Summary - BURLEIGH COURT, 14 - 18 FLAT 12 WESTERN PLACE WORTHING BN11 3LU
1 bed 1 bath Retirement Property
Large one-bedroom retirement flat near Worthing promenade with on-site manager.
Chain-free first-floor retirement flat a few hundred yards from the seafront
This chain-free, first-floor retirement apartment sits a few hundred yards from Worthing’s seafront, in a purpose-built complex with communal gardens and residents’ parking. The large double bedroom, fitted kitchen and living room offer comfortable single-storey living, supported by an on-site house manager, communal lounge, laundry and guest suite — useful for visitors and peace of mind.
Practical highlights include double glazing, built-in wardrobes, security entry phone and an emergency pull-cord system. The flat is heated by electric storage heaters and has a modest running cost profile for council tax (Band B), though main fuel is electricity rather than gas.
Important considerations: the lease has 85 years remaining and will require prompt attention and likely cost to extend. Annual service charge (£2,941.53) and ground rent (£220) are material ongoing costs. Parking is non-allocated. The building is in a town centre location with a very high local crime rate and an area classified as deprived — prospective buyers should weigh local safety and insurance implications.
This property will suit a retiree or downsizer who wants seafront proximity and communal support facilities and who is happy to manage the lease extension process and the electric-heating running costs. Viewing is recommended to assess the layout, communal areas and courtyard outlook in person.
