Summary - Ground Floor Rear Flat, 16 Marine Square BN2 1DL
1 bed 1 bath Studio
Seafront studio with private entrance — great central location, listed constraints apply..
Ground-floor studio in Grade II listed Regency Square
Set within Grade II listed Regency Square, this ground-floor studio offers immediate Brighton seafront access and a private front entrance on St George’s Road. The compact layout includes a main living/studio room, a small kitchen and a bathroom — straightforward and economical to run with low council tax and a modest service charge of £840 per year. Chain free and with 179 years remaining on the lease, it suits buyers seeking an easy move or a simple rental investment.
Buyers should note the listed status: alterations will be restricted and may complicate modernization. The building’s solid-brick construction likely lacks cavity insulation, heating is by electric storage heaters and broadband speeds are reported slow — all factors to consider for comfort and running costs. The area records very high crime levels, so prospective purchasers should review local safety data and security options.
The flat’s strengths are location and character: high ceilings in a Georgian façade, communal garden access and immediate proximity to cafés, restaurants and the beach. Its compact footprint makes it a lower-cost entry into Brighton property, attractive to first-time buyers or investors wanting a city-centre holiday/letting base, provided they accept the listed constraints and some retrofit work may be needed.
Practical next steps: verify lease and listed-building consents with your solicitor, check any required permissions for upgrades, and inspect heating, electrical fittings and broadband options before committing.
