This one-bedroom ground-floor apartment sits within a converted Victorian terrace just off Ditchling Road, a short walk from Brighton city centre and good rail links. The flat benefits from high ceilings, a bay-fronted lounge and a private raised rear garden — rare extras for a ground-floor flat in this area. The property comes with a long lease (988 years) and a share in the freehold, reducing ongoing tenure costs and giving buyers control over future management.
The apartment does require updating and some remedial work. There is a noted risk of damp in the living room area and the building’s original granite/whinstone walls are assumed to be uninsulated, so buyers should budget for refurbishment and potential insulation improvements. The kitchen is compact and the bathroom is finished in white tile; both are functional but dated.
Practical positives include cheap council tax (Band B), excellent mobile signal and access to fast and ultrafast broadband options. Parking is restricted to on-street Zone J and the neighbourhood is a cosmopolitan mix of students and professionals, which supports rental demand and local amenity variety. For a buyer prepared to renovate, this apartment offers strong location-led potential and character features that can be retained and enhanced.
This home suits a first-time buyer or investor seeking a compact, characterful flat with outdoor space close to central Brighton. Be clear about the renovation needs and arrange a survey to confirm the scope of any damp or insulation works before committing.
