Step inside this ground-floor, one-bedroom flat in Upperton—freshly refurbished and ready to move into. A private entrance leads to a bright lounge, separate fitted kitchen and contemporary bathroom, with a small patio for outdoor space. The property’s recent upgrade makes it an easy first purchase or straightforward buy-to-let.
Practical running costs and specifics are clear: the home uses electric storage heaters and electricity is the main fuel, so heating costs can be higher than gas. The flat is leasehold (very long lease remaining) with a service charge of about £1,200 per year and a very low council tax band.
Construction is typical of its era: solid brick walls with assumed no cavity insulation, double glazing fitted, and elevated ceiling heights in places. That means the flat benefits from period character and thermal mass but may be less thermally efficient than newer builds—insulation improvements are possible but would require investigation.
Location is a strong feature. Upperton places shops, buses and parks within easy reach and the town centre and train station (links to London and Brighton) are nearby. Note the local crime rate is above average; prospective buyers should factor neighbourhood safety into their decision.
Overall this is a compact, low-maintenance home that suits first-time buyers wanting a move-in-ready property or investors seeking a recently renovated rental in a well-connected town location.
