Offered at auction, this part-built three-bedroom house is of cross-laminated timber construction beneath a pitched roof. Arranged over the ground and two upper floors, it has an approximate floor area of 99.69 sq m (1,073 sq ft) and is currently in shell condition, with further capital expenditure required to complete the development. Buyers should make their own enquiries about the remaining work and the property before bidding.
The property is in Queensbury Mews, off Regency Square in central Brighton, around a two-minute walk from the beach. Brighton railway station is stated to be within a five-minute walk, with regional services and direct connections to London and Gatwick. The A23 and A27 provide road links, and local bus routes serve the area. The online auction is scheduled for Thursday 19 November 2026; further information and legal documents are available through BidX1.

An internal assessment of the opportunity to acquire, improve and create value.
67out of 100
Grade CPotential opportunity
Confidence: MEDIUM
This is a genuine shell-stage project in a standout Brighton location: a three-bedroom, three-floor CLT house, a short walk from the station and beach. At £250,000—about £233/sq ft versus a local average of £499—it offers a notably low entry price for someone ready to complete the build, fit out the interiors and finish the exterior. The staircase and windows are already in place, but the unfinished envelope and visible staining mean the scope needs careful investigation and delivery.
The numbers support the potential, though the weak condition score reflects how much work remains before the house is habitable. It is being sold by online auction; bidding can take the hammer above the guide, so the eventual price may not stay this cheap.
Key opportunities
- Complete the three-floor layout as a finished home, with scope to shape the interior fit-out around the next owner's needs.
- The low asking price relative to local £/sq ft offers an opportunity to acquire in a central Brighton location.
- Windows and staircase are already installed, providing a starting point for completing the interior and external envelope.
Key risks
- Shell-stage interiors, exposed services and incomplete external cladding make this a full completion programme rather than a cosmetic refresh; allow for substantial time, coordination and budget.
- Staining is visible on ceiling and stairwell surfaces, and the apparent incompleteness of the weatherproofing should be investigated.
