Summary - 47A SHANKLIN ROAD BRIGHTON BN2 3LP
3 bed 1 bath Ground Flat
Three-bedroom ground-floor flat with private patio and share of freehold, chain free.
Share of Freehold with 999-year lease
A bright, well-presented three-bedroom ground floor flat occupying the whole ground floor of an Edwardian mid-terrace. The layout feels generous for its 832 sq ft — a cosy lounge, a large kitchen/dining area with part-glazed roof and French doors to a paved rear patio, and three good-sized bedrooms (one currently used as a home office). The painted wood floors and high ceilings preserve period character while the accommodation is ready to move into.
Practical ownership benefits include a share of freehold, a long lease (999 years) and no onward chain, making this an attractive purchase for first-time buyers or couples looking to upsize. The property is well placed on a quiet no-through road close to Lewes Road amenities, Hanover and central Brighton, with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. Local schools and transport links are within easy reach.
Buyers should note some straightforward improvement opportunities: the kitchen uses plywood-fronted units and the walls are assumed to have no cavity insulation, so buyers wanting higher energy efficiency may wish to upgrade. Double glazing is in place but was installed before 2002. There is a single family bathroom and the area records above-average crime, which may concern some purchasers.
Overall this is a characterful, well-located ground-floor flat with immediate curb appeal and short-term potential to improve energy performance and kitchen finishes. It suits first-time buyers, young professionals or small families seeking a ready-to-live-in home with scope to add value over time.
