This compact studio apartment sits on the first floor of a mid-century block in Broadwater, a well-served Worthing neighbourhood. The main room is generous for a studio and includes fitted storage; the separate kitchen and modern bathroom make the layout practical for single occupancy. A new lease will be granted on completion and the property is offered chain-free, simplifying purchase.
Practical positives include off-street parking available on a first-come-first-served basis, low ground rent (£12pa) and a below-average service charge (£600pa). The flat is close to shops, cafes and public transport, and the communal grounds are landscaped with mature trees that screen the building. At 347 sq ft the apartment suits first-time buyers seeking an affordable entry into the area or investors targeting a lettable, low-maintenance unit.
Notable deficiencies are stated plainly: there is no main central heating system (electric heaters are present/assumed) and the building’s cavity walls are uninsulated as built, which could affect energy bills and comfort compared with modern standards. Crime in the immediate area is recorded as above average, which buyers should factor into budgeting for security and insurance. The flat is small and best suited to single occupancy or as a buy-to-let rather than family use.
Overall this is a straightforward, low-cost-to-buy studio with sensible, modern fittings and good local amenities. Buyers who prioritise location, easy access and a manageable maintenance profile will find clear value; those seeking larger living space or upgraded thermal performance should expect to invest further.
