This bright top-floor flat on West Hill Road offers a rare combination of elevated sea views and private outdoor space in central Brighton. The living room opens to a roof terrace with room for a table and chairs — ideal for morning coffee or evening sunsets — while the double bedroom also benefits from sea views. The accommodation is well presented with a modern kitchen and bathroom, exposed brickwork and period features that give genuine character.
Its central but quiet location puts Seven Dials and Brighton station within easy walking distance, making commuting and local amenities extremely convenient. At about 495 sq ft, the layout suits a single buyer or couple wanting an urban base with outside space rather than a conventional balcony. There is a garage for parking — a valuable nearby convenience in the city.
Practical points to note: the property is leasehold with 88 years remaining, a service charge of about £900 pa and a small ground rent of £100. The building’s solid brick construction likely lacks cavity-wall insulation and the double glazing was installed before 2002, so buyers should consider potential energy-efficiency upgrades. Services and appliances have not been tested; a survey is recommended.
Overall this property will appeal to first-time buyers or investors seeking a central Brighton flat with strong rental and lifestyle appeal, outstanding views and private outside space. Be aware of the mid-length lease and likely retrofit work if you prioritise modern thermal performance.
