Flint House, South Street, Chichester

Flint House is a Grade II* listed period building in central Chichester, with a distinctive galleted flint frontage, sash windows and a prominent first-floor bow window. The building was formerly used as bank premises and includes a later rear extension, a basement and accommodation arranged over several floors. The listing gives nine bedrooms and a floor area of approximately 1,873 sq ft, while the proposed apartment layouts describe four units with a combined range of accommodation and areas; buyers should verify the measured areas and configuration. Planning consent is stated for conversion to four residential apartments, comprising a three-bedroom ground-floor flat with basement space and courtyard, two first-floor flats and a two-bedroom second-floor flat. The basement is shown in the plans as potential ancillary space. Use as a single dwelling would require a separate planning application. The listing also states that the premises benefit from Class E use, subject to buyers making their own enquiries. The property has mains electricity, water, gas central heating and drainage. Rear parking is accessed through the council car park under an annual licence, currently stated to cost approximately £5,000; the licence is non-transferable and a purchaser would need to arrange a new one. The building’s listed status, consented scheme, condition and the terms of any future parking licence should be checked as part of due diligence.
