An unusually large Grade I listed maisonette in Sussex Square offering circa 1,900 sq ft across garden, ground and first-floor levels. The flat is vacant and sold at auction, presenting a blank canvas for a buyer prepared to undertake full refurbishment. High ceilings, original period detailing and grand facade create a striking central reception space once works are completed.
Planning, listed building and freeholder consents have been obtained for internal alterations to open the ground floor and add French doors, so the major internal permissions required are in place. The property enjoys secure access to the private, manicured Sussex Square gardens and is a short walk from the seafront—features that drive strong resale and rental appeal in this sought-after location.
Important practical points: the maisonette requires complete renovation throughout, will involve listed-building constraints during works, and currently provides only one bathroom. The sale is leasehold (999 years remaining) and will proceed at auction with a guide of £550,000. Buyers should allow for refurbishment costs and expect listed-status requirements to affect timescale and budgets.
For investors or experienced renovators the property offers clear capital-uplift potential once restored. For homeowners seeking a period residence, the location, generous room sizes and private terraces/gardens offer rare lifestyle benefits—provided the buyer is comfortable with the scope of remedial work and listed-building procedures.
