A substantial four-bedroom maisonette arranged over three stories, this Edwardian property combines generous room proportions, high ceilings and original cast-iron fireplaces with a private rear garden and its own street entrance. Large, well-decorated rooms and fast broadband make it immediately liveable, while the layout and nearby transport links create clear rental potential. Portslade station is close by and Hove Lawns is within easy walking distance.
The property presents both opportunity and work. The building dates from c.1900–1929 with solid brick walls (likely uninsulated) and some external maintenance noted (roof tiles, bay window brickwork). Photographs and the description indicate areas that will benefit from refurbishment; the maisonette currently has one bathroom serving four bedrooms, and the EPC is a D. These are realistic items to budget for if you need modern thermal performance or additional bathrooms.
Ownership details are unclear in the provided information: the listing states “sold with the freehold” but tenure is recorded as leasehold. This should be clarified early in any purchase process. Other practical positives include mains gas heating with boiler and radiators, double glazing installed since 2002, low council tax banding and no flood risk.
For investors the combination of large rooms, character features and proximity to transport makes the flat attractive for long-term lets or as part of a small portfolio (there is potential to purchase a studio flat below). For owner-occupiers who value space and period detail, the maisonette offers a roomy, characterful home that will reward selective updating.
