Ground-floor two-bedroom apartment with direct communal garden access, garage and communal parking, offered with vacant possession and no onward chain. The layout is practical: entrance hall, storage cupboards, a generous living/dining room with garden access, fitted kitchen and two double bedrooms with built-in wardrobes. The bathroom has been refurbished and the flat benefits from double glazing and average overall living space (773 sq ft).
This property suits first-time buyers or investors seeking a village-location flat close to Barnham village shops, primary schools and the mainline train station. The vendor intends to extend the lease to 155 years on completion, which addresses the short lease currently in place and will improve long-term mortgageability and resale potential. EPC rating C and well-kept communal grounds add to the everyday appeal.
There are important practical factors to note: the current lease has 56 years remaining and mortgage lenders may refuse to lend until the extension is completed. Service charges are approximately £2,000 per year and ground rent about £100 per year. Heating is by electric storage heaters and the property sits in an area with medium flood risk and higher-than-average local crime statistics, which should be considered when budgeting and arranging insurance.
Overall, this chain-free, ground-floor flat offers immediate occupation or rental opportunity with clear upside once the lease extension completes. Buyers who prioritise transport links, outdoor access and a low-maintenance village flat will find this a straightforward purchase, provided they factor in service costs, heating type and local risk considerations.
