Why you’ll like it:

These glorious Victorian townhouses were built in the 1860s when Brighton was in full swing as the place to live for the fashionable and wealthy who wished to reap the benefits of the sea air and bathing. Now many of these grand buildings have been converted into spacious apartments such as this, yet they continue to command the same air of grandeur and desirability. The exterior of this property bears all the architectural features of the period, then stepping inside, the scale of the building becomes apparent. The ceilings soar in the communal hallways and stairs rise up to your floor.

From the entrance hall, the living room is directly ahead and is a generous space with two gracefully arched windows framing far-reaching views across the city to the sea, reminding you just how close to the coast you are here. There is ample space for comfortable furnishings around the period style fireplace, while there is further room to dine in the bay alongside the kitchen.
While the kitchen is in need of some modernisation, it is all in perfect working order, so you can move straight in if need be. The oven, hob and extractor are integrated, leaving space for a fridge freezer below the counter, although the room could be rearranged for greater versatility and impact.

Next door, the bathroom is also simply designed in white with a shower over the bath, so it would be possible to add value in here too.
Peacefully positioned to the rear of the building, the bedroom is another fine sized room with a traditional built-in wardrobe and space for a king size bed without compromising on floor space.

Agent’s thoughts:

This is a super flat for first-time buyers or it would be great as a buy-to-let investment as the location is incredible.

Owner’s thoughts:

“You can’t be in a better location to truly enjoy the Brighton & Hove lifestyle. This has been a successful rental investment for me, and it has never sat empty as my tenants have always loved living here; being able to walk everywhere; trips to the beach in summer; and there’s so much to entertain you nearby – I’ll be sad to let it go.”
