Set on the first floor of a handsome period terrace, this spacious two-bedroom apartment offers high ceilings, large windows and a southerly living room with a Juliette balcony that floods the rooms with natural light. At about 1,016 sq ft, the layout feels generous for central Brighton and will appeal to buyers who prioritise space and character close to the seafront.
The flat has two double bedrooms, a modern fitted kitchen and a luxury bathroom – move-in ready features that suit either owner-occupiers or buy-to-let investors. The long lease (approximately 165 years remaining) reduces near-term leasehold risk, while good transport links, Waitrose and Brighton station are all within easy walking distance.
Be candid about the downsides: the property is leasehold with an average service charge of about £2,134 per year, and there is no private garden. The building is a pre-1900 solid-brick construction likely with limited wall insulation, so heating costs may be higher than modern builds despite mains gas central heating.
The flat sits in a busy, cosmopolitan student neighbourhood with very high local crime statistics and an urban, energetic street scene. That central location brings convenience and rental demand, but also noise and activity—important for those seeking a quieter residential setting. A professional survey is recommended to confirm services and condition before purchase.
