Modern fitted kitchen with integrated appliances
Pristine bathroom; neutral, well-maintained decor

Bright and well-proportioned, this ground-floor one-bedroom apartment offers an accessible first step onto the property ladder. The reception room is spacious and light, leading to a double bedroom and a modern, neatly fitted kitchen. The bathroom is clean and well maintained, making the apartment move-in ready for many buyers.
Practical running costs are clear: thermostatically controlled oil-filled radiators provide zoned heating, the council tax band is low, and mains utilities are available. Leasehold terms are strong with about 172 years remaining; annual service charge and ground rent are stated (£1,950pa service charge; £50pa ground rent), so budget accordingly. The building shows mid-century character but some external wear and scaffolding indicate ongoing maintenance to communal areas.
Location is a key strength: close to local shops, cafes, parks and good transport links into Worthing. Broadband and mobile signal are strong, and there is unallocated off-street residents’ parking. For buyers wanting rental income, current figures indicate a market rent of about £1,125pcm and a gross yield in the region of 7.3%.
Notable negatives are factual and important: the property is leasehold with a service charge that may be above some buyers’ expectations, the EPC rating is E, and local crime is reported as above average. The property's heating is electric room heaters (oil-filled radiators) rather than a communal gas system, which may affect running costs. Overall, this apartment suits first-time purchasers or investors looking for a straightforward, well-located one-bedroom with clear long-lease security.
