A bright, south-facing one-bedroom retirement flat on the first floor, positioned in the heart of Chichester just steps from the shopping precinct and cathedral. The semi-circular sitting/dining room floods with natural light from multiple windows; a separate kitchen looks out over well-kept communal gardens. The building offers practical retirement amenities including a residents’ lounge, communal laundry, lift to all floors and 24-hour emergency Careline with a resident manager on site.
This apartment suits someone downsizing who values central convenience and on-site support. The long lease (approx. 117 years remaining) and EPC C rating are positive ownership features. Parking is available in a covered car barn on a first-come, first-served basis, and the flat is connected to fast broadband with excellent mobile signal.
Buyers should note important running costs and heating specifics: the annual service charge is relatively high (£5,699) and main heating is by electric storage heaters, which can increase energy costs compared with gas-heated properties. Ground rent is currently low but rises on scheduled dates; full details should be checked. The area records very high crime levels, which may concern some buyers despite the central, well-served location.
Overall, Rose Court offers a secure, sociable retirement setting with useful communal facilities and a long lease, balanced against higher service charges, electric heating, and local crime statistics. Viewing is recommended for those seeking a centrally located, supported retirement apartment with scope to modernise the interior.
