A well-presented, compact two-bedroom first-floor flat in central Shoreham offering immediate move-in ease or straightforward rental potential. The main bedroom’s bay window and an open-plan living/dining room give the apartment a bright, usable feel despite its modest footprint. Neutral décor and a modern kitchen and bathroom reduce short-term work for buyers.
Practical advantages include an under-croft allocated parking space — a rare find in this central location — plus excellent transport links with the train station and town amenities a short walk away. The long lease (147 years remaining) and affordable council tax make this an accessible purchase for first-time buyers or a low-management buy-to-let.
Notable considerations: heating is by electric storage heaters and walls are likely uninsulated cavity construction, so energy costs and comfort could be improved with upgrades. The property sits in an area recorded with a very high local crime rate; prospective buyers should check local statistics and insurance costs. Annual service charge is around £1,474.
Overall, this modest 568 sq ft flat suits buyers seeking a central, low-fuss home or an investor looking for a lettable property with good commuter links. It presents clear scope for energy-efficiency improvements and cosmetic tweaks to add value.
