A modern one-bedroom apartment in a purpose-built block, set a short walk from Chichester city centre, canal basin and the mainline station. The open-plan living/kitchen opens onto a balcony with views towards Chichester Canal, and the flat includes secure underground allocated parking — rare for central locations. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal support home working and streaming. Shared ownership tenure and a long lease (985 years) make this an accessible route onto the property ladder for many buyers.
Practical running costs are clear: an annual service charge of about £2,308 and a ground rent of £150. The property is leasehold and sold as shared ownership, which will suit first-time buyers or downsizers but may not suit those seeking outright freehold ownership. The building dates from 2007–2011 and benefits from double glazing, gas central heating and lift access to the second-floor level.
Location is a strong selling point — a short walk to the train station with services to London and easy access to the South Downs and nearby beaches. Note the immediate neighbourhood records very high crime levels, which buyers should investigate further and factor into insurance and personal security considerations. Overall the flat is a compact, efficient home ideal as a first home, lock-up-and-leave base, or buy-to-let (subject to shared-ownership rules).
