Summary - Flat 9, 4, Norfolk Terrace BN1 3AD
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Compact, characterful retirement flat close to seafront and station.
One-bedroom fifth-floor flat in central Brighton location
This fifth-floor one-bedroom apartment sits in the heart of Brighton, a short walk from the seafront, shops, cafés and the train station — ideal for someone wanting a compact, low-maintenance city base. The building’s Victorian character brings high ceilings and sash windows in parts, while the flat itself offers a bright open lounge/kitchen and a generous bedroom for its size.
Designed for purchasers aged 60+ using a Home for Life Lifetime Lease, the advertised Lifetime Lease guide price is £139,000 (illustrative average saving c.33% versus full market price £210,000). The plan allows buyers to purchase up to 50% of the property value to protect future equity; the actual price depends on age and personal circumstances.
Practical factors to note: the apartment is small (approx. 377 sq ft) and the kitchen/living area has a lower, slanted ceiling. Heating is by electric storage heaters and walls are solid brick with no known cavity insulation, so running costs and warmth may be higher than modern builds. Service charge (£1,203 pa) and ground rent (£40 pa) apply; the lease has a very long term remaining (949 years).
This property suits someone seeking central Brighton convenience and period character while trading space for location and affordability through a Lifetime Lease. It’s chain-free and ready for immediate occupation, but buyers should check heating efficiency and any renovation potential before committing.
