A deceptively spacious two-bedroom ground-floor flat on Stanhope Road, recently renovated and ready to move into. High ceilings and period features in the living room give character, while a modern kitchen and bathroom provide contemporary convenience. The property offers single-level living ideal for a first home or buy-to-let.
Practical benefits include a sunny, low-maintenance rear yard with a timber shed, artificial grass to the front and generous room proportions across about 787 sq ft. The long lease (about 977 years from 2001) with a peppercorn ground rent gives long-term security, and council tax is Band A which keeps ongoing costs low.
Be aware this sits in an area with high crime rates and wider local deprivation — factors that may affect family choice and rental demand. The building is solid brick with assumed no cavity insulation and the EPC is D; further insulation or energy upgrades could reduce running costs.
Local amenities, parks, good bus links and nearby Chichester Metro Station make commuting straightforward. Several well-rated schools are within walking distance, though one nearby primary has an inadequate Ofsted rating; buyers should check catchment and schooling priorities personally.
