About
"The split-level layout gives this apartment a bit more separation than you’d usually expect, and the main living space has good natural light throughout the day.
The position also works particularly well, tucked just above the town while still being an easy walk into the High Street ." Iwan Hall - Chantries and Pewleys Positioned on Sydenham Road, just above Guildford town centre, this two-bedroom duplex apartment offers a split-level layout, private outside space and off-street parking, all within walking distance of the High Street, station and everyday amenities.
Offered with share of freehold and no onward chain, the property also presents clear opportunity for updating and improvement over time.
The apartment occupies the upper floors of an attractive period building, with its own private entrance leading into the main accommodation.
The duplex layout gives the property more of the feel of a house than a typical apartment. The main reception room runs the depth of the property and forms the natural centre of the home.
This dual aspect room brings in good natural light throughout the day, while the exposed brick fireplace helps define the sitting and dining areas.
To the rear, the conservatory extends the living accommodation further and overlooks the garden, working well as an additional sitting area, reading space or occasional workspace.
The kitchen sits separately from the main reception room and includes fitted units, integrated cooking appliances and work surfaces along both sides.
A glazed internal door keeps the space visually connected while maintaining separation.
Bedroom one sits to the front of the property with elevated views across the surrounding rooftops and period buildings, while the vaulted ceiling and rooflight help bring additional natural light into the room.
Bedroom two is positioned quietly to the rear with fitted mirrored wardrobes and could also work well as a home office or occasional guest room.
The first floor accommodation is complemented by a family bathroom.
Outside, the rear garden includes a paved terrace directly outside the conservatory together with mature planting beyond, creating a relatively enclosed and sheltered outside space.
An off-street parking space is positioned to the rear of the building.
Local Area Guildford continues to be one of Surrey’s most established town centres, combining independent cafés, restaurants and shops with fast rail connections into London Waterloo.
The nearby River Wey, surrounding countryside and access towards the Surrey Hills further add to the appeal of the location.
