This one-bedroom retirement apartment is designed for easy, independent living close to Chichester city centre. The property benefits from its own street-level entrance and a newly fitted stair lift, offering continued flexibility for mobility. Communal gardens, laundry room and off-street parking add practical convenience alongside ample internal storage.
The accommodation includes a dual-aspect sitting/dining room, a good-sized bedroom with large fitted wardrobes, a separate kitchen and a shower room. The kitchen shows mid-century fittings and would benefit from modernisation if you prefer an updated finish. Heating is electric, with room heaters rather than a central system.
Offered chain-free with low service charge and ground rent, the flat is well placed for shops, buses and St Richard’s Hospital. The leasehold tenure and average overall size (approx. 487 sq ft) suit a buyer seeking manageable, central retirement living, or an investor wanting a turn-key let with modest upkeep.
Material points: electric heating and a dated kitchen mean some running costs and potential renovation spending. The area is generally affluent with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, though local crime statistics are above average. Internal viewing is recommended to assess layout and storage in person.
