A compact two-bedroom maisonette in the heart of Chichester, arranged over two levels and well placed for the city centre, station and local amenities. The principal bedroom occupies the upper floor within the loft space and feels light and private, while the reception room on the first floor offers a comfortable living/dining area with a fireplace and tall ceilings typical of the period.
Practical features include a very long lease (remainder of 999 years from 2000) with a peppercorn ground rent, gas central heating to radiators, double glazing and a private parking space to the rear plus permit parking at the front. A small private garden provides outdoor space unusual for flats at this price and location.
The layout is efficient but compact: the kitchen footprint is small and the upper bedroom has reduced headroom into the eaves. The building is solid-brick Victorian/Edwardian stock and likely to benefit from cosmetic updating and improved insulation where required. Crime levels in the area are reported above average, which buyers should factor into location suitability.
This property will suit first-time buyers seeking a central Chichester base, downsizers wanting a compact town-home with outdoor space, or investors targeting steady rental demand in an affluent, well-connected city location. Essential checks include a survey for insulation and structure, and confirmation of the modest contribution towards buildings insurance as part of the lease arrangements.
