A bright, period maisonette with rare private roof terrace in Preston Park, arranged over ground and first floors with a large attic room. The home retains Victorian character — a box bay, decorative cornices and an original fireplace — while offering a contemporary kitchen and recently refitted shower room. The layout suits social living, with a sunny living/dining room that flows into the kitchen and direct access to the private roof terrace for alfresco dining.
Practical strengths include share of freehold ownership, chain-free sale and gas central heating. The attic has underfloor heating and the seller reports strengthened joists plus water and waste pipework in place should a buyer seek planning for a dormer and en-suite (subject to consents). Preston Park, nearby schools and frequent transport links to Gatwick and London make the location especially appealing to families and professional buyers.
Buyers should note this is a shared-ownership, mid-terrace property with solid brick walls likely without cavity insulation and double glazing fitted before 2002. There is one bathroom for three bedrooms, on-street permit parking (Zone F) and a small front garden/plot. Any loft dormer or structural changes will require planning permission and building regulation approval despite preparatory works reported.
Overall this is a well-presented, characterful maisonette that offers immediate comfort, entertaining space on a private terrace and sensible scope for further value through permitted loft conversion — appropriate for a family, professional couple or investor seeking a period property in a popular Brighton location.
