This chain-free, first-floor apartment sits overlooking a peaceful pond and landscaped communal gardens, offering a calm retreat close to Worthing amenities. The dual-aspect lounge faces south and east, delivering strong natural light and uninterrupted lake views — a key feature for buyers seeking a restful outlook.
The layout includes two well-proportioned bedrooms, a separate fitted kitchen and bathroom, plus useful built-in storage. A garage within the compound and non-allocated parking add practical convenience, while the communal grounds reinforce a neighbourly, low-maintenance feel.
There are important practical points to note: the property relies on electric storage heating and room heaters, and much of the glazing dates from before 2002. The lease has around 85 years remaining and will require early renewal to protect future value; service charges and ground rent are payable (£1,620 pa and circa £240 pa respectively). These costs and the short-ish lease are material considerations for mortgage suitability and long-term ownership.
For a downsizer or buyer looking for a low-hassle home with strong views and outside space, this apartment offers immediate comfort and scope to modernise. Updating heating, kitchen and cosmetic finishes would both improve day-to-day running costs and increase resale potential in this affluent area with fast broadband and low local crime rates.
