Set on Brighton’s West Street and just moments from the seafront, this modern two-bedroom apartment offers bright, low-maintenance living with elevated sea views from a sunny balcony. The large open-plan lounge and kitchen, recently renovated finishes and a separate utility room suit anyone wanting an easy ‘lock-up-and-leave’ city base close to shops, cafes and the beach.
The property is offered as a Leasehold and is available via a Home for Life Lifetime Lease example price of £330,500 for over-60s (market value £500,000). The plan can allow purchase of up to 50% of the property value; the actual price depends on age and circumstances. The flat is chain free and has a long lease of around 100 years.
Practical considerations are clear: allocated underground parking and communal gardens add convenience, but running costs include a service charge of about £3,335 and above-average council tax. Heating is by electric room heaters, which may mean higher energy bills compared with mains gas. The local area scores high for nightlife and services but records very high crime and some area deprivation, factors to weigh for peace of mind and security.
This apartment suits downsizers or retirees seeking a contemporary seaside city base who value location and convenience over rural quiet. It offers straightforward renovation potential for anyone wanting to personalise the interior, but please verify all lease, service charge and tenure details with your solicitor before committing.
