Western Street, Brighton, East Sussex, BN1

With the sea sparkling at the bottom of the road, visible from the front door, this three-bedroom, two-bathroom maisonette couldn’t be more quintessentially ‘Brighton’. It is formed over the upper three floors of a tall townhouse giving it airy proportions and period features. It is also perfectly located to access both Brighton and Hove’s Mainline Stations and the city centre shops are on its doorstep.

With renovation and modernisation, new owners would have the chance to add considerable value while breathing new life into a historic building in one of the city’s property-hot-spots.

It occupies some of the most sought-after land in the country, so it would make a fabulous investment for landlords, professionals or families who will appreciate the excellent school catchment or simply love the Brighton & Hove vibe.
