No Chain and tenants in situ make this four-bedroom semi-detached cottage an immediately investable buy. Currently let for £1,495pcm with occupants looking to remain long term, it offers steady rental income from day one and strong seaside demand thanks to its exceptional location just 200m from Bognor beachfront and within walking distance of the train station.
The house retains period character with beamed ceilings and traditional room layouts across roughly 1,259 sq ft. Accommodation includes two reception rooms, a kitchen/diner, principal bedroom with en-suite, three further double bedrooms and a family bathroom. Practical benefits include an integral garage plus two allocated parking spaces — rare central parking in this area — and mains gas central heating.
Buyers should note this is an older solid-brick property (built before 1900) where walls are assumed uninsulated; sympathetic upgrading may be needed for insulation, energy efficiency and ongoing maintenance typical of period stock. Broadband speeds are average, mobile signal is excellent, and the plot is small, limiting garden/extension potential.
The local area is very deprived with a very high crime rate and a mixed, cosmopolitan population; these factors affect tenant profiles and management considerations. For an investor seeking a central, seaside letting with immediate income and scope to add value through targeted improvements, this presents a clear opportunity. Prospective purchasers are advised to commission a full inspection and structural survey before exchange.
