1 bed flat to rent

38 South Street, Chichester PO19

A collection of five newly converted apartments set within an attractive Grade II listed period building in the heart of Chichester city centre. Available in a range of configurations, the apartments offer an opportunity to acquire a well-specified home in one of the city's most central locations, with each unit finished to a consistent and high standard throughout.

The building is accessed via a smart communal entrance that sets the tone for the quality found throughout. The staircase connecting the floors is a handsome feature in itself - a sweeping timber and white-painted balustrade with oak-effect lvt flooring to the communal areas.

Each apartment centres around a generous open-plan living and kitchen space. The kitchens are fitted with full-height dark navy Symphony cabinetry, LED strip lighting beneath the eye-level units illuminating quartz worktops, and in some a large central island providing further quartz worktop space. Each island houses an induction hob and an integrated wine cooler.

All kitchens include a full-height integrated fridge freezer, an 8kg washing machine and a Caple sink, with ample storage throughout. Flats C and E feature ElectriQ hobs in their islands.

Bedrooms are well-proportioned doubles, some with built-in wardrobe storage. Several of the apartments retain original cast iron fireplaces - Flat E in particular has fireplaces in both the kitchen and bedroom, adding considerable character to the space. Each apartment is served by a shower room finished to the same high specification seen throughout, with Kelda water and energy-saving showers.

The apartments have been designed with running costs in mind. There is no gas supply to the building - all heating and hot water is provided electrically, with timed immersion heaters for hot water, specifically considered to keep utility bills to a minimum. Oak-effect lvt flooring runs throughout each apartment and all are freshly decorated and ready to move into.

Several apartments have their own individual features worth highlighting. Flat B benefits from a raised private terrace - a south-facing sun trap that provides an excellent outdoor space unusual for a city centre apartment. Flats D and F enjoy views towards Chichester Cathedral from both the bedroom and living room - a genuinely special outlook in the heart of the city. Flat C has floor-to-ceiling windows fitted with shutters, while Flat E has roller blinds to all three windows, and Flats B, D and F have integral top-and-bottom blinds on the large tilt-and-turn windows overlooking the rear garden - meaning that across the collection, blinds are already in place throughout.

All apartments are served by a recently installed Openreach full fibre optic connection, currently capable of broadband speeds of up to 1GB - making these apartments well-suited to home working as well as everyday use.

External bike storage is available at the rear of the building.

The building occupies a genuinely central position in Chichester providing easy walking access to many parks and green spaces, amenities and shopping. Chichester railway station is approximately 0.2 miles away - around a 5-minute walk - with regular services to Portsmouth, Brighton, Gatwick Airport and London Victoria. The bus station is just 4 minutes on foot, with frequent services across the wider area.

The beaches at West Wittering and the Manhood Peninsula are within easy reach by car, as are the South Downs National Park to the north and Chichester Harbour to the south-west.
