Rivett Drake Close, Guildford GU2

Situated in the heart of the well-regarded Queen Elizabeth Park development, 5 Rivett Drake Close is a spacious and distinctive apartment with the rare advantage of a large, south-facing roof terrace. Offered to the market with no onward chain, the property is located in a well-maintained block that benefits from lift access and allocated parking.

Queen Elizabeth Park itself has a rich history. Formerly a Ministry of Defence barracks and depot from 1941 to 1993, it housed the Auxiliary Training Service, the Women’s Royal Army Corps, and the 3 Map Depot. In 1993, the 57-acre site was sold for residential development, and over the following years, Linden and Laing Homes transformed it into a vibrant community with plenty of open green space and mature trees. This particular property has remained in the same ownership since it was built.

Upon entering, you’re welcomed into a hallway with a large storage cupboard, ideal for coats and everyday essentials. The hallway leads to two generous double bedrooms and a spacious reception room, which measures an impressive 25' x 11'. This triple-aspect room offers ample space to live and dine, and features direct access to a balcony—also accessible from the second bedroom.
The kitchen, accessed from the reception room, is fitted with classic shaker-style units and includes a double electric oven, gas hob with cooker hood, washing machine, dishwasher, fridge freezer, laminated worktops, and a stainless steel sink and drainer.

The master bedroom features double doors opening to a Juliet balcony, a built-in wardrobe, and a modern four-piece en-suite comprising bath, walk-in shower, WC, and basin vanity unit. The second bedroom also includes built-in storage and benefits from access to a Jack and Jill bathroom, which serves the rest of the apartment and features a three-piece shower suite with WC and basin vanity unit.

A staircase from the reception room leads to a galleried living area on the first floor, which is also triple aspect and offers flexible use as a living room, home office, or occasional guest bedroom. From here, you step out onto a truly unique south-facing roof terrace, measuring approximately 25' x 20'. This elevated outdoor space provides far-reaching views across the area and beyond, making it an ideal spot to relax, entertain, or socialise—a standout feature rarely found in apartments.

This is a rare opportunity to acquire a distinctive and unique apartment in a well-regarded residential development.
