A practical, low-maintenance ground-floor apartment with a private courtyard, newly converted in 2020 and offered chain free. The open-plan living area opens via double patio doors to the rear courtyard, giving easy indoor-outdoor flow and useful storage/secure rear access for bikes. The contemporary fitted kitchen includes integrated appliances and the bathroom is finished to a modern standard.
This property is well suited to a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor: compact living across approximately 419 sq.ft., gas central heating, double glazing, and a long lease (119 years) make ownership straightforward. Service charge and ground rent are modest for the development (around £750pa service charge and £150 ground rent). Advertised rental value is approx. £875pcm, providing clear income potential if let.
There are important local considerations to note: the area scores high for deprivation and crime is very high, which may affect long-term capital growth and tenant demand. Broadband speeds are average and the apartment is small — best suited to a single occupant or couple rather than a family. These factors are balanced by excellent mobile signal, proximity to Littlehampton station, town amenities and beaches, and low council tax costs.
