Bright, top-floor one-bedroom apartment in a purpose-built retirement block close to Hove seafront. The open-plan kitchen/lounge and Juliette balcony bring generous natural light and offer oblique sea views, making the flat feel airy despite its compact footprint. Vacant with no onward chain, it is ready for immediate occupation.
Practical features include a modern wet room, communal off-street parking and double glazing. Running costs are influenced by electric storage heating and a modest ground rent of £100. The building appears well maintained externally with tidy communal areas and small front landscaping.
Important buyer notes: the lease has around 62 years remaining — below typical lender preferred thresholds — so some mortgage providers may refuse finance. Prospective purchasers should check service/management charges, access arrangements (lift or stairs-only) and obtain survey advice. This property will suit a downsizer seeking low-maintenance coastal living or a cash investor aware of lease-length implications.
