Set on the third floor of a modern low-rise block, this one-bedroom retirement apartment offers practical, low-maintenance living close to Chichester city centre. The layout includes a sitting room with a Juliet balcony, a double bedroom with built-in wardrobe, a fitted kitchen and a bath/shower room — all arranged within a compact 534 sq ft footprint suited to downsizers.
Communal facilities support independent living: maintained gardens, a residents’ lounge, dining room, guest suite, laundry room and a lift serving all floors. The building has electric storage heating, double glazing and emergency pull cords throughout, offering comfort and added safety for older residents.
Important considerations: the property is leasehold (86 years remaining) with a high service charge (£8,782) and ground rent (£405). The immediate area reports very high crime levels, so prospective buyers should check security arrangements and insurer requirements. The apartment is offered at a low entry price, reflecting its retirement status and service costs.
This is a practical choice for someone looking to downsize without losing access to nearby shops, cultural venues and transport links. It suits a buyer wanting communal support and position — within easy, level walking distance of Chichester’s amenities and regular bus routes.
