Approx. 743 sq ft; two double bedrooms and walk-in wardrobe
Share of freehold, chain-free, very long lease (c.949 years)
Service charge approx. £2,400 pa; factor costs to budget

Local area: close to seafront, Kemptown amenities, good transport links
Higher local crime and area deprivation; consider security and location risks
Set within a handsome Regency terrace just moments from the promenade, this two-bedroom second-floor apartment combines period proportions with a bright, open-plan living space. The wide bay window fills the main room with natural light and frames distant sea views, creating an instantly appealing seaside atmosphere for relaxed living or entertaining.
Practical positives include a very long lease (approx. 949 years), share of freehold, chain-free sale and an approximate 743 sq ft layout with two double bedrooms and a walk-in wardrobe. The property is well-located for buses, local shops, Kemptown Village and Brighton Station, making it a convenient base for commuters, students and professionals.
Be clear about the trade-offs: the building is Victorian solid-brick construction and likely lacks modern insulation, which may mean higher heating costs and potential retrofit work. The neighbourhood records higher-than-average crime and is classified as relatively deprived in parts, so buyers should consider security and local conditions. On-street parking operates under residents’ permit Zone H; there is no off-street parking.
Service charges average around £2,400 a year; council tax is modest. For first-time buyers or investors looking for a characterful seaside flat with strong rental and lifestyle appeal, this apartment offers immediate liveability with scope for cosmetic upgrading and insulation improvements.
