Chain free with very long lease (963 years)
Set on a handsome Georgian façade just moments from Chichester city centre, this two-bedroom flat combines period character with a modern kitchen and private garage. High ceilings, large sash windows and original detailing give a spacious, characterful feel while the contemporary kitchen and two bathrooms add everyday convenience. The property is chain free and has a very long lease (963 years), making it straightforward to buy.
Practical positives include built-in storage throughout, an ensuite bedroom, a private garage for parking or storage, and an affordable council tax band. The location is a major asset: walking distance to shops, cafés, the theatre, university and hospital, with bus stops immediately outside and good rail links nearby.
Buyers should note the principal drawbacks plainly. Heating is electric with room heaters rather than a central system, and the building has solid brick walls with assumed no cavity insulation and secondary glazing — this may mean higher running costs and potential retrofit work. Crime in the immediate area is recorded as very high, which could affect security and insurance costs.
Overall, this flat will suit buyers who value central location and period character and who are prepared to accept electric heating and possible insulation improvements. It presents well for first-time buyers or city professionals seeking a ready-to-live-in home with long lease security and private parking, but purchasers wanting low running costs or modern central heating should budget for upgrades.
