Set on the fifth floor with a private balcony, this two-bedroom apartment looks out across Withdean Park and brings natural light into a well-laid-out lounge/dining space. The separate kitchen, full bathroom and useful storage make this a practical first home or lettable flat. The property is chain free and the lease has recently been extended, reducing immediate lease length risk.
Practical extras include a garage and off-street parking (first-come, first-served) and a communal lawn surrounding the mid‑century block. At about 571 sq ft the apartment is compact but arranged for everyday comfort. The building’s 1967–75 construction gives a distinct mid‑century character but also means some original systems remain.
Buyers should note the property is leasehold and heated by electric storage heaters, which can be more expensive than gas central heating. The double glazing was installed before 2002 and may not meet modern performance standards. There is potential for cosmetic improvement and energy-efficiency upgrades to add value and lower running costs.
This apartment will suit first-time buyers seeking a manageable, well‑located home with park views, or investors looking for a straightforward rental in a very low-crime, affluent area with strong broadband and transport links. Transparent condition notes let you factor refurbishment and heating upgrades into your plans.
