Set in the heart of Kemp Town Village, this two-bedroom split-level apartment offers broad, elevated views and an excellent rental location a short stroll from the seafront. The bay-front living room and high ceilings give a sense of space uncommon on the upper levels of Victorian conversions, while the 702 sq ft layout provides two double bedrooms and a practical kitchen with integrated appliances and space for laundry.
The property is chain-free with 106 years remaining on the lease, making it straightforward for buyers and investors. Double glazing was installed after 2002 and the home benefits from mains gas boiler heating and reliable mobile and broadband connectivity — useful for both tenants and short-commute professionals.
Important facts: the building is a traditional, solid-brick Victorian terrace with no internal wall insulation (assumed) and the area records higher-than-average crime and local deprivation indicators. There is no private garden and the flat is arranged over internal stairs, which may limit accessibility for some buyers. Energy upgrades (wall insulation, heating efficiency) could be considered to improve running costs and appeal.
This property suits buy-to-let investors or buyers seeking a well-located pied-à-terre close to Brighton’s amenities and transport links. It has proven lettability and immediate rental potential, but buyers should budget for any modernization or insulation works and be comfortable with the urban, central location and its local social conditions.
