This ground-floor one-bedroom apartment in College Court is designed for over-65s seeking a low-maintenance base near Kemptown and Brighton seafront. At about 493 ft² the flat offers a double bedroom with fitted wardrobe, a comfortable lounge, and a kitchen overlooking the south-facing communal garden—an attractive, sheltered outdoor space for residents.
The block provides practical communal facilities: residents’ lounge and conservatory, laundry rooms, underground parking, visitor rooms (subject to terms), an on-site manager and an emergency Carelink system. The building’s location is a major asset—only a few minutes’ walk to the seafront, local shops, cafés and public transport links.
Buyers should note significant lease considerations and running costs. The lease has approximately 72 years remaining, which may restrict mortgage options and affect resale value. Heating is by electric storage heaters (no communal gas); energy costs should be considered. The area records higher crime and relative deprivation compared with other Brighton neighbourhoods.
Chain-free sale and included secure underground parking add convenience and immediate move-in potential. This apartment will suit a downsizer or retiree who values proximity to the sea, communal support and manageable living space, and who accepts the lease length and electrical heating limitations.
