Characterful two-bedroom home moments from the seafront ideal for first-time buyers.
No onward chain; long lease on completion
Set across the upper floors of a Victorian terrace in Kemptown, this spacious two-bedroom maisonette offers bright, characterful living close to Brighton seafront and the Marina. High ceilings, original cornicing and a feature fireplace deliver period charm, while double glazing and gas central heating provide everyday comfort. The 904 sqft footprint feels generous for a first home or lock-up-and-leave city base.
A major asset is the unconverted loft, offering clear potential to add another bedroom, home office or studio (subject to planning). The property is offered with no onward chain and a long lease on completion, making it straightforward to buy and move in. Built-in storage and a separate fitted kitchen help practical day-to-day living.
Be clear about the material facts: the home is leasehold and set in an area with higher crime rates and significant deprivation indicators. The maisonette is multi-story, so stairs are unavoidable, and the loft requires conversion work (and any permissions) before benefiting from extra floor space. These are important considerations for budgeting and lifestyle.
For a first-time buyer seeking character, space and seaside proximity, this property presents a rare combination of immediate liveability and scope to add value. Viewing is recommended to appreciate the original features and assess any conversion or improvement plans.
