Rare opportunity to buy a stunning property near Guildford town centre

Antler Homes’ York Place development in Guildford, Surrey, is perfectly positioned to appeal to young, professional commuters.

It is conveniently located close to one of the most popular town centres in the country and is architecturally striking. The development comprises 11 one and two bedroom apartments spread over three storeys in a beautifully designed building. Antler Homes has used attractive red and yellow brick accented with stonework to showcase gabling and turrets inspired by the most recognisable facets of 19th century architecture.

Thanks to its proximity to London and its attractive, bustling town centre, Guildford has long since been rated as one of the most desirable towns in which to live within London’s Commuter Belt. With property price rises of 48% since 2001, the town has enjoyed strong but sustainable growth which looks set to continue as more City workers look to move away from the hustle and bustle of London to enjoy a more leisurely life in the surrounding towns.

Ken Mead, of Guildford estate agents Clarke Gammon Wellers, comments: “Guildford’s popularity with commuters continues to grow. The town offers residents something a bit different from your average London Commuter Belt Market Town: it has a lovely cobbled high street with a wide range of independent boutiques in additional to the usual high street chains, all set on the edge of the beautiful North Downs. Properties within walking distance of the high street and Guildford’s train stations command very high prices, and will continue to do so, as more buyers look to enjoy the pace of life outside of London.”

The spacious apartments are filled with light due to large windows and some even benefit from French windows which open off the living / dining area. All the homes include luxury, custom built kitchens which incorporate high quality Siemens appliances including stainless steel gas hob and oven, an integrated fridge freezer, dishwasher and washer / dryer. The light, spacious master bedrooms feature fitted Hammond wardrobes and many have en-suite bathrooms.

The development is conveniently located close to all the shops and amenities of Guildford town centre. The apartments are close to London Road station, which has regular trains to London Waterloo (journey time 38 minutes approximately), and are a short distance from the town centre.

York Place is due to complete in April 2007. One bedroom maisonettes start from, £265,000, one bedroom apartments from £275,000 and two bedroom apartments from £395,000. For further information, visit antlerhomes.co.uk.
