An ideal first buy or investment with two bright double bedrooms over two floors, this spacious corner maisonette with its own entrance is good to go in an area of the city popular with professionals, families and mature students. London Road Station, a popular primary school and the Level at the foot of the legendary North Laines are all within a 10-12 minute radius on foot, and Brighton Station is a 15 minute walk. Inside is stylish with a sociable living/dining room and contemporary kitchen, the modern bathroom is light and airy and both bedrooms, one en-suite, have ample space - and are on different levels. There is plentiful permit parking and the nearby al fresco lifestyle of Fiveways, given a top spot in the Sunday Times Best Places to Live Guide, is also in the same zone if you don’t want to walk, as are a choice of parks which include the playgrounds, sports facilities and cafés of The Level, Preston Park and Blakers Park. If you need to commute by car or bus around the corner (but out of hearing) Ditchling Road will take you into the city or out to the National Park, you can roll down the hill to Lewes Road for the universities and Brighton Station with direct trains to Gatwick and London is a 15-minute walk or 7 minutes by cab.

Why you’ll like it:
Big enough for rest, work or play this stylish home with large double glazed bays to bring sunlight in is a breath of fresh air with open views. On the corner of a friendly street known for its quiet convenience it is set back from the road behind a front garden for privacy and it has its own entrance, so it feels like a house.

Inside, stripped floorboards continue into a spacious lounge dining room with a window seat beneath the large bay. Crisp, clean lines and a high ceiling keeps the feel fresh and there’s a classic fireplace where a steel insert and exposed brick bring a contemporary finish to the space. Sunny and well planned, the kitchen has ample storage and solid wood working surfaces. A gas hob and electric grill and oven are beneath a hob, there is designated space for a fridge freezer and plumbing is in place for a washing machine.

Big and bright, the first double bedroom is a restful refuge with calm decoration and alcoves for wardrobes and close by, the cheerful bathroom has a seaside theme with a shower above the shaped bath, shell and seahorse border and natural light. Private and peaceful beneath a large Velux at the top, the second double room has plenty of floorspace to play with, fitted storage and chic en-suite shower room with a luxury finish.

Agent’s Thoughts:
Quiet and convenient with plentiful permit parking, this is a great buy between the vibrant London Road and Fiveways Village with local bus routes into or out of Brighton. London Road Station serving the universities and Lewes is a short walk and Brighton Station with direct access to Gatwick and London is about 15 minutes on foot – or 7 by cab.

Owner’s secret:
“All the rooms are big with natural light and the layout is easy to live in. This area is full of young professionals and families with local bistro pubs and an almost 24/7 BP shop within a stroll, so if you run out of milk it is not a big issue. We have enjoyed entertaining introducing friends to the great choice of amenities of London Road or Fiveways and there’s easy access to parks with playgrounds, cafés, dog walkers and runners, so you’ll soon meet people. There are a choice of good pubs nearby including the Roundhill which is Vegan, whilst the fashionable Open Market and legendary North Laine are a 10-minute walk.”
