Summary - Essex Street, Brighton BN2 1JW
2 bed 1 bath Maisonette
Bright two-bedroom maisonette with front and rear patios, sold with no onward chain..
Two double bedrooms with spacious south-facing master bedroom
A bright two-bedroom maisonette in central Kemptown, offered with no onward chain and both front and rear patio gardens. The south-facing lounge and master bedroom bring good natural light, while the property’s layout suits a first-time buyer or an investor seeking a compact, city-centre rental. The building dates from the mid-20th century and the apartment shows modern interior touches and double glazing installed before 2002.
Key practical details include an 89-year lease (leasehold), a modest annual service charge of £975 and a low ground rent of £10. The property is around 785 sq ft and heated by a mains-gas boiler with radiators. There is no flood risk and broadband and mobile signal are described as strong — useful for city living or letting to students or professionals.
Buyers should be aware of local social and safety challenges: the area has high crime statistics and is classified as very deprived in local indices. The relatively short remaining lease will likely mean additional cost if you wish to extend in future; prospective purchasers should factor lease extension and any leasehold pack fees into their budgets. A buyer seeking a convenient, well-located starter home or a city-let with outdoor space will find clear potential here, balanced by the need to manage lease and local-area considerations.
