Compact, chain-free one-bedroom flat near Chichester city centre and station.
Chain-free first-floor one-bedroom flat with garage in compound
A bright first-floor one-bedroom flat in Somerstown, an established and convenient pocket of Chichester just a short walk from North Street and the Festival Theatre. The layout is practical: entrance hall with storage, a generous sitting/dining room, a fitted kitchen, double bedroom with built-in cupboards and a three-piece bathroom. The flat comes with a garage in a nearby compound and access to well-kept communal gardens.
Chain-free and offered with an 84-year remaining lease, this property suits first-time buyers, downsizers or buy-to-let investors looking for a compact city-centre home with strong rental appeal. The position delivers excellent access to shops, theatres and Chichester station for commuter links to London and the south coast.
Buyers should note a few material facts: the property is leasehold with an annual service charge of approximately £2,316 (includes ground rent); heating is by electric storage heaters; the building dates from the 1967–75 period and some internal fittings are dated and likely require cosmetic updating. The local crime statistic is recorded as high, which may affect insurance or tenant demand.
Overall this is a convenient, well-located one-bedroom flat offering immediate occupancy and scope to add value through modest refurbishment. The garage and communal gardens are practical extras that enhance usability and rental attraction, but purchasers should factor in lease length, service charges and the electric heating when assessing long-term running costs.
