Summary - Flat D, 47 West Hill Street BN1 3RS
1 bed 1 bath Studio
Compact, characterful studio with long lease — great first home or rental buy.
Chain free with circa 983 years remaining on lease
This chain-free studio flat sits on West Hill Street in Seven Dials, a short walk from Brighton station and the seafront. The apartment is bright with large period bay windows and high ceilings that make the compact space feel airy. The long lease (circa 983 years) and low council tax make it affordable to run.
Currently configured as an open-plan studio with kitchenette and separate bathroom, the layout offers scope to create a one-bedroom by reworking the space — appealing for a first home or a buy-to-let. The property has been well maintained and has a proven rental return (current up-to-date estimate around £900 pcm), making it straightforward for investors to re-let.
Practical points to note: the building has solid brick walls (likely no wall insulation) and secondary glazing, and there is no private garden. Service charge is about £984 per year; ground rent is listed as TBC. Parking is on-street with a permit wait list. Prospective buyers should commission their own surveys and checks before purchase.
Overall, this is an affordable, well-located starter property with period character and clear rental potential. It suits a first-time buyer wanting a compact city base or an investor seeking a simple, low-maintenance let close to transport and local amenities.
