Compact, characterful first-floor flat near seafront — low running costs, some maintenance required.
Freehold one-bedroom first-floor flat, approximately 374 sq ft
A compact first-floor freehold flat in West Worthing, ideal for someone looking to downsize to a manageable, well-located home. The apartment occupies a period conversion with a generous 17ft west-facing lounge/diner that brings afternoon light and a sense of space. Double-glazed windows and a gas-fired central heating system give practical comfort year-round.
The layout is straightforward: entrance hall with storage and loft access, living/dining room, kitchen with door and steps to outside, one double bedroom with built-in storage, and a modern bathroom. The building dates from the early 20th century and retains character features such as high ceilings and bay windows at the property exterior.
Buyers should note the flat is small (approximately 374 sq ft) and the building’s solid brick walls are assumed to lack insulation, so there may be scope — and cost — to improve thermal performance. The external description mentions some ornate period detailing but also indicates maintenance needs and a potential damp risk; a survey is recommended. Council Tax Band A makes running costs modest, and the freehold tenure removes leasehold complications.
Location is a clear asset: West Worthing, close to the seafront, shops and mainline station, with low local crime, good mobile signal and fast broadband. This suits someone seeking a compact, characterful home with easy access to transport and local amenities, or an investor wanting a straightforward rental in a very affluent area.
