This third-floor studio on Marine Parade offers direct, uninterrupted views across the English Channel from a wide bay window with built-in seating. The apartment is presented in neutral décor and benefits from a separate modern kitchen with integrated appliances and a smart bathroom with a bath and overhead shower. The property is share of freehold and sits in a period Victorian building that retains high ceilings and character features.
The flat is compact (approximately 345 sq ft) and arranged on a single floor, suited to a single occupant, pied-à-terre or buy-to-let. Heating is by electric storage heaters and the building’s walls are solid brick with assumed limited insulation, so running costs may be higher than modern equivalents. Average service charges are around £1,021 per year and council tax is very low.
Location is a major strength: beach access opposite, Kemp Town Village cafés and boutiques a short walk away, and Brighton city centre and station within easy reach. Public transport links are excellent and the area benefits from fast broadband and strong mobile signal. Flood risk is nil.
Buyers should note material negatives plainly: the neighbourhood records very high crime and the wider area is classed as very deprived. Parking is on-street by residents’ permit and the studio’s small size limits storage and reconfiguration options. The combination of electric heating and solid-wall construction could mean upgrade or insulation work if lower energy bills are a priority.
