This bay-fronted Victorian townhouse offers bright, flexible living across three floors, recently refreshed and ready to occupy. The ground and lower-ground arrangement creates a generous open-plan reception and kitchen, while four double bedrooms and two shower rooms suit sharers, families, or buyers seeking rental potential.
Recent works include redecoration, new flooring, refitted Worcester combi boiler and damp-proofing to the lower ground floor. Plans are available for a loft conversion (subject to consent) and the property’s two street entrances make it feasible to reconfigure into separate flats (subject to necessary permissions), increasing future value for investors or owner-occupiers wanting rental income.
Practical drawbacks are straightforward: the overall footprint is small for a four-bedroom home, the solid brick walls are assumed uninsulated which may affect running costs, and the local crime rate is above average. The private, walled courtyard is compact rather than spacious, and any loft conversion or subdivision requires planning and building consents.
Set on an attractive tree-lined street close to Lewes Road shops, regular buses, The Level and the seafront, this freehold townhouse combines central convenience with period charm. It will particularly suit first-time buyers or small households who value central Brighton living and see scope to add value with permitted improvements.
