This first-floor maisonette sits just 0.5 miles from Rustington seafront and a short stroll to village shops and cafes — an attractive spot for first-time buyers or those seeking a seaside base. The layout delivers two double bedrooms, a comfortably sized lounge and a contemporary compact kitchen with integrated appliances. A private entrance and garden add useful outdoor space and privacy not always found at this price point.
Practical running costs are modest: gas central heating, double glazing and low council tax help keep bills down. The flat is offered chain free with a new lease to be granted on completion, making for a straightforward move if you accept the need to address the remaining lease term. Off‑road parking and a driveway add everyday convenience.
Important: the current lease has 83 years remaining and a ground rent of about £100pa. That remaining term is below the level many lenders and buyers prefer, so a lease extension will be needed promptly — this will be an additional cost and process to factor into any purchase. The building’s cavity walls are assumed uninsulated, so future buyers may want to consider insulation improvements.
Overall, this is a well-located, sensible two-bedroom maisonette with private outdoor space and seaside access. It suits first-time buyers ready to invest a little time and money into securing the lease and modest modernisation, or buy-to-let investors targeting steady rental demand in an affluent, low-crime area.
