Set on the first floor of a low-rise block, this two-bedroom flat overlooks a landscaped pond and communal gardens, offering pleasant outlooks from the dual-aspect lounge and both bedrooms. The layout provides a generous lounge/diner, separate kitchen and garage in a compound — useful for owners or renters. Its location in Tarring places shops, schools and bus links within easy reach, making it practical for first-time buyers or investors.
The property requires full modernisation: the kitchen and bathroom are dated, and heating is via electric storage heaters. The EPC rating is D and walls are likely uninsulated, so expect refurbishment costs to upgrade energy performance and comfort. Service charge and ground rent apply (£1,620 and £240 pa respectively).
Important tenure note: the lease has 85 years remaining. While sale is chain-free, the relatively short lease will need addressing soon and may affect mortgage availability and future costs. This flat represents clear scope for value-add improvement — suitable for someone happy to invest time and money to upgrade for owner-occupation or rental income.
