Summary - Ashburnham Drive, Brighton, East Sussex BN1 9AX
2 bed 1 bath Semi-Detached
Ideal for first-time buyers or investors seeking renovation potential in central Brighton.
Chain-free freehold sale for quicker completion
This two-bedroom semi-detached home on Ashburnham Drive is a clear buy-for-improvement opportunity in central Brighton. Offered freehold and chain-free, it suits first-time buyers or investors who want to add value through modernisation. The property includes private front and rear gardens and a bricked rear extension currently used as a utility area.
Internally the layout provides two reception rooms, a kitchen and a fitted bathroom upstairs with two bedrooms. The living room and other interior areas show dated décor, damp staining and potential mould in places, so comprehensive refurbishment is needed — including cosmetic updating and a professional check for moisture issues. Heating is by mains-gas boiler and radiators; windows are double glazed (install dates unknown).
Location is a practical strength: local shops, cafes and frequent transport links are close by, with Preston Park and The Level within easy reach. A number of well-regarded schools (including Varndean and BHASVIC) make the area attractive to families and rental demand remains strong for improved properties. On-street parking is available, but there is no private garage.
Buyers should note the property’s higher-than-average local crime statistic and that the house is described as needing renovation. Broadband and mobile signal are strong, council tax is in band C, and there is no flood risk. Early viewing is advised for those prepared to undertake works and personalise the home to modern standards.
