Summary - Regency Square, Brighton, East Sussex BN1 2FG
2 bed 1 bath Maisonette
Seafront two-bedroom apartment with lifetime lease option for over-60s.
Listed Regency building with historic façade
A rare two-bedroom maisonette set within a listed Regency façade, moments from the seafront and Brighton’s shops and restaurants. The apartment spans two floors and offers period character, high ceilings and versatile living arranged over compact rooms — ideal for someone seeking a central coastal base.
This is offered as a leasehold retirement-suitable property with a Home for Life (Lifetime Lease) example price of £231,500 for buyers aged 60+ (market value £350,000). The scheme allows purchase of up to a 50% share to safeguard future value; exact price depends on age and circumstances. The flat is sold chain free.
Practical drawbacks are significant and should be considered: the building’s listed status will restrict alterations and could complicate repairs; the flat is small (approximately 416 sq ft) and built with solid brick walls likely without insulation. Heating is by electric storage heaters, and the property will benefit from modernisation. Service charge averages £1,458 per year and the surrounding area records high crime levels — both important for future running costs and personal security.
Suitable for downsizers or buyers seeking a coastal pied‑à‑terre who accept a modest footprint and a need for updating. Buyers requiring major structural changes or extensive refurbishment should expect planning constraints due to the listed status; all tenure, lease and service details should be confirmed by your solicitor.
