Summary - COURTLANDS THE TOWERS CHILLING STREET SHARPTHORNE EAST GRINSTEAD RH19 4JF
3 bed 2 bath Apartment
South Downs views, communal gardens and two parking spaces.
First-floor apartment with high ceilings and large bay windows
A well-proportioned first-floor apartment within a grand early 20th‑century house, Courtlands combines generous room sizes and period character with far-reaching views across the South Downs. The sitting room’s large bay and the principal bedroom both take advantage of the outlook, while communal gardens wrap the property on three sides for private outdoor space without maintenance of your own plot. Two allocated parking spaces and cellar storage add practical convenience for everyday living.
The layout suits downsizers seeking spacious, single-floor living with room for visitors or a home study; the principal bedroom has an en-suite and there is an additional cloakroom. The kitchen is fitted and includes integrated appliances, and most rooms have laminate flooring for ease of upkeep. The building’s Victorian proportions and high ceilings bring light and a sense of scale rarely found in modern flats.
Buyers should note material leasehold issues: just over seven decades remain on the lease (circa 71–72 years), which may make mortgage lending difficult or impossible without a lease extension. Service charges and a small ground rent apply (service charge around £1,617.84 plus £102pm for gardens; ground rent £50pa) and Council Tax is band E, above average. The property has an LPG boiler and solid brick walls (likely uninsulated), so heating costs and energy performance may be higher than newer builds.
Overall this is a comfortable, characterful apartment with excellent communal grounds and countryside views, best suited to buyers who can proceed cash-purchase or who will address the lease length with a specialist solicitor or by negotiating a lease extension.
