This raised ground-floor flat in Kemptown offers classic Regency proportions and direct views across New Steine to the sea. High ceilings, a large bay-windowed reception and an ornamental fireplace retain period character while the fitted kitchen and EPC C rating point to reasonable energy performance.
The layout suits a single buyer or couple seeking coastal living within easy reach of Brighton’s restaurants, shops and transport. The flat is in the East Cliff Conservation Area, so external changes are restricted, and the location puts the beach, pier and local amenities moments away.
Buyers should note the practical lease and running-cost details: 87 years remaining on the lease, an annual service charge of £2,079 and ground rent of £300. The building’s solid brick walls likely lack cavity insulation, so further energy or comfort improvements may be possible but would require consent and investment.
This property is best for someone wanting characterful seaside living with scope to personalise internally. It is not a no-work, long-lease purchase: consider lease length and communal costs if planning mortgage or resale within a few years.
