Situated on the fifth floor of a handsome Victorian terrace, this one-bedroom flat offers a compact, characterful base in the heart of Brighton. At about 377 sq ft the accommodation is efficiently laid out with an open-plan lounge/kitchen, a double bedroom and a bathroom — ideal as a first home or buy-to-let. Chain-free sale and a very long lease (approx. 949 years) simplify purchase.
The location is the standout: immediate access to central shops, cafés and restaurants, a short walk to the seafront and Brighton station for commuters. The building retains period features externally and the flat benefits from double glazing and a bright, modern kitchen area. Broadband and mobile signals are strong, supporting home working or tenant demand.
Practical points to note: heating is by electric storage heaters and the property has solid brick walls with assumed no insulation, so heating costs may be higher than modern alternatives. Service charge and ground rent are modest but ongoing (approx. £1,203 per year service charge; £40 ground rent). The apartment is small and on the fifth floor — there is likely no lift, which may affect accessibility and furniture moves.
This is a straightforward purchase for those prioritising central Brighton living or a rental opportunity in a student/commuter area. The flat needs no major legal lease concerns given its length, but buyers should factor in running costs and potential improvement works if modern heating or insulation is desired.
