Set over three floors, this substantial Victorian maisonette offers more than 1,000 sq ft of light-filled, flexible living space just moments from Kemp Town and the seafront. The layout suits families or those wanting guest space, with three double bedrooms, two full bathrooms and an open-plan kitchen/diner framed by a front bay window. Neutral décor and a mix of natural floors and pale carpet make the property largely move-in ready while retaining period character such as tall sash-style bays and sloping top-floor ceilings.
Practical details that add everyday convenience include off-street residents’ parking in Zone H (no waiting list), mains gas central heating with a boiler and radiators, double glazing and a modest service charge of £500. The maisonette’s position close to the marina, seafront and Kemp Town’s cafés and shops gives it strong lifestyle appeal and straightforward access to Brighton station, the A23/A27 and a wide range of local amenities.
Buyers should note a few material considerations: the mid-terrace Victorian walls are solid brick and likely uninsulated, which may affect energy efficiency and could prompt insulation works; broadband speeds are average; and the local area records higher crime levels and relative deprivation. The property sits on a small plot and has characterful sloping ceilings on the top floor, which could limit some layouts. Overall, this is a well-presented period maisonette offering coastal living and convenience with clear potential for improvement in energy performance.
