Summary - Flat 6, 146 Kings Road BN1 2PJ
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Compact lower-ground one-bedroom with private patio, long lease and seafront proximity.
Chain free, share of freehold with c.900 years remaining lease
Compact, well-presented and chain-free, this one-bedroom lower-ground flat sits close to Brighton seafront and Bedford Square. The open-plan living area and private rear patio make efficient use of 398 sq ft, with double glazing and gas central heating already in place. A very long lease (circa 900 years) and share of freehold give ownership stability that many flats lack.
The building is listed and dates from before 1900, which gives period character and attractive street presence but will restrict alterations and may complicate works. The property is set in a busy, cosmopolitan student neighbourhood with higher local crime and some area deprivation; this central location trades quieter suburbia for convenience, nightlife and rental demand.
Practical running costs are competitive: a below-average service charge (£840pa plus £180 reserve) and very low council tax band A. Broadband and mobile signals are strong, and the flat’s proximity to the train station, shops and the seafront makes it straightforward for commuting, leisure or letting. Parking bay availability is possible by separate negotiation.
Best suited to a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor who values central location, long lease security and low overheads, but who accepts the limits of a compact, lower-ground space in a listed, urban setting. Buyers should be aware of the listed status before planning alterations and are advised to commission a full inspection and any specialist listed-property advice.
