Set over four well-presented storeys, this corner Victorian house offers 735 sq ft of bright, efficient living in central Brighton. The open-plan living/dining area and modern fitted kitchen with timber worktops create an adaptable, stylish ground-floor layout. Two double bedrooms and a contemporary bathroom with metro tiles occupy the upper floors, delivering immediate move-in comfort.
Location is a primary strength: the house sits a short walk from Brighton Station, providing direct commuter links to London and easy access to the city’s cafes, shops and seafront. The property is freehold and benefits from mains gas central heating and double glazing, making it practical for year-round living or a buy-to-let opportunity aimed at students and professionals.
Buyers should note a few material points. The house is a narrow, vertical townhouse with limited or no obvious external garden space, so outdoor amenity is minimal. The building’s solid-brick construction suggests little or no wall insulation as originally built, and the install date of glazing is unknown — both are factors that could affect running costs and future retrofit work.
The immediate neighbourhood is lively and cosmopolitan but records very high local crime levels; prospective purchasers should consider security and insurance implications. Overall, the property suits first-time buyers, investors or anyone seeking a compact, characterful Brighton base close to transport and amenities, with modest scope for improvement rather than large-scale renovation.
