Ideal First Home or Investment Opportunity – Stylish One-Bedroom Apartment Near Queen’s Park and the Sea

Tucked away on a quiet street in the highly sought-after “Baker’s Bottom” area, this bright and freshly decorated one-bedroom apartment offers the perfect blend of period charm, modern comfort, and a fantastic location. Positioned on the first floor of a charming Victorian house—just behind Brighton College and within walking distance of Queen’s Park, the sea, The Lanes, Royal Sussex County Hospital, and the vibrant Kemp Town Village—this home is ready to move straight into.

Occupying a peaceful corner position at the end of two characterful, colourfully painted terraces (one a cul-de-sac), the property enjoys a surprisingly tranquil setting for such a central location. As an end-of-terrace home, it benefits from extra space and its own private entrance tucked discreetly along the side.

Step inside to a bright entrance hall, illuminated by a large landing window. There’s space for a coat rack, and the hallway's high ceilings and fresh neutral décor create a welcoming first impression. A quality carpet runs throughout the stairs and living areas, enhancing the overall sense of comfort and style.

The generous landing area has been cleverly transformed into a practical workspace and utility area, complete with plumbing for a washing machine, fitted storage, and access to a loft space—offering exciting potential for future development.

The open-plan living area, bathed in natural light from its south-facing window. The contemporary kitchen is positioned along the far wall.

To the front of the property, the generously sized double bedroom enjoys views over the charming street below. Wide alcoves offer ideal spaces for wardrobes or storage solutions. Adjacent is a bright bathroom, complete with a shower-over-bath, frosted windows for privacy.

Further Potential
A share of the freehold is available to purchase for £7,500. The freehold includes permission to extend into the loft space, with a full-width rear dormer loft conversion permitted under current “Permitted Development” rights—potentially doubling the property's usable floor area (subject to building regulations).

Known locally as “Baker’s Bottom,” the peaceful cul-de-sacs of Hendon Street, Bute Street, and Rochester Street are renowned for their strong community spirit and vibrant charm. The property backs onto Craven Wood, a serene green space with footpaths leading directly onto the South Downs—perfect for walking, cycling, or simply unwinding in nature.

Full profileProperty listings
Hamlyn Smith brings together a highly knowledgeable team with over 30 years combined experience in the Brighton and Hove property market. The demands on our homes – and therefore on our role – have never been greater. The world is evolving faster than ever, and Hamlyn Smith is born out of a desire to reflect this pace of change in everything we can offer you. Our offering to you is as bespoke as your home, as unique as your situation and as personal as your plans for the future. It is cliché to say, but no one strategy fits all. A detached Georgian townhouse, a penthouse flat on the seafront or a semi-detached house on the outskirts of the city have little in common, and neither should our approach. New technology, the explosion of social media and a market that is connected in infinitely more ways than even ten years ago allows us so many more opportunities to connect people to the right property. Whether you have a clear requirement or are taking the first tentative steps in exploring your options, we would love to hear from you.
