This freehold two-bedroom cottage sits just off Kemp Town seafront, offering a compact, low-maintenance base ideal for holiday lets or a seaside second home. The layout includes a spacious living room, separate kitchen and paved patio garden that’s easy to manage and appeals to short-stay guests.
Practical features include unofficial off-street parking behind gated access, two double bedrooms with built-in storage, and a modern shower room. The property is chain free and ready for immediate occupation or letting, with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal supporting holiday-let bookings or remote working.
Buyers should note the wider area is a cosmopolitan student and commuter neighbourhood with very high local crime rates and significant deprivation indicators. The plot is very small and the off-street parking is unofficial rather than allocated; these factors affect long-term family use and could influence insurance or management considerations for lettings.
Overall, this is a well-located, straightforward cottage offering strong short-term rental potential and easy seaside living. It suits investors or buyers seeking a lock-up-and-leave second home who accept the neighbourhood’s lively, urban character and the practical caveats around parking and local area risk.
