This first-floor two-bedroom flat sits in the heart of Somerstown, a short walk from Chichester’s north-side amenities and the Festival Theatre. The layout delivers two good-sized double bedrooms, a bright sitting/dining room with bay window, a fitted kitchen and a separate bathroom plus cloakroom. At about 760 sq ft, the accommodation is a comfortable size for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors seeking strong central location appeal.
Practical benefits include a private lock-up garage in a nearby block, ample resident parking, communal gardens and a secure intercom entry. Gas central heating and pre-2002 double glazing are already in place, offering everyday comfort and reasonable energy efficiency for the building’s era (constructed 1976–82).
Important points to note: the property is leasehold and set within a city neighbourhood with higher-than-average recorded crime, which may influence insurance and tenant demand. The block’s mid-century construction and older double glazing may be considerations if you plan substantial upgrading or long-term energy-efficiency improvements.
Well-suited as a low-maintenance first home or a central investment with decent rental prospects, the flat rewards internal inspection to appreciate room sizes, light and the quiet position within the development away from traffic noise. Council tax is described as affordable, adding to the manageable running costs for an owner-occupier or landlord.
