Tucked close to Brighton Station, this two-bedroom cottage combines period character with contemporary convenience — ideal for first-time buyers seeking a central commuter base. The living/dining room is bright and practical, while the modern kitchen uses clever storage to maximise a compact footprint. The home is presented ready to move into, with a clean modern bathroom and gas central heating for reliable comfort.
Upstairs offers two double bedrooms that suit a couple or sharers; the principal room is generously proportioned for the property’s scale. The private courtyard garden gives a low-maintenance outdoor space for morning coffee or small-scale entertaining — a genuine asset in this central location.
Buyers should note the cottage’s small overall size and very small plot: living space is compact and storage remains limited despite the kitchen’s smart design. The building predates 1900 with solid brick walls assumed to lack insulation, so further thermal upgrades could be beneficial to reduce heating costs. Local crime levels are very high, which may concern some purchasers and could affect insurance or security needs.
Practical strengths include freehold tenure, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, plus no identified flood risk. This property suits a first-time buyer, commuter or small household who values location and character over expansive living space, and who are willing to consider modest retrofit work to improve insulation and long-term running costs.
