Set over two floors, this Victorian maisonette offers about 944 sq ft of characterful living space with high ceilings and bay windows. The southerly rear garden and detached garage are rare central-Brighton benefits, and the property includes a share of freehold with 125 years remaining on the lease. Its location between Fiveways and Preston Circus puts trains, buses and local amenities within easy walking distance—ideal for commuters.
The flat has clear scope for improvement, making it a good proposition for a buyer who wants to personalise rather than move into a finished home. The building is solid brick and double-glazed, but insulation details and the age of glazing are unknown; some modernisation of services and decor should be expected. Heating is gas boiler with radiators and the property was constructed before 1900.
This layout suits a small family, professional couple or buy-to-let investor seeking central Brighton returns. The accommodation includes two bedrooms, one bathroom and two reception rooms, giving flexible living or rental layouts. Note the rear garden is small and the plot compact, so outdoor space is modest compared with suburban homes.
Material points to check: no flood risk, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband, average local crime and very affluent wider area. Buyers should verify all lease, service and planning details with solicitors; the property will suit someone prepared to carry out refurbishment to unlock its full potential.
