Summary - Flat 3, Rebecca Court, 7 Cavendish Place BN1 2HS
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Perfect starter flat minutes from cafés, shops and the beach.
Oblique sea views from living/dining room
Set on a quiet no-through lane just one block from Western Road and two minutes from the seafront, this one-bedroom Regency apartment offers an attractive city starter home or buy-to-let in a sought-after Brighton location. The living/dining room benefits from tall windows and an oblique sea view; the bedroom faces east for morning sun. The kitchen and bathroom are described as high-spec and well finished, and the home is chain free with a long lease and share of freehold.
Practical details will suit many first-time buyers: the flat measures around 50.96m2 (circa 548–570 sq ft), has gas central heating, double glazing and fast broadband/mobile signal. Local amenities are excellent — cafés, restaurants, Waitrose and transport links (Brighton station and frequent buses) are all within easy walking distance.
Important drawbacks are stated plainly. The building is Grade II listed — this can restrict alterations and complicate consent for works. The area records very high crime levels, and the property sits within a deprived neighbourhood cohort. The building has solid brick walls likely without insulation, so buyers should expect potential energy-efficiency upgrades and possible internal refurbishment to modernise services. Annual service charge is about £2,064.
Overall, this is a convenient, characterful central-flat with genuine lifestyle appeal for a first buyer or investor who values proximity to the seafront and city amenities. Factor in listed‑building constraints, local crime statistics and likely retrofit work when assessing cost and suitability.
