This bright, top-floor retirement apartment sits on the sought-after Maltings development, within easy walking distance of Chichester city centre. A lift serves the top floor and residents enjoy a communal lounge, well-kept gardens and on-site laundry — practical comforts for an independent retirement lifestyle.
The accommodation includes a spacious sitting/dining room with a southerly aspect, a double bedroom with built-in wardrobe and a modern shower room. The building is well maintained and benefits from double glazing and an EPC rating of C, offering reasonable efficiency for an electric-heated property.
Important practical points: the lease has 58 years remaining, a level likely to restrict mortgage lending and affect resale value; buyers should seek specialist mortgage advice or consider cash purchase. The annual service charge of £2,770.92 and ground rent of £200 cover estate management, communal maintenance, buildings insurance and a community alarm service.
Heating is by electric room heaters (no communal fuel) and the flat is compact in size — ideal for downsizers seeking low-maintenance living rather than buyers wanting a larger family home. Overall this is a convenient, community-focused retirement flat with clear benefits for those able to proceed despite the short lease.
