Summary - 14 Rock Grove BN2 1ND
4 bed 2 bath Semi-Detached
Central Brighton townhouse minutes from seafront and excellent schools.
4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms over three floors
South-facing sun terrace with good natural light
Short walk to beach, Kemp Town Village amenities
Freehold with integral garage and parking
Requires renovation to maximise value and comfort
Council tax above average; budget for running costs
Area records higher crime and local deprivation
Modest internal area (~1,004 sq ft) despite listed large plot
This period-style semi-detached townhouse offers practical family accommodation across three floors, with two double and two single bedrooms and two bathrooms. Its south-facing terrace and tall, double-glazed sash windows bring good natural light to the principal rooms, while white-rendered Regency façades give the property handsome kerb appeal. Set a short walk from the beach and Kemp Town Village, the location is a major draw for families and professionals.
Internally the house is smart and neutral but needs renovation in places, presenting clear potential to add value through modernisation or reconfiguration. The kitchen is functional with contemporary fittings, and the property benefits from mains gas central heating, double glazing, an integral garage and parking. The home is freehold and sits within a strong school catchment, making it well suited to buyers prioritising education and coastal living.
Buyers should factor in material drawbacks: the property requires renovation to reach its full potential, council tax is above average, and the immediate area records higher crime and local deprivation statistics. The overall internal floor area is modest (about 1,004 sq ft), so outdoor living is mainly the south-facing terrace and limited paved areas rather than a large garden, despite the listing noting a large plot size.
For families seeking a central Brighton base with scope to personalise, this townhouse combines proximity to beaches, schools and transport with renovation upside. Investors may also find rental demand strong here, but should allow budget for upgrades and consider the local area profiles when assessing yield and pricing.
