Summary - 121, Milner Road BN2 4BR
3 bed 1 bath Maisonette
Compact investment near Brighton University with private south-facing garden.
Chain-free with share of freehold
A compact three-storey maisonette in BN2, offered chain-free with a share of freehold and an existing HMO licence for four sharers. The layout includes a galley kitchen with direct access to a private south-facing rear garden, a modern bathroom, and a substantial basement room suitable as a snug or storage. The property has previously let for around £2,700 PCM and sits moments from Brighton University, with easy bus links to Sussex University.
The building dates from 1900–1929 and retains period character to the exterior, while having double glazing fitted post-2002 and gas-fired central heating via boiler and radiators. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent — practical benefits for student tenants or short-term lets. The area is classified as cosmopolitan student neighbourhoods with very low crime and generally affluent local indicators.
Buyers should note the maisonette is modest in overall size (circa 800 sq ft listed) and the plot/garden is small. Walls are assumed to be uninsulated cavity construction, so energy-efficiency upgrades could be beneficial. The basement may require permissions for any conversion to habitable use. There is some inconsistency in source details around bedroom count (three-bedroom summary versus four-bedroom HMO layout); buyers should confirm the current internal configuration and licence conditions before offer.
This property suits investors or landlords seeking an established student-let layout and immediate income potential, or a buyer wanting a compact urban home close to higher-education campuses with scope to add value through targeted modernisation.
