Located in the heart of the Lanes in central Brighton, the property forms part of Bartholomew Square, a busy and vibrant pedestrianised public square that is home to Brighton Town Hall, and situated within close proximity of Brighton seafront and the Palace Pier. The city enjoys excellent connectivity, with links to Gatwick Airport and London via the A23/M23 and to the city of Portsmouth via the A27.
