This first-floor two-bedroom apartment in Portslade Old Village offers generous room proportions rarely found in a purpose-built block. South-facing living and sleeping rooms deliver good natural light, while a 17' lounge and a recently fitted 15' kitchen provide comfortable day-to-day living and easy entertaining. Built-in storage and a long entrance hallway create practical space, and one cupboard even provides wiring and lighting suitable for a compact home office.
The building sits in well-kept communal grounds with resident unallocated parking and off-street spaces; garages may be available to rent. Service charges and ground rent are modest, and the lease has a reasonable term remaining, making this property straightforward for first-time buyers or buy-to-let purchasers. Local transport links are strong, with mainline rail and frequent bus routes close by.
Buyers should be aware of local context: the wider area is classified as high deprivation and recorded crime levels are above average. The flat occupies a mid-20th-century block (circa 1967–75) with standard double glazing and gas central heating; while finishes are neutral and largely modern, the building’s age means some communal maintenance will be ongoing over time. Parking is on a first-come, first-served basis rather than allocated.
Overall this flat suits someone seeking roomy accommodation at a competitive price with low running costs and good transport access. It works well as a starter home or a rental purchase for investors prepared for a neighbourhood with mixed socio-economic indicators.
