A bright, southerly-aspect first-floor retirement apartment in Henty Gardens, presented in good decorative order and ready to move into. The single-bedroom layout is compact but well-proportioned at about 468 sq ft, with a living room, small kitchen and one bathroom; double glazing is already installed. Communal facilities include a residents’ lounge, laundry, well-kept gardens, two guest suites and an on-site estate manager — useful for social life and practical support. A lift serves the block for step-free access.
Practical running costs and arrangements are straightforward: main heating is via electric room heaters and the property is served by standard electricity (not a communal system). Ground rent is modest at £200. The EPC is rated C. Broadband speeds in the area are reported as slow, but mobile signal is excellent. The local area is very affluent with very low crime and good nearby amenities including shops, healthcare and bus links.
Important lease information: the property is leasehold with 59 years remaining. That limited lease length may restrict mortgage options and could mean lenders refuse to lend; buyers should obtain specialist mortgage advice and check costs for extending the lease. The apartment offers a low-maintenance retirement option close to Chichester facilities, best suited to downsizers seeking community facilities rather than those wanting a long lease or low-cost heating.
Overall this is a tidy, well-located retirement flat offering social communal facilities and a sunny aspect. It provides immediate usability and convenience for an older buyer seeking supportive on-site services, but the short lease and electric heating are material considerations for financing and running-cost expectations.
