What the owner says:

"71ª has been a lively and vibrant space for the past 25 years that we´ve owned it. It´s unconventional nature has been home to numerous artists and creatives over the years and offers one of the very few remaining properties in Brighton for someone who is looking to have both somewhere to live, an annex for friends, family or rentals and a workspace onsite. The size of the site would also be perfect for those looking to upgrade to a more self-sustainable life with plenty of roof space for solar and the patio area ideal for some clever urban garden planting. The property has been known as the Thermometer Works for years now due to the fact that they used to make and store the glass tubes for thermometers and other equipment in there many years ago (apparently they also made components for the dials for Spitfire fighter planes during the Second World War). Set back from the other houses in the street and away from the noise of the main road means that it´s a quiet and private space, and the off-street parking space is worth it´s weight in gold! The area has seen a lot of investment recently and there are now some great cafés, bakeries, pubs and parks all within a few minutes walking distance. The location is still close enough to be able to walk into town yet has got a good choice of regular bus services. We´ve loved living here and and will miss the loft-apartment lifestyle – the top apartment is bright and light throughout the year – and the convenience of having both an income and a workspace. If we could keep it we would, but are sure that the new owners will loving putting their mark on it as much as we have!"
