A rare top-floor apartment in central Brighton, this spacious four-bedroom penthouse delivers panoramic south-westerly views across the city to the sea. The 27' living room opens onto a south-facing balcony for uninterrupted vistas and generous natural light. With nearly 1,700 sq ft, built-in storage is abundant and the principal bedroom includes an ensuite — practical for both family life or multiple-let rental arrangements.
The block is a purpose-built 1960s/70s tower with Brutalist styling; expect lower-than-average ceiling heights and mid-century communal areas. Heating is electric room heaters and the cavity walls are assumed uninsulated, so energy costs may be higher than modern standards. Council tax is listed as expensive. The property is leasehold with a share of freehold and is being sold chain-free; formal lease details are being compiled and additional fees (lease packs, management charges) could apply.
Location is a clear strength: immediate access to Churchill Square, shops, transport and Brighton’s seafront makes this excellent for central living or short-term/long-let rental demand. The neighbourhood is lively and cosmopolitan with strong student presence; that brings footfall and rental demand but also correlates with a higher local crime profile. Buyers should commission a full survey and check service records for the building before committing.
