This ground-floor one-bedroom garden flat sits in a popular Broadwater location, offering a compact but well-presented living space ideal for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors. The flat benefits from a private south-facing rear garden, a modern kitchen with integrated oven, and a cosy bay-window seating area in the lounge that adds character and natural light.
Practical aspects include a recently serviced boiler, an Energy Performance Certificate of C, and very low council tax (Band A). The unit is leasehold with 105 years remaining, a modest annual ground rent of £175 and an annual service charge of £1,678.21 — factor these running costs into affordability calculations.
The property is small (c. 438 sq ft) and best suited to a single occupant or couple. Heating is by electric storage heaters and radiators, which can be more expensive than gas. There are signs of potential damp/mould risk in the building in wet conditions; buyers should commission a survey if concerned. The terrace setting means rear and street outlooks are urban and close to neighbouring properties, not open views.
Overall this is an entry-level, low-maintenance flat with period charm and garden space in a well-served part of Worthing. It represents practical value for a first-time buyer seeking a manageable home near local shops, schools and transport links, or an investor after a straightforward rental unit — subject to checks on heating costs and any damp issues.
