Set within the Bedford Chambers development, this period flat offers a central Chichester address and a secure rental income stream until March 2026 (£2,160 pcm). The building’s Georgian character—high ceilings and sash windows—gives the accommodation period charm that appeals to tenants and future buyers alike.
The apartment totals approximately 953 sq ft with three rooms and two bathrooms, modern kitchen fittings, recessed lighting and a communal bike store. The current layout is traditionally styled and well presented, making it straightforward to let as-is or to refurbish selectively to increase rental yield or sale value.
Important practical points: the property is leasehold with 109 years remaining and a relatively high service charge (£4,035 pa). Heating is via electric storage heaters and the building has solid brick walls with assumed no insulation, which can lead to higher running costs and potential retrofit work. Crime levels in the immediate area are reported as very high, which may affect tenant demand and insurance costs.
Overall this is most suitable for an investor seeking an income-producing, centrally located period apartment in Chichester with short-to-medium term upside from targeted improvements. Owner-occupiers should consider the high service charge, electric heating and local crime when assessing long-term living costs and comfort.
