A ground-floor two-bedroom flat set in a charming yellow-brick period building overlooking Southwick Green. The apartment combines original features — bay-fronted lounge, floorboards and fireplace — with a sleek modern kitchen and bathroom, creating a comfortable, low-stairs home ideal for downsizers seeking a manageable garden and easy access to local amenities.
The flat benefits from a private patio garden plus a decorative front garden with a rare open outlook across The Green. Level access leads directly to Southwick Square’s shops, cafes and a Little Waitrose; Southwick train station is about a ten-minute walk. Practical fittings include a gas boiler with radiators, secondary glazing and built-in storage.
Important practical points: the property is a 50% share of freehold between two flats with maintenance handled on an "as and when" basis. External walls are likely uninsulated (original granite/whinstone construction) and glazing is secondary rather than full double glazing, which may affect heating efficiency and future improvement costs. The local area records above-average crime, which buyers should factor into their decision.
Overall, this flat will suit a buyer seeking ground-floor living with period character, a private outdoor space and exceptional proximity to local shops and transport. It offers straightforward living now with clear scope for insulating and efficiency upgrades to personalise and reduce running costs.
