Share of freehold with 959 years remaining, no ground rent
A well-presented two-bedroom maisonette occupying the ground and first floors of a Victorian terrace on Elm Grove. The flat benefits from a share of freehold and an exceptionally long lease (959 years remaining), giving clear ownership security and no ground rent. The layout includes a separate front entrance, a through lounge with a front bay, a separate fitted kitchen and a modern bathroom.
Practical extras include gas central heating, double glazing, useful boarded loft room with two Velux windows, and a small paved rear patio garden with a large wooden bike shed. The property is compact but well laid out for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors looking for a low-maintenance central Brighton home close to local amenities and transport links.
Notable points to consider: the house is a period mid-terrace with solid brick walls (likely no cavity insulation), so energy efficiency may be lower than modern builds. The rear garden and plot are modest in size, and the attic has restricted headroom so use is occasional or for storage unless altered with consent. The immediate area is a cosmopolitan student and professional neighbourhood, which brings convenience and rental demand but may mean higher daytime and evening activity.
Overall this maisonette suits buyers seeking central Brighton location, strong leasehold security and straightforward living. There is clear potential to increase value through targeted modernisation or by exploring loft conversion options (subject to planning and building regulations).
