Set within one of Brighton’s most recognisable Regency crescents, this two-bedroom first-floor flat offers handsome period proportions and private outdoor space in a central, seaside location. High ceilings, floor-to-ceiling sash windows and decorative wrought-iron balconies bring light and character into the principal reception and bedroom. The layout provides a separate kitchen, two double bedrooms and a well-proportioned bathroom across about 766 sq ft.
Practical strengths include a very long lease (984 years), share of freehold tenure, no onward chain and off-street/permit parking. The property has modern units in the kitchen and an EPC rated C with scope to improve to B. Service charge and management are modest for a central Regency building (approx. £1,827.37 pa).
Location is a key selling point: Regency Square green and the seafront are almost on the doorstep, with Preston Street’s cafés, restaurants and shops a short walk away. Excellent mobile and broadband connectivity and good transport links make this well placed for work or leisure. Local schools and a wide range of amenities are nearby.
Important considerations: the flat sits in a very high crime area and in a cosmopolitan student neighbourhood, which can bring noise and higher footfall. The surrounding wider area is classified as deprived; buyers should factor local management and security into their plans. Overall this is a characterful, well-located flat suited to first-time buyers or young professionals seeking central seaside living with renovation upside.
