Summary - QUEENSMEAD FLAT 5 FRANKLIN ROAD WORTHING BN13 2PG
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Compact, well-located flat ideal for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors.
Chain-free one-bedroom first-floor apartment
A compact, chain-free one-bedroom first-floor flat with a garage and off-road parking, set in a mid-century block with generous communal gardens. The lounge and bedroom overlook the front garden; the kitchen benefits from a south-facing window that brings good natural light. At about 526 sq ft, the layout suits a single occupant, first-time buyer or landlord seeking an easy-to-manage rental.
Practical benefits include a private garage, resident parking, nearby schools and high-street amenities, plus excellent mobile signal and fast broadband — useful for commuters or renters. The building’s age and mid-century character give scope for modest cosmetic updating without major alteration to the plan.
Notable financial and maintenance facts are the leasehold tenure (approximately 87 years remaining), an annual service charge around £2,436 and ground rent £150. Heating is by electric storage heaters and the EPC is band E, so energy costs may be higher than modern systems; glazing is double but dated. Also, local crime rates are above average — important for buyers to consider.
Overall, this property offers straightforward entry into the Worthing market with immediate rental or occupation potential. Buyers who prioritise low maintenance, parking and proximity to schools will find this a sensible, well-located choice; those seeking long lease length, low running costs or fully modern energy systems will need to allow for investment and improvement.
