A bright top-floor one-bedroom apartment with a long lease and no onward chain — ideal for a first-time buyer or buy-to-let starter. The flat sits in a Victorian terrace close to Littlehampton seafront, with a west-facing double bedroom and an open-plan living area that benefits from a Velux-lit landing and recent internal redecoration.
Practical positives include approximately 958 years remaining on the lease, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, and easy access to the beach, local shops, transport links and leisure facilities. The building has just undergone an external redecoration; communal upkeep is organised but a higher-than-normal service charge (£2,377.75 for 2025) applies this year because of that work and is expected to reduce in future.
The apartment is heated by electric storage heaters and has a mix of double and secondary glazing; note the property has an Energy Efficiency Rating of E. The building’s older construction (pre-1900 timber frame, assumed no insulation) and some low-ceiling/attic features mean further insulation or heating upgrades could improve comfort and running costs. Council tax is very low, and the home is offered chain free for a quick transaction.
Overall this is a compact, well-located flat with long-term lease security and clear potential for cosmetic and energy-performance improvements. It will suit someone wanting an affordable seaside base or a small investment with immediate rental/letting potential, provided they accept the electrical heating and possible retrofit work over time.
