Set on a quiet street in the heart of Kemptown, this Victorian terraced house offers classic period proportions, high ceilings and a small private courtyard just moments from the seafront. Chain-free with vacant possession and freehold tenure, it’s a straightforward purchase for buyers who want to move in or refurbish to their taste. The location delivers excellent transport links, independent cafés, shops and several well-regarded schools within walking distance.
Internally the layout is traditional and practical: a bay-fronted living room, separate rear reception, kitchen with direct access to the courtyard, two double bedrooms and a spacious bathroom with separate WC. Rooms feel airy due to the high ceilings and large windows, but many finishes are dated and the property is in need of modernisation throughout—presenting clear scope to add value with sympathetic renovation.
Important practical points: the house sits in the East Cliff Conservation Area, so exterior or structural changes may be subject to additional consents. The plot is very small and outdoor space is limited to the courtyard. Local crime levels are recorded as very high, which prospective buyers should factor into security and insurance costs. Council Tax Band C, no flooding risk and excellent mobile and broadband coverage are positives for everyday living.
This home will suit a buyer looking for a period property with good bones in a prime Brighton location who is prepared to invest in updating. It’s equally well-positioned for an owner-occupier seeking a long-term family home or a hands-on investor aiming to refurbish and benefit from strong local rental demand.
