This compact studio sits within an imposing Grade I listed Regency terrace on Brunswick Square, a sought-after address between Hove seafront and Western Road. Recently refurbished throughout, the flat is presented in good decorative order with original sash windows, high ceilings and electric underfloor heating — ready for immediate occupation or rental. It is currently let at £1,100 pcm, offering immediate income for a buy-to-let purchaser.
The apartment is small (approximately 317 sq ft) and arranged as open-plan living with a kitchen area and shower room. Its leasehold status, listed-building protections and historic construction mean alterations will be restricted; any buyer should expect planning and listed‑building consents for changes. Service charge and ground rent are modest but ongoing obligations (£1,070.80 pa service charge; £100 pa ground rent).
Practical points for investors: the property is chain-free and recently renovated, which reduces short-term maintenance needs. However the building’s listed status can complicate future works and the flat’s electric heating and solid brick walls (likely uninsulated) may lead to higher running costs. EPC currently rated E (potential for C) — improvement may be limited by listing constraints.
Location is a genuine strength: central Hove position gives excellent access to the seafront, shops, cafes and transport links to Brighton and London. Note the local area records above-average crime and this studio has no private outdoor space. Purchasers should verify lease length, permitted uses and compliance with any tenancy arrangements before proceeding.
