Summary - 38a, Lansdowne Street BN3 1FR
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Compact lower‑ground flat a short walk from beach, station and cafés.
Own private street entrance and rear patio garden
Set on Lansdowne Street in central Hove, this one‑bed lower‑ground flat offers a compact, well‑located retirement option just moments from the seafront. The flat has its own street entrance, a rear patio garden and a modern fitted kitchen, making it comfortable for day‑to‑day living and light entertaining. Hove station, cafés and amenities are all within easy walking distance.
The property is being offered with a Home for Life Lifetime Lease example price of £158,500 (guide figure based on typical savings). The full market price is £240,000; the Lifetime Lease lets eligible purchasers (aged 60+) buy up to a 50% share to reduce upfront cost, with the exact price varying by age and personal circumstances.
Practical points to note: the home is leasehold with around 175 years remaining, an average annual service charge of about £1,600 and a ground rent of £250. The building is Victorian with solid brick walls (assumed uninsulated) and double glazing of unknown age, so further insulation or energy improvements may be worth considering. The local area is cosmopolitan and lively; some buyers prefer this vibrant atmosphere, while others may find nearby activity busy at times.
This flat suits buyers looking to downsize to a central Hove location with coastal access and local amenities on the doorstep. It presents a low‑maintenance retirement base with scope to personalise, but buyers should check lease terms, service charges and suitability of the Lifetime Lease option for their circumstances.
