Set on the first floor of a Victorian terrace, this recently refurbished two-bedroom flat offers compact, light-filled living close to Kemptown Village and the seafront. High ceilings, large bay windows and stripped boards give genuine period character, while the open-plan layout and modern kitchen make day-to-day life straightforward. New double glazing in the bedrooms helps with comfort.
The principal bedroom enjoys a quiet outlook over a retirement complex courtyard, making the apartment feel surprisingly calm for its central location. The well-finished shower room and thoughtful fixtures mean little immediate work is required. At 43.78m2 (c.471 sq ft) the home suits downsizers, professionals or a small household seeking low-maintenance city living with seaside access.
Buyers should note a few practical factors: the property is small, lies in an area with higher crime and relative deprivation, and the building dates from before 1900 with solid, uninsulated brick walls (which may affect heating costs). Parking is on-street by permit zone H.
Share of freehold and a below-average service charge (c.£500) are positives for long-term ownership costs. With fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and very close local amenities — cafés, shops, and health services — this flat represents a sensible, well-located option for someone prioritising convenience, character and seaside proximity.
