Summary - 39, GLOUCESTER ROAD, BRIGHTON BN1 4AQ
3 bed 1 bath Terraced
High-spec city house with approved extension potential for added value.
Chain free freehold mid-terrace in North Laine
Located in Brighton’s vibrant North Laine, this three-bedroom mid-terrace combines high-spec contemporary refurbishments with planning permission to extend. Rebuilt in 2015 and recently refreshed, the house offers a bespoke kitchen, underfloor heating, integrated smart systems and a compact south-facing courtyard — attractive features for short-let operators or buyers seeking central convenience.
Planning permission has been granted to add an extra storey, increasing internal area by about 50% to create a large family bathroom and an additional double bedroom. That approved uplift represents clear potential to boost both living space and future value in a conservation area where development opportunities are scarce.
Practical considerations are direct: the overall internal footprint is small (410 sq ft) with a very small external plot, broadband speeds are slow, and the surrounding area records higher crime rates than average. The property has performed as a holiday let with documented income, but purchasers should factor in the local market dynamics and operational requirements for continued short-let use.
Sold freehold and chain free, the home suits an investor seeking a central Brighton income unit with development upside, or a buyer wanting a cleverly arranged, high-spec city house with staged extension potential. The finish is contemporary and ready to occupy, but scope remains to increase space and long-term value via the approved additional storey.
