Ideal for first time buyers and buy to let investors, this smart and stylish one-bedroom flat is ready to move straight in to. It is formed from the part-lower ground floor of a tall Victorian townhouse which has been converted well, ensuring every room is generously proportioned and naturally light. Well-presented throughout, the interior has a sleek, modern finish, and it has been well-designed to include a work space between the living room and kitchen. Due to its position within the building, it benefits from its own street entrance and sole access to the rear patio which becomes a welcome extension of the living space during summer.

You are also only a short stroll to the city and both Brighton and London Road Stations, so you are perfectly located for the commute to London or the universities. With so many attractive features, it is sure to be snapped up.

Why you’ll like it:

Natural light streams in through a wide bay window and patio doors to ensure this smart, one-bedroom apartment feels bright and airy. While it is technically lower ground floor, it does not feel as such, with access to the patio at the rear and street views to the front. A couple of steps lead down past glossy black railings to the private entrance to this apartment. Stepping inside, it feels deceptively spacious as a long corridor stretches through its depth to the kitchen and bathroom beyond. White walls and wood flooring provide a smart blank canvas, although the bedroom to the right is carpeted for added warmth and comfort.

A fine size double room, the bedroom offers ample space for a king size bed and freestanding furnishings. The bay window brings in plenty of natural light, and being double glazed, you can always ensure a restful night’s sleep.

Moving through the flat, the entrance hall widens as it opens up to the living room. Once more, there is plenty of space for relaxation and a small dining table and chairs if need be. The current owner works from home, so they have created a spacious work area alongside the kitchen which is also conveniently open to the room. Streamlined, handle-free gloss cabinets are paired with solid oak worktops for a contemporary finish, and within these, the electric hob and oven have been integrated, leaving space for a freestanding fridge freezer and a washing machine.

At the far end of the flat, the bathroom is equally modern with large-scale wall tiles in stone-grey around a white bath suite with a rainfall shower above it.

Outside, the patio has space for dining alfresco and is perfectly low-maintenance, ready for the busy modern lifestyle.

Agent’s thoughts:

This is a well-designed and attractive flat sitting in a highly-favoured location – so we do not expect it to sit on the market for long.

Owner’s thoughts:

“This is a really peaceful flat for somewhere so close to the city centre. It feels nicely tucked away, yet it is hugely convenient. The area is amazing as it has a really lovely sense of community with lots of families and professionals, so while I am looking for a larger property now, I am hoping to stay in the area.”
