Why you’ll like it:

The Berkeley is an attractive, contemporary apartment on Portland Road, close to Portslade Station and within easy walking distance of Boundary Road shops and several popular foodie pubs. This modern apartment sits on the first floor to the rear, away from the road, with a private balcony looking out over the local landscape below open skies.

The building is well-managed and there is entry phone access for added security. The communal ways are well-maintained with stairs to your floor where the door is clearly numbered. Stepping inside, it is immediately clear this is a sunny and spacious apartment with fresh white walls, over-sized windows and natural wood flooring which act like a blank canvas for any new occupants. Gas central heating warms the space, although modern design ensures it is naturally insulated.
Immediately connecting with the surrounding environs, the expert design of this apartment allows you to head straight along the hallway and into the stunning open plan living room, where open views and sunlight stream in through large picture windows and a full height panel opening to the balcony. Perfect for entertaining, there is space to spill outside for alfresco drink and dining during the summertime, or there is ample space to dine inside at all times of the year. Open to the west, you can watch the sun go down over the roofline and stargaze into the night below open skies.

Behind you, the immaculate kitchen is sociable, but not dominant and the high spec appliances are integrated, including the gas hob, electric oven, dishwasher, Washing Machine and Fridge Freezer so you can move straight in with relative ease.
Thoughtfully organised, the luxury bathroom is central to the apartment and the two double bedrooms are both close by, each generous in size and with more, splendid and open views of this surprisingly leafy city, which also makes these rooms more private than usual in this central location.

Agent’s thoughts:
Well-presented and modern, this apartment is the ideal base in the city for professionals who will appreciate the convenience of the station and amenities of Boundary and Portland Roads.
Owner’s thoughts:
“This has been a hugely successful rental property for me as the location ensured it was never sat empty and all the rooms are good sizes. I will be sad to let it go.”
