Summary - FLAT 6, 38 SHELLEY ROAD, WORTHING CENTRAL BN11 4BX
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Light-filled one-bedroom flat near seafront with long lease and private parking.
South-facing living room with high ceilings and original cornicing
Set within a converted Victorian mansion, this first-floor one-bedroom flat blends period charm with practical modern touches. High ceilings and original cornicing create a bright, airy living room that faces south and overlooks the communal garden. A modern open-plan kitchen with integrated appliances sits alongside the reception space, making the apartment feel larger than its footprint suggests.
The double bedroom is a generous size and features a bay window with garden views. The property comes chain free, includes unallocated residents-only off-street parking, and will benefit from a new 999-year lease on completion with a peppercorn ground rent. Its central location places the seafront 0.3 miles away and the mainline station under a mile, convenient for commuting and leisure.
Buyers should note a few material points: the building’s EPC rating is G and heating is by electric room heaters only. The building is solid brick with assumed lack of wall insulation, so improving thermal performance may be necessary and could incur cost. The surrounding area records very high crime and high deprivation indices, which may concern some purchasers or affect resale.
This flat suits a first-time buyer or couple seeking a characterful, low-maintenance base close to town and sea, who are prepared to manage higher running costs and consider energy improvements over time. With long lease security and no onward chain, it offers straightforward ownership and clear potential for cosmetic and efficiency upgrades.
