Bright, well-presented one-bedroom top-floor flat in Wentworth Court, offering a generous living room, recently fitted kitchen and shower room, and a covered west-facing balcony with views towards the South Downs. The large double bedroom has fitted storage, and the flat benefits from lift access and a garage — practical features for reduced-mobility buyers or anyone wanting easy access and extra storage.
The building sits within established communal gardens and is part of a managed scheme where gas heating is covered by the service charge. The long lease (136 years) and recently upgraded finishes reduce immediate maintenance concerns and make the property straightforward to move into. Nearby shops, bus routes and the train station are all within walking distance, adding everyday convenience.
Buyers should note the relatively high annual service charge (£3,870) which includes a general reserve contribution and communal heating; this has the advantage of predictable heating costs but increases ongoing outgoings. The block dates from the late 1960s/early 1970s and external walls are cavity-built with no known added insulation, so consider future energy-efficiency improvements when evaluating running costs.
Overall this is a sensible move-in-ready option for someone downsizing or seeking a low-stairs lifestyle with outdoor space, a garage and easy transport links. The property presents little immediate work but carries communal running costs that buyers must factor into affordability calculations.
