Compact open-plan layout — approximately 431 sq ft, one bedroom

This compact one-bedroom flat on Kings Road delivers direct, uninterrupted sea and pier views — a rare asset in Brighton's seafront strip. The open-plan living space and large windows maximise light and the outlook, making the most of 431 sq ft of well-presented accommodation within a Georgian Revival building. A very long lease (997 years) adds ownership security and appeal for buy-to-let or second-home buyers.
The property is currently finished to a tasteful standard and could let quickly thanks to its central seafront position, strong local amenities and excellent transport links. Broadband and mobile signal are both very good, and council tax is very cheap, helping running costs and tenant attraction.
Buyers should note practical considerations: heating is by electric room heaters and the building’s solid brick walls are assumed uninsulated, so energy costs may be higher than modern flats. The local area records very high crime and is classified as deprived, which may affect rental yields, insurance and owner occupier preferences. The flat is leasehold.
Overall this is a compact, characterful seaside investment with clear letting and lifestyle appeal from the views and location, but it demands realistic budgeting for heating, insulation improvements and managing location-related risks.
