Summary - Mitre House Western Road, Brighton, East Sussex, BN1 BN1 2AJ
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Characterful central apartment close to the beach, ideal for first-time buyers or investors.
Approx. 500 sq ft one-bedroom open-plan apartment
A bright, well-located one-bedroom apartment set in an Art Deco-style building just steps from Brighton’s seafront. The flat occupies a quieter rear position on the fourth floor and offers an open-plan living area, a large double bedroom with fitted wardrobes, and a modern bathroom with a window. At about 500 sq ft, the layout suits a first-time buyer, professional or investor seeking central city living with coastal access.
Practical details work in its favour: a long lease of 139 years, chain-free sale and double glazing installed post-2002. The building is mixed-use with attractive communal areas and the flat benefits from excellent mobile signal and cheap council tax. Local amenities are comprehensive — shops, cafés, and public transport are all within easy walking distance.
Be clear about the likely running costs and improvements: the property relies on electric room heaters (no central gas) and the original solid brick walls are assumed to have no insulation, so heating bills and retrofit insulation should be factored in. The neighbourhood is a cosmopolitan, student-dominated part of the city with very high recorded crime and areas of deprivation; this affects evening quietness and resale/investment considerations.
Overall this is a convenient, characterful city-centre apartment with seaside appeal and scope for modest energy-efficiency improvements. It will suit someone prioritising location and style over a turnkey, low-running-cost home.
