This bright two-bedroom first-floor apartment in Links Close offers a practical, well-presented home with immediate move-in potential. The property benefits from a private entrance, no neighbours above and a large bay-windowed living room that fills the space with natural light. With 617 sqft, two doubles and a sensible layout, it suits first-time buyers, couples or downsizers wanting straightforward, low-hassle living.
Location is a key strength: a short walk to Portslade Station and Boundary Road’s shops, cafes and amenities makes commuting and daily errands easy. The long lease (159 years), chain-free sale and a below-average annual service charge (£890) add financial clarity and convenience for buyers and investors.
There are a few practical considerations: the building dates from the late 1960s/early 1970s and the cavity walls are assumed uninsulated, so buyers may want to budget for energy-efficiency improvements. The glazing was installed before 2002 and, while double glazed, could be updated in time. The area reports higher local crime levels, which some buyers will want to investigate further.
Overall, this apartment presents a well-located, long-lease opportunity with sensible running costs and comfortable accommodation. It’s particularly attractive for first-time buyers or investors seeking a ready-to-rent property near transport links, but consider potential insulation and window upgrades and note local crime statistics when viewing.
