Summary - 8 Belbourne Court, Bread Street BN1 1TT
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Ground-floor, low-maintenance apartment with communal facilities and on-site support.
Ground-floor one-bedroom retirement flat, approx. 430 sq ft
A practical ground-floor retirement flat in central Brighton, ideal for someone seeking low-maintenance, sociable living close to shops and the seafront. The one double bedroom benefits from built-in wardrobes and large double-glazed windows that brighten the open-plan lounge and kitchen. Communal facilities include a residents’ lounge, gardens, laundry room and a guest suite, plus an on-site House Manager and 24-hour emergency call system for added reassurance.
Buyers should note this is a small property (approx. 430 sq ft) with electric room heaters rather than central heating—running costs may be higher than gas-heated homes. The development dates from the 1980s and appears well maintained, but the tenure is not specified and the flat will be sold at auction, so prospective purchasers must check legal pack details and carry out their own due diligence.
Auction terms apply: the sale uses the Modern Method of Auction, requires a reservation agreement and a non-refundable reservation fee (4.5% of the purchase price, minimum £6,600). Completion is typically required within 56 days of the buyer’s solicitor receiving the draft contract. This property sits in a very high crime and very deprived area classification, which may affect security and insurance considerations despite the onsite support.
Overall this is a convenient, low-upkeep retirement apartment with social facilities and central location appeal. It suits a buyer prioritising location and communal living who is comfortable buying at auction and investigating tenure, service charges and running costs beforehand.
