A rare chain-free, top-floor two-bedroom apartment in the heart of Horsham, offering immediate central living with an extended lease (141 years). The flat is compact (approx. 496 sq ft) but well laid out: a generous main bedroom, separate lounge, and a kitchen that opens onto a pleasant outlook over the communal gardens. Heating and hot water are included in the service charge, simplifying running costs.
This property suits a first-time buyer or investor seeking a low-maintenance city-centre base with resident permit parking and easy access to shops, transport and good local schools. The service charge covers communal heating on a community scheme; ground rent is minimal at £20 pa, and council tax is very low.
Important practical points: the building is an early 20th-century solid-brick construction with single glazing and assumed no cavity wall insulation, so buyers should expect potential additional costs to improve thermal efficiency and soundproofing. The average service charge is relatively high at £3,500 per year; nearby area-level crime is noted as high, which may influence insurance and personal security considerations.
Overall this is a convenient, chain-free apartment with long lease security and clear potential for value-adding improvements (double glazing, insulation, cosmetic updates). Buyers should verify all lease and service charge details and consider refurbishment budgets to get the most from this compact central property.
