A spacious one-bedroom ground-floor apartment in a converted Victorian building, conveniently located a short walk from Billingshurst village centre and the mainline station. The layout offers a generous living room, double bedroom, modern kitchen and bathroom, plus a private cellar and access to communal gardens—useful for low‑maintenance outdoor space.
Practical benefits include gas central heating, double glazing, allocated parking for two cars and a long lease of 978 years, effectively providing the security of long-term tenure. At around 817 sq ft, the apartment feels larger than many one-bed flats and suits someone seeking comfortable, single-level living close to local amenities and transport links.
The property does require internal renovation and ongoing maintenance; cosmetic and possible systems work are needed to realise its full potential. The building is older (pre‑1900) with solid brick walls (no assumed insulation), so buyers should factor in possible insulation or upgrade costs. EPC rating D and the unclear double-glazing install date are also points to consider.
Note the locality has a higher reported crime level, which may concern some buyers, and the property is leasehold. Positively, there is no chain, council tax is low and the near station and village centre make this a practical choice for downsizers or buyers seeking a commuter base who are prepared to invest in modest refurbishment.
