Summary - 131 ELBRIDGE CRESCENT BOGNOR REGIS PO21 4JL
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Ideal starter home with outdoor space and low monthly charges.
Private rear garden unusual for a top-floor flat
A bright, well-presented one-bedroom apartment with unusual outdoor space for its level. The property benefits from its own private entrance, a pleasant front forecourt and a generous rear garden — a rare asset for a top-floor home and a tangible plus for everyday living or entertaining. The open-plan living and modern high-gloss kitchen create a sociable main area, and a second small room offers useful flexibility as a study, dressing room or guest space.
Practical comforts include double glazing, a boarded loft for extra storage, fitted wardrobes in the bedroom and underfloor heating in the bathroom for added comfort. Integrated kitchen appliances and contemporary finishes mean the apartment is largely move-in ready. Parking is available with a garage, and local services such as buses and nearby schools are within easy reach.
Important financial and technical details are straightforward: the property is chain free, leasehold with approximately 89 years remaining (a 90-year extension is reportedly obtainable for around £2,000–£3,000), ground rent is nominal at £10 per year and the service charge is about £101.31 per month covering building insurance and communal upkeep. Council tax is very low and crime rates in the area are very low.
Notable drawbacks are clear and should be considered: the remaining lease length is below 90 years, which may affect mortgage options and future value without the extension; heating is electric throughout (aside from the bathroom underfloor system), so running costs may be higher than gas-heated homes; overall room sizes are modest and the EPC is D, indicating average energy performance. These points are balanced by the rare private garden asset, low communal costs and the chain-free sale, which together suit first-time buyers or investors seeking a manageable, well-located property.
