Why you’ll like it:

Quintessentially Victorian, the house has a grand façade adorned with canted bay windows architectural detailing including intricate iron work on the sills.
This sunny apartment is formed from the entire first floor, but its split-level layout and gloriously high ceilings make it feel more spacious than your standard Victorian conversion.

You approach up some wide stone steps and into a neat communal hall where your door is on the first floor. From here, your eye is drawn to the living room at the front of the building, where natural light streams in through a wide bay sash window almost covering the westerly wall.
This looks out to St Luke’s Church while bringing a warm light in during the afternoon.
Pale grey walls and carpet are off-set by woodwork and features picked out in white, and there is ample space in here for dining and relaxation on sumptuous furnishings.

Next door, the kitchen has been well-designed for the space with plenty of units at both wall and base levels. The fan oven, electric hob and extractor fan are integrated, leaving space for a fridge and washing machine below the granite-effect laminate counter top.

From the generous landing, the bathroom is easy to access from the living room and both bedrooms. Classic in white, it has a shower over the bath and an attractive built-in storage unit below the basin for toiletries. Bedroom two is also on this level and is a sunny double with peaceful views looking out over the rear of the building across the city from its hilltop position. The principal bedroom sits on the lower level and is also peacefully tucked away to the rear of the building.

The bay window frames a sensational vista across the city’s rooftop and trees, right over to the racecourse and the South Downs Way below open, ever-changing skies. This is a charming double room painted delicate rose-blush creating a restful space to wake up in each day. Even with a king size bed and freestanding furnishings, the floor space is not compromised, yet a built-in cupboard maximises this further.

Agent’s thoughts:

Deceptively spacious, airy and light, this apartment is hugely attractive and ready to go. The location is an added bonus.
