Elevated on the second floor of a Victorian mid-terrace, this one-bedroom flat places Kemp Town’s cafés, boutiques and the seafront within easy walking distance. The property’s wide bay sash windows and high ceilings give genuine period character and good natural light, creating an attractive blank canvas for a modern refit.
Internally the layout is straightforward: an open living room, separate kitchen, double bedroom and bathroom. The accommodation requires renovation in places, which presents clear scope to add value but will need time and budget to complete. Service charge and ground rent apply; lease length is limited and may restrict mortgage options.
Practical strengths include fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and permit on-street parking with no wait list. The flat suits a first-time buyer comfortable with a renovation project or a landlord seeking a city-centre buy-to-let in a popular Brighton location. Be aware the area records very high local crime and significant deprivation, and some lenders may decline mortgages because of the 78-year lease remaining.
