Guide price: £325,000–£350,000. This first-floor two-bedroom apartment occupies the corner position of a Victorian end-terrace and benefits from a sunny roof terrace and generous bay-front living room. The layout is practical for everyday living: a wide reception spans the full width, with a separate kitchen and two double bedrooms — both with large bay windows that bring morning light. The property is presented ready to move into and suits sharers, first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors.
Location is a primary selling point. It’s a five-minute walk to Queen’s Park and The Level, and an easy stroll to North Laine’s shops and cafés. Brighton mainline station is accessible by a short bus or bike ride, while nearby schools and hospitals make the area popular with professionals and families. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal excellent.
Notable positives include share of freehold tenure, a long lease (98 years remaining), double glazing installed post-2002, and a below-average service charge (£800). The apartment sits in a solid-brick Victorian building and retains period character in its bay windows and room proportions.
Buyers should note practical drawbacks: there’s no private garden (external space limited to a roof terrace and public pavement), the building’s external elevations would benefit from redecoration and minor repairs, and the solid-brick walls are likely uninsulated. The local crime rate is above average, which may concern some purchasers. Council tax is very low, however, and the property offers clear scope for modest cosmetic updating to increase value.
