Set in the heart of Guildford town centre, this second-floor two-bedroom apartment offers a compact, well-lit living space ideal for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors. The building provides practical modern finishes, a communal lift and the convenience of two parking permits — rare for a central location. The property is a short walk from the mainline station, shops and local amenities, making daily travel and town living straightforward.
Inside are two double bedrooms and a separate modern kitchen, arranged across about 547 sq ft. The apartment benefits from a share of freehold and a predictable service charge (£875 paid twice yearly, approx. £1,750 annually). Natural light to the front rooms and contemporary styling make the flat immediately usable, with straightforward layout suitable for rental or owner-occupation.
Buyers should note a few material points: heating is electric via room heaters rather than gas central heating, the EPC is rated D (score 68), and the building footprint is compact with limited private outdoor space. Annual running costs and comfort may be affected by electric heating; prospective purchasers should factor potential upgrade costs for energy efficiency or heating improvements.
The area is lively and well served but records higher crime levels than average; this central urban location suits those prioritising transport and amenities over suburban tranquillity. Overall, the property is a convenient, low-maintenance central flat with clear appeal for commuters and investors seeking reliable town-centre rental income or a practical first home.
