About this home
Located on the sought-after Sydney Road, this beautifully finished two double bedroom garden apartment offers the perfect blend of period charm and contemporary living — all just a short stroll from Guildford’s vibrant cobbled High Street. Occupying the lower ground floor of an attractive period conversion, the apartment boasts its own private entrance and a spacious, thoughtfully designed layout. Original features such as exposed brickwork and a working fireplace add warmth and character, while modern touches — including a sleek, fully integrated kitchen with wine cooler — ensure effortless day-to-day living. The elegant bathroom is a real highlight, featuring a luxurious roll-top bath, a large separate walk-in shower, and stylish exposed brick detailing. Both double bedrooms include built-in wardrobes, offering plenty of storage without compromising on space. The bright and inviting sitting room opens out through French doors onto a private, south-west facing garden — an idyllic spot for relaxing or entertaining. The garden also includes a large 18ft shed and further outbuildings at the front of the property, ideal for additional storage. Parking is available via Guildford Borough Council’s resident permit scheme. Situated in the heart of historic Guildford, the apartment enjoys easy access to an exceptional range of shops, cafes, restaurants, and cultural attractions. The mainline train station is within walking distance, providing fast and frequent services to London Waterloo in around 36 minutes. The A3 is also nearby, linking to the M25 and wider motorway network. Guildford is renowned for its excellent schools in both the independent and state sectors, including Guildford High School, The Royal Grammar School, Tormead, and George Abbot. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a characterful and spacious garden flat in one of Guildford’s most desirable locations — perfect for professionals, downsizers, or anyone seeking the convenience of town centre living with a private outdoor retreat.
