A bright, ground-floor one-bedroom flat set in a Victorian building, with a sunny south-facing lounge and private street entrance. The home is compact but well laid out, with a fitted kitchen, separate shower room plus a bathroom, and an unusually large cellar that provides valuable storage or potential for conversion (subject to permissions).
Practical benefits include a car parking space, communal garden access, double glazing, a 120-year lease remaining and a share of the freehold. Sold chain-free and close to the seafront, mainline station, shops, cafés and restaurants, it suits someone wanting low-maintenance living in central Worthing.
Important points to note: the flat is small at about 375 sq ft and best for single occupancy or a couple. The building is Victorian solid brick with assumed no wall insulation, so heating costs could be higher than a modern build despite mains gas central heating. The area scores high for crime and ranks as very deprived, which may concern some buyers.
There is an average service charge of around £1,200 per year. While the property is habitable, buyers should allow for routine maintenance and consider insulation or energy-efficiency improvements. Overall this is a practical, affordable entry into Worthing with good location advantages and clear scope for personalisation.
