Perfectly located between Brighton and Hove Stations, and just a few minutes from the beach and the city centre, sits this deceptively spacious two-bedroom maisonette. It is formed from the entire ground and lower ground floors of a period townhouse, so its rooms are generously proportioned, and a wide bow window brings natural light into the living room form the west.

It is brimming with potential to add value with modernisation. It has been a successful rental property in recent years, but with some creative input it could become a beautiful home. It occupies some of the most sought-after land in the country, so it would make a fabulous investment as another buy to let flat, as a perfect first step on the ladder, or a holiday home for those who love the Brighton & Hove vibe.

In brief:
Style: Ground & LGF maisonette in a Regency townhouse

Type: 2 double bedrooms, 1 bathroom, 1 living/dining room, 1 kitchen

Location: Regency Square Conservation Area
Floor Area: Please see floor plan
Outside: N/A
Parking: Parking Zone Z
Council Tax Band: C

Why you’ll like it:
Western Street sweeps down from Western Road to the sea, lined with Victorian and Regency townhouses adorned with intricate architectural detailing and iron work. This flat has been converted from the lower floors of a townhouse at the south end of the street, just minutes from the bustling and fashionable coffee shops and boutiques of Brunswick Town.

It benefits from its own street entrance which opens to a vestibule for hanging coats, then into the living room and dining room where a wide, multi pane bay window almost covers its westerly wall. While the decoration is smart and neutral in here, with wood laminate floors and white walls, it is a blank canvas for new owners to put their own stamp on the place. There is ample space for comfortable furnishings and for a formal dining table and chairs – perfectly placed within the bay.
Also on this floor, the first double bedroom sits peacefully to the rear of the building. It is a fine size double with a deep built-in cupboard and uniquely has its own staircase leading down to the bathroom on the lower level. A second staircase leads down from the spacious hallway between the ground floor rooms where there is yet more built-in storage – a real bonus for apartment living.

Downstairs, the principal bedroom is another double room with carpet underfoot. Natural light filters down from the street facing side, but it is perfectly private being lower ground floor.
The bathroom sits to the rear, off the kitchen, and while both rooms are in working order, it is here where the greatest impact will be achieved with modernisation. They are generous spaces which would lend themselves to reconfiguration. As they currently stand, there is a shower over the bath, and the kitchen offers plenty of storage alongside an integrated oven, hob and fridge, leaving space and plumbing for a washing machine.

Agent’s thoughts:
With so much potential and a fantastic location, this property will appeal to developers and first-time buyers alike, looking to invest in the city.

Owner’s thoughts:
“This has been a successful rental property for me as tenants have loved living so close to the beach. The transport links are also excellent, and there is potential to add further value which will appeal.”
