Light-filled two-bedroom first-floor flat in a Victorian mid-terrace, ideal for a first-time buyer seeking period charm close to Preston Park. High ceilings, bay windows and decorative cornices give character and a sense of space within a compact 595 sq ft layout. The location offers excellent transport links to Brighton mainline and London Road stations and a wide choice of local shops, cafés and pubs.
Practical positives include a long lease (c.151 years), gas central heating, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. On-street parking (Zone J) is available nearby. There is also scope to add value — the building suggests potential for a loft conversion subject to planning and building-regulation consent, making this attractive for buyers willing to invest.
Buyers should note material points upfront: the flat is leasehold, relatively small, and appears to sit within solid-brick walls likely without cavity insulation, so energy-efficiency upgrades may be required. Internal condition and finishes are not confirmed and may need updating. The neighbourhood is described as a cosmopolitan, student-heavy area with pockets of deprivation, which may mean higher local activity and variable rental demand if purchased as a buy-to-let.
Overall this is a sensible purchase for a first-time buyer who values central Brighton living, period features and future improvement potential, or for an investor prepared to refurbish. Verify lease details, any planned works, and planning permission possibilities with your solicitor before committing.
