South-facing raised-ground studio with strong natural light
A bright, south-facing studio on the raised ground floor, recently refurbished and offered chain-free. The apartment benefits from a long lease (about 135 years remaining) and a compact, efficient layout that suits a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor. Large south-facing glazing brings good daylight into the main living space.
The kitchenette is recessed to maximise floor area and the contemporary shower room is newly fitted. The block sits in Kemptown within easy walking distance of village shops, cafes, Brighton Marina, the Royal Sussex Hospital and strong transport links — ideal for city professionals or someone seeking a low-maintenance pied-à-terre by the sea.
Be clear on limitations: the studio is small at 261 sq ft (24.3 sq m), with limited storage and no central heating system (electric heaters assumed). The wider area indicators show high crime and significant local deprivation, which may affect resale or rental premium. Ground rent is modest (£45) but this is a leasehold property, so service charges and communal condition should be checked.
Overall this is a compact, economical urban studio that’s ready to move into. It offers a long lease, recent refurbishment and an excellent location — but buyers should weigh the small internal size and neighbourhood challenges against the affordability and convenience on offer.
