Summary - FLAT 22, PRINCES HOUSE, NORTH STREET BN1 1EA
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Chain free third-floor apartment with passenger lift
Set within the prestigious Princes House, this third-floor one-bedroom apartment offers a compact, well‑located city-centre base ideal for rental income or a first Brighton pied-à-terre. Positioned to the rear, the home faces Royal Pavilion Gardens and benefits from generous natural light and a large open-plan reception with kitchen area. The property is chain free and comes with a passenger lift and secure entrance hall, simplifying access for tenants or owners.
This is a clear rental proposition: prime central Brighton location, immediate access to seafront amenities, transport links and a high demand student/commuter catchment. The flat’s size (approx. 525 sq ft) and layout suit single professionals or couples, and the 100-year lease provides long-term tenure security for buyers. Ground rent is modest at £150 per year.
Buyers should note several practical considerations. The building dates from before 1900 with assumed solid brick walls and no installed cavity insulation, and the property has double glazing fitted before 2002; this may mean higher heating costs despite the community heating scheme. Broadband speeds are reported very slow, and local crime levels are very high; both are material for occupier comfort and letting prospects. The area is classified as very deprived, which affects certain buyer types and may influence rental pricing and void risk.
Overall, this is a straightforward, no-chain central Brighton apartment with strong location-driven advantages and predictable maintenance and amenity trade-offs. It suits investors seeking easy-let city centre stock or buyers wanting immediate access to Brighton’s cultural and seaside lifestyle, provided they accept the neighbourhood and building limitations noted.
