold parcel on The Paddock, GU1 2RQ, offers over half an acre in one of Guildford’s most desirable roads. The plot’s size and location make it a standout opportunity for investors seeking an asset with immediate and longer-term potential. Mobile signal is excellent and there is no flood risk.
Immediate income potential is highlighted by existing arrangements where neighbouring properties contribute to maintenance costs, providing a modest revenue stream from day one. The site is being sold at auction, which can suit buyers ready to move quickly and decisively.
Crucially, any development is subject to planning — no permissions are confirmed. Purchasers should factor in planning risk, council timelines and the need for professional surveys. Broadband speeds in the area are slow, which may affect some residential uses. The sale is unconditional; interested parties must rely on their own due diligence before bidding.
This offering suits experienced investors or developers with appetite for planning-led projects who value a rare, large freehold in an affluent Guildford location. The property’s city convenience, excellent schools nearby and low crime levels strengthen long-term rental or redevelopment prospects, but buyers must budget for planning, potential site works and connectivity improvements.
