Set within a striking Grade II listed façade just off Brighton seafront, this compact second-floor studio offers bright living space and a separate modern kitchen. With two sash windows the main room feels light despite the modest 351 sq ft footprint. The flat is chain free and comes with a long lease (approx. 116 years) — practical for buyers seeking a quick purchase or investors wanting immediate availability.
The building’s listed status delivers undeniable period character but may restrict alterations and cause delays or extra costs for any structural or external changes. The mid-terrace solid brick walls are likely uninsulated, so buyers should expect limited thermal performance and potential heating costs despite the gas boiler and radiators. Council Tax Band A and a low ground rent (£150) help running costs.
Positioned steps from Brighton’s West Pier, i360 and local restaurants, this property suits someone wanting a coastal pied-à-terre, first home, or rental investment targeting students and young professionals. Note the local area is a cosmopolitan student neighbourhood with higher-than-average crime statistics; on-street permit parking (zone Z) is limited and not guaranteed. Broadband speeds are average but mobile signal is excellent.
Practical purchasers should factor in listed-building constraints, possible insulation work, and the neighbourhood’s busy, lively character. For those who value location, light, and a straightforward purchase with a long lease, this flat offers an affordable entry into central Brighton living.
