Set on a secure purpose-built block close to Guildford’s cobbled High Street, this one-bedroom flat offers contemporary, low-maintenance living for a first-time buyer or investor. The open-plan living area opens onto a private balcony, creating a bright, compact apartment ideal for city-centre convenience and easy entertaining. The building includes porterage, lift access and a well-kept communal courtyard garden.
Residents benefit from communal leisure facilities including a gym and swimming pool plus a secure off-street parking space. The flat is double-glazed, has electric underfloor heating and sits in a modern development built in the early 2000s. The share of freehold and an exceptionally long lease (978 years) remove common leasehold concerns.
There are some practical costs and neighbourhood considerations to note. The annual service charge is around £2,200, reflecting the communal facilities and porterage. The area is classified as a cosmopolitan, multicultural student neighbourhood and local crime levels are recorded as very high — a factor buyers should weigh against the property’s town-centre convenience and rental potential.
At about 490 sq ft, the apartment is an average-sized one-bedroom offering straightforward, contemporary finishes rather than expansive space. It will suit a buyer seeking a well-managed, central pied-à-terre or an investor targeting lettings close to the university and town amenities, rather than someone needing larger family accommodation.
