This duplex apartment occupies the first and second floors of a period building in central Midhurst, within the South Downs National Park. The accommodation extends to approximately 917 sq ft and includes two double bedrooms, a bright dual-aspect sitting/dining room, a modern fitted kitchen and a fully tiled shower room. Large windows and an open-plan living area give a feeling of space and light suited to comfortable town-centre living.
The property is offered under the Modern Method of Auction and suits buyers who can move quickly and understand associated costs: immediate exchange, completion within 28 days, a 10% non-refundable deposit and an additional reservation fee apply. The unit is leasehold with 65 years remaining — materially below the length many mortgage lenders accept. Prospective buyers should check funding options or plan for lease-extension costs.
Practical details: heating is by electric storage heaters and mains electricity; the building has cavity walls with no assumed insulation; glazing is double but install date is unknown. These factors point to likely running and upgrade costs (insulation, heating improvements) that a buyer may wish to budget for. On the positive side, the setting in an affluent, very low-crime small-town fringe gives excellent local amenities, good mobile signal and average broadband for everyday needs.
This home will suit a downsizer or investor who values central location, period character and a sizeable two-bedroom layout. It offers immediate occupation potential but also clear scope for energy and cosmetic improvements — and requires buyers to factor in lease and auction-related costs before bidding.
