Set within the grand terraces of Sussex Square, this two-bedroom maisonette has been recently renovated to a high specification while retaining strong period character. Spread over two storeys, it reads like a small house: high ceilings, sash windows, an original fireplace and an oval roof light create a bright, characterful interior. The kitchen and shower room are stylish and fitted with quality fixtures; an energy-efficient boiler and upgraded sound-insulated floors improve comfort.
Residents have access to the rare private lawns of the Kemptown Estate (about 7.5 acres) and a tunnel to the beach, putting seafront living and local cafés within easy reach. The apartment sits moments from Brighton seafront, the Marina and local amenities, with the County Hospital an eight-minute walk away. The maisonette’s long lease (circa 158 years) and very low council tax band A are practical benefits.
Buyers should note material considerations: the building is Grade I listed, which preserves historic features but will restrict alterations and can complicate repairs or future updates. The property’s EPC is rated E and the building’s traditional solid-brick construction means insulation and energy performance are limited despite the modern boiler. There is one shower room only and an average-sized internal area of about 779 sq ft.
Service charges apply (approximately £2,600pa) for communal maintenance and the listed building upkeep; these are an important ongoing cost. Overall, this maisonette suits a buyer seeking a highly finished, character-rich home near the sea who accepts listed-building constraints and modest energy performance in return for a unique central Brighton address.
