Summary - ELM COURT FLAT 26 DYKE ROAD BRIGHTON BN1 5AX
1 bed 1 bath Retirement Property
Compact, low-maintenance home close to Seven Dials and the train station.
Upper-ground retirement flat, own street entrance and mobility lift access
A comfortably proportioned one-bedroom retirement apartment in Elm Court, positioned within an easy walk of Seven Dials and Brighton mainline station. The flat sits on the upper ground floor with its own street entrance, offering private allocated parking, communal gardens and a guest lounge — useful extras for visiting family and occasional stays.
Internally the layout is traditional and practical: a double bedroom, separate kitchen and bathroom arranged over approximately 456 sq ft. The block includes an electric mobility lift and communal facilities, which support independent living and socialising without having to travel far.
Buyers should note a material drawback: there are only 57 years remaining on the lease. That length may cause some mortgage lenders to refuse lending and will make lease extension costs and additional leasehold fees a key consideration. There may also be extra costs for a leasehold pack and other administrative charges.
This apartment suits a buyer seeking a low‑maintenance, centrally located retirement home or a downsizer wanting proximity to shops, transport and local amenities. It will reward those prepared to investigate lease-extension options and factor in any refurbishment to update fixtures and finishes.
