Description

Nestled in a prime location in Brighton, this substantial five-bedroom terraced house spans four floors and presents an exceptional opportunity for both personal buyers and investors. Currently available with vacant possession and no onward chain, this property boasts flexible living spaces with significant potential for transformation into a remarkable family residence, as well as a history as a successful HMO investment. The proximity to Brighton city centre, London Road Station, and local amenities enhances its desirability. The ground level features a front reception room or bedroom, a separate living area, and a rear kitchen that can be reconfigured to create an impressive open-plan layout to suit contemporary lifestyles. Alternatively, the existing setup allows for distinct lounge and dining areas, catering to varied needs. There is ample opportunity for upgrading the kitchen or extending it, subject to obtaining the necessary permissions. On the first floor, you will find a spacious double bedroom accompanied by a well-equipped family bathroom. The property benefits from generous dimensions combined with high ceilings and large windows that flood each level with natural light. This space could easily serve as a luxurious guest suite or adapt into an office or nursery based on the occupant's requirements. Moving up to the second floor are two sizable bedrooms that provide flexibility for family use or continued HMO occupancy. With its thoughtful design across the upper levels, this home affords many possibilities for growth. Many charming period features remain intact while opening doors to cosmetic updates that allow for personalization. The top floor hosts an impressive principal bedroom that occupies the entire space, providing stunning rooftop views and a private retreat perfect for owner-occupiers. Future enhancements could be explored here to maximize its potential further. This property not only stands out as an ideal family home but also serves as an excellent investment choice. Currently configured as a five-bedroom HMO with consistent demand from student tenants, it is leased until July 2026 at £3,683 PCM—yielding an attractive gross return of approximately 9.3%. Buyers have the flexibility to continue this rental model or revert back to conventional residential use once the tenancy concludes. With convenient access to Brighton's thriving city centre, seafront attractions, universities, and efficient transport links including Brighton and London Road railway stations nearby, coupled with a variety of independent cafes and shops close by, this property embodies long-term residential appeal alongside immediate income potential.
