Stone Street is a privately let apartment at 16 Stone Street, Brighton BN1 2HB, right in the center of Brighton. Unlike the purpose-built halls covered elsewhere on this site, it's a private three-bedroom flat marketed to students through listing platforms rather than a managed, branded student scheme, which makes it a genuinely different kind of option worth understanding before you consider it. This guide covers what Stone Street actually offers, the location, what's included, the honest picture, and who it suits.

The apartment and what to expect
The Stone Street apartment is a three-bedroom, two-bathroom flat in a prime central Brighton location, suited to a group of three students who want a genuine flat share rather than a managed hall room. Because this is a private letting rather than a branded scheme, exact furnishings, kitchen equipment, and included extras vary by the specific listing, so it's worth checking the current listing carefully or asking the letting agent directly. Rent and what's included, whether that's bills, Wi-Fi, or contents insurance, should be confirmed directly with the landlord or agent before booking, since private lettings don't follow the standardized, all-inclusive pricing structure that branded student halls use.
Location and getting around
Stone Street sits in the very center of Brighton, with Hong Kong Place and China Garden nearby for noodles and breakfast, Churchill Square a short walk away for shopping, and the beach reachable on foot for a coffee with a sea breeze. A bus stop next to the building runs services out to the University of Sussex, taking around half an hour, so this is a genuine commute rather than a walk for Sussex students, while it puts you firmly in the middle of Brighton's city center life, cafes, shops, and nightlife. My tip: Stone Street's central position makes it a strong choice if being in the heart of Brighton itself matters more to you than a short walk to either university campus, but time your actual commute to Sussex or Brighton's Moulsecoomb campus before committing.
Amenities
- Central Brighton location
- Close to Churchill Square shopping centre

The honest picture
Stone Street's genuine strength is a truly central Brighton location, walking distance from the beach, shops, and restaurants, in a spacious three-bedroom flat suited to a group of friends. The honest counterpoint: because this is a private letting rather than a managed student scheme, there's no on-site student support team, no standardized all-inclusive bills package, and the University of Sussex is around a 30-minute bus journey away rather than a walk, so it suits students who specifically want central Brighton living over close campus proximity. As always, confirm the exact rent, deposit, and inclusions directly with the landlord or letting agent before committing.
Who Stone Street Brighton suits
Strong fit: groups of three students who want a genuine flat-share in the heart of Brighton; those who prioritize city-center and beachfront living over being close to campus; students who are comfortable with a bus commute to the University of Sussex.
Weaker fit: students who want to walk to lectures at the University of Sussex; those who want bills and contents insurance bundled into a single, predictable weekly rent through a managed scheme.
