This bright first-floor one-bedroom apartment in Potters Mead offers straightforward, affordable entry into Littlehampton’s rental and owner-occupier market. Set within well-kept communal gardens, the flat features a generous 16'3" lounge, a double bedroom, fitted kitchen, large bathroom and three built-in storage cupboards. Double glazing and electric storage heating provide basic comfort; the EPC currently sits at band D (around 45) with clear scope for improvement.
Practical running costs are a plus: a low service charge (approx. £600pa) and minimal ground rent (£10pa) help keep overheads down, and the 102-year lease gives peace of mind for buyers and landlords. Offered chain-free and within easy walking distance of the train station and local bus routes, the apartment is well placed for commuters and those seeking seaside amenities.
Be realistic about the drawbacks: heating is by electric storage heaters (higher running costs than gas), and the property sits in an area with above-average crime rates and higher deprivation metrics. There is no private outdoor space and parking is on-street only. The accommodation is typical in size for a one-bedroom flat — efficient but not spacious.
Overall, this property suits first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors seeking a low-entry purchase with immediate rental potential (quoted approx. £850pcm). Energy upgrades and cosmetic modernisation would improve living comfort and lettability, and could increase the EPC rating and long-term value.
