This one-bedroom first-floor flat sits in a handsome Victorian terrace just five minutes from Kemptown seafront, offering strong location appeal for buyers who want coastal life with city conveniences. High ceilings, a bay-front living room and period detailing create a bright, characterful living space that benefits from recent redecoration and a brand-new 125-year lease.
The layout is well suited to a single occupant, couple or investor: a comfortable living room with dining space in the bay, a double bedroom with built-in storage and a generous bathroom. The apartment is compact at around 570 sq ft, so it’s efficient to run and easy to let or occupy.
Practical considerations are stated up front. Heating is via electric storage heaters and the building has solid brick walls with assumed lack of insulation; adding gas central heating or improved insulation would be the most valuable upgrades. Service charge and ground rent are payable (approx. £1,200 service charge; £250 ground rent) and the area records higher local crime and deprivation statistics, which may affect some buyers’ decisions and rental yield assumptions.
For buyers seeking value-add potential in a prime Kemptown location, this flat offers a short list of targeted improvements that could increase comfort and market value. Its proximity to cafes, shops, Brighton Station and major employers like the Amex and RSC Hospital makes it practical for commuters and professionals, while the beach and local amenities give it strong lifestyle appeal.
