This ground-floor one-bedroom retirement apartment at Harington Lodge offers comfortable, low-maintenance living in central Chichester. The apartment is presented in good order with a fitted kitchen, built-in appliances and a generous living room that accommodates dining furniture. Communal amenities include well-tended gardens, a residents’ lounge, a lift to all floors and off-street private parking.
Harington Lodge is designed for safe, independent living: an on-site Lodge Manager is available five days a week, a 24-hour Careline is monitored for emergencies, and the development has secure entry and comprehensive fire detection. Owners may also book a Guest Suite for visitors and can use Guest Suites at other Churchill Living locations.
Practical costs and constraints are clear: the property is leasehold with a long lease (around 994 years remaining), an annual service charge of £3,302.04 and a ground rent of £575 per year (review due October 2025). The service charge covers ground source heating, communal utilities, cleaning, maintenance and the Lodge Manager, which reduces day-to-day maintenance tasks but adds a fixed annual cost.
This apartment suits someone seeking a central Chichester base close to shops, cafes, transport links and cultural attractions, with security and communal support. Note the local crime level is reported above average — important to consider alongside the strong on-site security and emergency systems when weighing comfort and safety.
