GU1 Regent House, Ward Street, Guildford

Attractive building in the heart of Guildford with planning consent to convert to 8 x apartments.

Regent House is an attractive Grade II Listed three storey mid-terrace property. The original building dates from 1876 and is described as a 'Former Temperance Hall'. There are two existing entrances to the front elevation and one entrance to the rear elevation via a shared courtyard. Accommodation is provided over lower ground, ground and two upper floors. The proposed accommodation comprises 8 x residential apartments over lower ground, ground and two upper floors.

The proposed scheme provides 3 x studio, 2 x 1 bed and 3 x 2 bed units with a NSA of 5,328 sq ft (495 sqm).

The proposed accommodation provides a separate bin store and cycle parking within the building. The S106 Unilateral Undertaking requires the developer to pay a SANG contribution of £45,080.38, SAMM contribution of £5,289.15 and Monitoring Fee of £895.

Although Regent House is Grade II Listed, the interior was comprehensively stripped out approximately 25 - 30 years ago. As a result, the only remaining listed feature internally is the original roof trusses. This makes a significant difference when it comes to adapting or converting the space, offering far greater flexibility than typically found in listed buildings.

Regent House is centrally located in Guildford town centre, just 0.1 miles from the High Street and 0.5 miles from Guildford railway station. Positioned on Ward Street, the property offers excellent access to local amenities including Waitrose, Sainsbury's, and a variety of shops and restaurants.

Guildford is a historic and affluent market town in Surrey, known for its cobbled High Street, cultural attractions, and strong educational institutions such as the University of Surrey and Royal Grammar School. The town benefits from excellent transport links, with direct access to the A3 and M25, frequent rail services to London Waterloo (from 33 minutes), and proximity to both Heathrow (19 miles) and Gatwick (25 miles) airports.
