Summary - Flat 5, 12 New Steine BN2 1PB
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Chain-free one-bedroom flat with sea views, long lease and central Brighton location..
Oblique sea views over New Steine Gardens and towards the sea
Set above New Steine Gardens with oblique sea views, this compact one-bedroom flat offers classic Brighton coastal living within the East Cliff Conservation Area. The reception room benefits from a bay window and natural light, while the layout (reception, kitchen, bedroom, bathroom) suits a single buyer or couple seeking central seafront proximity. Sold chain free with 135 years remaining on the lease, the tenure provides long-term security for buyers.
Practical considerations: heating is via electric storage heaters and the building’s solid brick walls are likely uninsulated, which may mean higher running costs and potential for improvement work. Annual charges include a service charge of £2,002 and a small ground rent of £100. Council tax is very cheap, and there is no flood risk for the property.
The flat sits in a lively, cosmopolitan area popular with students and commuters, putting cafes, bars, the seafront and transport links on the doorstep. That vibrancy brings great convenience and rental demand but also corresponds with a very high local crime rate and an area classification of very deprived — important factors for buyers to weigh.
This property is best suited to first-time buyers who prioritise location and sea views, or landlords seeking a central Brighton rental with strong tenant demand. Expect straightforward cosmetic updates rather than structural overhaul, and factor in running costs related to heating and communal service charges.
