Summary - First Floor Flat, 46 Franklin Road, Portslade, BRIGHTON BN41 1AF
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Well-priced one-bedroom near mainline station with vacant possession.
Share of freehold with long lease (approx. 950 years)
A compact one-bedroom first-floor conversion tucked into a Victorian terrace, offered with a long lease (approx. 950 years) and a share of freehold. The south-facing living room with a bay window brings natural light into an efficiently planned 473 sq ft layout, making this a straightforward purchase for a first-time buyer seeking an affordable entry to the area.
The location is a clear asset: close to Boundary Road shops and Portslade mainline station, with good broadband and mobile signal for commuters. The flat is sold with vacant possession and no onward chain, so occupation or letting can be arranged quickly.
Practical points to note: the property footprint is modest, there’s no private rear garden, and the building’s cavity walls are recorded as having no added insulation (age circa 1900–1929). Local crime levels are higher than average for the city, which buyers should consider. Council tax is very low, and the long lease plus share of freehold reduce long-term tenure risk.
There is scope to personalise and improve energy performance and internal finishes to suit modern tastes — a sensible project for buyers aiming to add value. Overall, this is a budget-friendly, well-located starter home or buy-to-let prospect for someone comfortable with a compact Victorian conversion and modest renovation works.
