Summary - 108 BASEMENT UPPER LEWES ROAD BRIGHTON BN2 3FE
1 bed 1 bath Maisonette
Characterful Victorian one-bedroom with private garden and low running costs, close to transport and shops.
Lower-ground one-double-bedroom maisonette, approx 456 sq ft
A one-double-bedroom lower-ground maisonette blending Victorian character with bespoke contemporary fittings. The living room's exposed brick fireplace and solid oak shelving give genuine character, while the custom iroko worktops and concealed lighting create a polished, usable home. The private entrance and small southerly garden offer outside space rare for lower-ground flats.
Practical running costs are favourable: a share of freehold split between two units, a low annual building insurance charge (£250) and a modest service charge. The apartment measures about 456 sq ft, has sealed-unit double glazing, gas central heating and an EPC rating of D.
Notable drawbacks are factual: the flat is lower-ground (reduced natural light compared with upper floors), the rear garden is small and overgrown and will need maintenance, and the building has solid brick walls likely without modern cavity insulation. Local crime levels are recorded as very high — buyers should consider personal security and insurance implications. The area is popular with students and professionals, so expect nearby activity and strong rental demand if letting is intended.
Overall this is a compact, characterful property suited to a first-time buyer or an investor wanting a well-specified, easy-care central Brighton pied-à-terre, provided you accept the lower-ground position and commit to some garden/maintenance work.
