West-facing balcony with direct River Adur views
A bright, contemporary two-bedroom apartment in the riverside Oystercatcher development, arranged over the second floor with a west-facing balcony overlooking the River Adur. The open-plan living/kitchen floods with afternoon light and leads onto the balcony, creating an attractive indoor–outdoor living space ideal for evening sunsets and riverside views. The modern kitchen has integrated appliances; the main bedroom benefits from an en-suite shower room and the second bedroom offers a full wall of fitted wardrobes.
Practical features include an allocated off-street parking space, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, plus convenient walking access to Shoreham town centre, Shoreham Beach and the mainline station. The building is essentially new, with a long lease (999 years) and share of freehold which simplifies ownership compared with a typical leasehold flat.
Notable running costs to consider: the average service charge is £2,179 (figure provided) and council tax is described as above average. Heating is via a boiler with electric underfloor elements, which can be efficient but may carry higher electricity costs depending on tariffs. The apartment is an average-sized 786 sq ft, so space is comfortable but not expansive.
This property will suit buyers seeking a low-maintenance, stylish riverside home close to amenities and transport. Investors should note the strong local rental appeal but factor in the service charge and council tax when modelling returns. Families or downsizers will value the proximity to several well-regarded primary and independent schools nearby.
