Set on the top floor of a handsome Regency terrace just off the seafront, this two-bedroom flat offers a compact, characterful home or rental in Brighton’s Kemp Town village. The apartment retains period features such as sash windows and a fireplace, while a modern open-plan kitchen and EPC rating of C give practical comfort and energy performance. With 771 sq ft, the layout works for couples, sharers or an investor seeking central seaside stock.
Buyers should note this is a leasehold sale by auction. There are approximately 144 years remaining, an annual service charge of about £2,500, and specific auction fees and a non-refundable reservation payment (4.5% of the purchase price, minimum £6,600) apply. A Buyer Information Pack is provided and completion is required within a 56-day reservation period.
The flat has single-glazed sash windows and is in a timber-framed building assumed to lack insulation, which may mean some cold spots and future improvement costs. The area is lively and cosmopolitan, close to transport, shops and the beach, but local crime levels are recorded as very high — something to consider for owner-occupiers and lettings strategies. Overall this is a centrally located period property with clear scope for modest updating or rental use.
