Summary - 33 WESTERN STREET BRIGHTON BN1 2PG
2 bed 1 bath Maisonette
Spacious two‑bed maisonette near beach — long lease and clear renovation potential.
Two double bedrooms in spacious, bay‑windowed maisonette
Long lease — 979 years remaining
Requires renovation to kitchen and bathroom
Solid brick Victorian build; likely no insulation
On‑street parking only; no allocated space
High local crime and area deprivation noted
Council Tax Band C — affordable running costs
Excellent transport links; beach and shops nearby
Set within a Regency/Victorian terrace between Brighton and Hove stations, this two‑bed maisonette offers generous rooms, a wide bay window and a private street entrance. The layout across ground and lower‑ground floors feels more like a house than a flat, with defined living and sleeping areas and scope to create a contemporary home. A long lease (979 years) and affordable council tax band C make ownership straightforward.
The property has been a reliable rental and will appeal to first‑time buyers seeking a well‑located starter home or buyers prepared to add value. The kitchen, bathroom and lower‑ground spaces are perfectly functional but in need of modernisation; with cosmetic and systems upgrades there’s clear potential to increase comfort and capital value.
Important practical points are set out plainly. The building is solid brick and likely lacks cavity insulation, so improving thermal performance will be a priority. Heating is electric (boiler and radiators) and broadband speeds are average. There is no dedicated parking—on‑street parking only—and the immediate area records higher crime and relative deprivation, factors to weigh against the excellent transport links, proximity to the beach, shops and stations.
For a buyer who wants central Brighton seaside living and is willing to do some updating, this maisonette offers character, light and a long lease to build equity over time. It’s a compact but flexible home with realistic renovation potential.
