Long lease (~143 years) and very low ground rent (£15)
Section of south-facing rear garden included (cannot be enclosed)
No allocated parking; on-street permit required (Zone E)

Set on Winchester Road, this first-floor one-bedroom flat combines Victorian character with practical everyday living. A generous bay-fronted lounge/diner, sash-style double glazing and high ceilings preserve period charm while the fitted kitchen and bathroom offer ready-to-live-in convenience. The flat is chain free and sits a short walk from Worthing town centre and the seafront — ideal for commuting, leisure and local amenities.
The long lease (about 143 years) and very low ground rent (circa £15) are definite ownership strengths, and mains gas central heating keeps running costs straightforward. Council Tax is low (Band A), and broadband and mobile signals are good in this area. There is a section of south-facing rear garden included, providing a private outdoor spot and extra amenity uncommon for a first-floor flat.
Buyers should note some practical limitations: there is no allocated parking and on-street permits (Zone E) apply; the garden area cannot be enclosed with hard boundaries according to the deeds. The building’s solid brick construction likely lacks wall insulation, which could mean higher heating costs until improved. Pets are not permitted and communal maintenance costs are shared between four flats.
Overall this is a compact, characterful flat that will suit a first-time buyer or investor wanting a low-entry property near seafront and town. It needs little immediate work to occupy, but there is clear scope to improve thermal performance and personalise internal finishes to increase comfort and long-term value.
