Summary - 51B SOUTH TERRACE LITTLEHAMPTON BN17 5LE
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
South-facing upper ground flat with direct sea views and no onward chain.
South-facing living room with bay window and seafront views
A compact upper-ground apartment set directly on Littlehampton’s seafront, ideal as a seaside bolt-hole or starter home. The south-facing living room with bay window delivers strong natural light and estuary views; recent upgrades include a replacement boiler (2023), double glazing and a re-fitted shower room. The property is chain free and presented in good condition, ready to occupy.
Practical running costs are clear: mains gas central heating, manageable service charge and a low ground rent. Transport and local amenities are excellent — promenade, cafés, shops and the mainline station are all within easy reach. Mobile signal is excellent and local primary and secondary schools have good Ofsted ratings.
Important cautions: the flat is leasehold with approximately 81 years remaining, which will restrict mortgage options and will likely require lease extension soon. The building is older Victorian stock with solid brick walls and assumed limited insulation. The area has above-average crime statistics, higher deprivation and a medium flooding risk — buyers should check insurance and flood-prevention measures.
Overall this is a genuine seaside opportunity for a first-time buyer or investor seeking a low-maintenance holiday let, offering immediate occupation and strong location appeal, but with lease and local-risk factors to resolve promptly.
