Located on Vernon Terrace in the heart of Seven Dials, this first-floor two-bedroom mansion flat combines generous period proportions with practical modern living. The bay-fronted reception room has high ceilings, original sash windows and direct access to a private balcony overlooking a well-kept communal green — a rare outdoor spot so close to central Brighton. The separate kitchen and good storage make day-to-day life comfortable for a couple or small family.
Practical strengths include gas central heating, a very long lease (circa 980 years) and a share of the freehold, plus a chain-free sale for a straightforward purchase. The apartment’s 841 sq ft feels spacious for a two-bedroom in this location, and strong local amenities — cafés, restaurants and easy walking distance to Brighton station — support both commuting and leisure.
Buyers should note a few material points: the building is Victorian with assumed solid brick walls and likely limited insulation, and broadband speeds in the area are reported as very slow. The service charge is around £2,500 per year and there is a single family bathroom. These factors are worth considering if you work from home, plan significant retrofit insulation, or expect low running costs.
This property will suit a first-time buyer or couple who value period character, space and location and are willing to carry out modest improvements (insulation or connectivity upgrades) over time. The long lease and share of freehold reduce long-term ownership risk, while the no-onward-chain position helps with a quicker completion.
