Outside
This property has the benefit of access out to the gardens which are communal but rarely visited by other residents in this area. The vendor has a patio area directly outside of the living room which is solely used by them, there is another patio area adjacent to this which catches the later sun and offers stunning views over the South Downs, as far reaching as the sea on a clear day. The gardens are fully maintained as part of the residence.

Parking
There is communal and visitor parking at the front and rear of the property which is not allocated. This property is more conveniently access from the rear parking area, where you can gain level access into the building and the apartment is the first door to greet you. The rear parking area is infrequently used so this apartments location within the building is considered to be in a favourable position.
