This bright first-floor retirement apartment offers practical, low-maintenance living in central Broadwater, a short walk to shops, bus routes and the medical centre. The south-facing bay window floods the living room and double bedroom with natural light, and a recently modernised shower room plus fitted kitchen with integrated oven provide move-in-ready convenience.
The development includes communal gardens, a residents' lounge, guest suite and off-street parking. Positioned a few steps from the passenger lift, the flat is easy to access while remaining private. The property is offered chain-free and will be sold at auction — a quicker route to purchase for prepared buyers.
Important drawbacks are stated clearly: the lease has 62 years remaining, which may prevent many mortgage lenders from offering finance. The property is leasehold with a relatively high service charge (c. £363.62 pcm), and the sale via auction involves a non-refundable reservation fee and a 56-day completion timetable. Heating is by electric storage heaters, which can be more costly than central systems.
This apartment suits a downsizer seeking a manageable, well-located retirement base and who can buy in cash or has lender confirmation despite the lease length. It also offers potential for those wanting a comfortable, low-upkeep home close to Worthing amenities, but any buyer should review the lease details and auction terms before bidding.
