Quiet, compact two-bedroom retirement apartment a short walk from Littlehampton seafront and local shops. The building offers lift access, communal gardens, residents' parking and an on-site manager, plus organised social activities — practical comforts for downsizers seeking community and easy access to amenities.
The flat is modest in size (approximately 549 sq ft) with a lounge/diner, fitted kitchen, two bedrooms and a bathroom. It benefits from double glazing, electric storage heating and a low service charge, but the layout and finishes will suit buyers looking for a manageable, traditional apartment rather than a modern upgrade.
Important practical drawbacks: the lease has around 59 years remaining — this may restrict mortgage options and affect resale value. Broadband speeds are slow, the area records above-average crime and there is a medium flood risk. Heating is by electric storage heaters, and some cosmetic updating may be needed.
This property is best for over-60s seeking a low-maintenance, social retirement setting close to the seafront, or a cash buyer/investor aware of short lease implications. Prospective purchasers should obtain mortgage advice regarding lease length and commission a full inspection before committing.
