Summary - LILAC COURT FLAT 41 LONDON ROAD PATCHAM BRIGHTON BN1 8PZ
1 bed 1 bath Retirement Property
Purpose-built sixth-floor home with lifts, social lounge and residents parking.
Sixth-floor one-bedroom with balcony and views over Withdean Park
Designed for residents aged over 60, this sixth-floor one-bedroom apartment occupies a favoured front-facing position with pleasant views over Withdean Park and a small balcony. The development, built circa 2000, is well maintained and offers passenger lifts, communal lounge, guest suite, laundry room and landscaped gardens — practical communal facilities that support independent living and socialising.
The apartment is efficiently laid out with an open-plan lounge/diner, separate fitted kitchen, double bedroom with fitted wardrobe and a modern walk-in shower room. A large walk-in storage cupboard houses the hot water cylinder and adds useful storage space. On-site parking and secure entry add convenience, while the 24-hour alarm call system provides additional peace of mind.
Important practical notes: heating is by electric storage heaters and electricity is metered individually; broadband speeds in the area are reported as slow. The property is leasehold with about 100 years remaining, a service charge averaging £3,950 per year and ground rent around £482 per year — costs to factor into the monthly budget.
This apartment will suit someone seeking a low-maintenance, community-focused home near green space and good transport links into Brighton. It also offers potential appeal to buy-to-let investors targeting retirement-tenancy demand, provided they accept the service charges and electric heating arrangement.
