For sale is a most adaptable property being only a few minutes walk from Brighton railway station. Gatwick airport is about 1/2 an hour away and London about an hour. This makes it very suitable for local, national and international travel.

The whole property was built in the 1870’s and converted within a year or two into a maisonette (for sale) and a separate flat in the basement. The maisonette has it’s own ground floor entrance and is entirely separate from the basement for utility bills, council tax and insurance. The maisonette and basement flat share the freehold 50/50. The practice has been that any repairs to the roof or water out (sewage) are shared. So, in effect, halved for both properties.

The property is currently run as a 2 bedroomed household with a living room, bathroom and kitchen on the ground floor. The 2 bedrooms are upstairs, both are double sized rooms.

This particular property has a very rare, large private garden (for central Brighton).

The kitchen has an electric oven and gas hobs with a 1.5 sink and drainer. There is room for a fridge/freezer and washer/dryer. There is a gas boiler for hot water and central heating. The kitchen leads into the large private garden.

The garden is approx. 140 M2 (1500 Ft2). It has a large wooden shed at the far end (the width of the garden) and a Wendy house. Currently there is a pond and 2 mature cherry trees.

The bathroom (downstairs) has a bath, electric shower, wc and hand basin.

The living room has lots of windows which have been triple glazed for heat and sound purposes. There is a solid fuel burner with an appropriately installed inspection plate. There is plenty of room for a piano and dining table as well as 2 or more sofas.

The living room, bathroom and hallway have under-carpet soundproofing.

Upstairs, the main (front) bedroom is spacious, has secondary glazed windows and the adjoining walls have both been soundproofed. This makes for a very peaceful place to sleep.

The smaller (2nd) bedroom will easily fit a double bed or two singles. The window that looks onto the garden.

If you have further funds beyond the asking price, this property is very suitable for conversion into a 3,4 or 5 bedroom home. 3,4 and 5 bed properties in this area sell for over £600k. So the asking price is very reasonable. Obviously check the figures yourself.

Within half a mile are 3 major supermarkets (Sainsbury, Co-Op and Aldi), many convenience stores and take away food shops.

If you are interested then book a viewing. The current owner will be happy to show you around and can answer any questions you may have.

The property will be advertised on-line but if for any reason your enquiries seem to not be getting through then it may be wise to drop a note in at the property with your contact details.

It is intended that the freehold for the property will be extended to 999 years on completion of sale. At no cost to the buyer.

It is believed that the wooden shed can be replaced by a brick building (for a granny flat ?) without planning permission but do check before you start building.

It is perfectly normal for a property to be both leasehold and (share of) freehold at the same time. All conveyancing solicitors will be accustomed to this.
