Set on tree-lined Grantham Road, this one-bedroom lower-ground/ground flat offers an affordable Brighton entry point with a newly granted 125-year lease from January 2025. The apartment is compact (c. 443 sq ft) and presented in good condition, with a separate kitchen, living room and one bathroom — straightforward living for a first-time buyer or a buy-to-let investor.
Location is a key asset: close to Preston and Blakers Parks, local cafés and shops around Fiveways and Preston Circus, and within walking distance of Brighton mainline and London Road stations for fast commuter links to London and Gatwick. Nearby well-regarded primary and secondary schools add to the appeal for householders starting out.
The building retains Victorian character externally — bay windows, high ceilings and large rooms — but the property is a compact conversion with limited private outdoor space and no off-street parking (Parking Zone J on-street only). Walls are original solid brick (no insulation assumed), so buyers should consider potential energy-efficiency upgrades. Leasehold tenure means solicitors should verify all lease details, service charges and permissions.
Overall this is a pragmatic, low-maintenance urban flat suited to a first-time purchaser or landlord seeking reliable rental demand. It combines classic period character, good local amenities and long lease security, balanced by its small footprint and typical conversion limitations.
