In a prime location this attractive, bay fronted beauty has great appeal with the bonus of double glazing already installed in most rooms. Inside, an inviting hallway already has storage. The property also has space for a home computer desk, making it perfect for remote workers. Ahead, the elegant living room has classic proportions and is light and inviting with a broad bay. Freshly decorated with 4.43m x 3.84m (14’6 x 12’7) in which to work, rest or play, the fireplace has exposed brick and we understand that the chimney has been swept so there is a possibility of installing a wood burner stnc.
Tucked quietly away at the back, Victorian romance springs to life in a spacious double bedroom where limed oak flooring is underfoot and elegant coving above your head, and with calm decoration and 3.75m x 3.3m (12’4 x 10’10) to relax in, it is ready for your move.
Central to the apartment, the contemporary bathroom has an Aqualisa dual heads shower over the shaped bath and sleek, designer finish. The bathroom also has underfloor heating that also runs in the kitchen and lower hallway.
Bright and cheerful at the far end of the apartment, the fabulous Wren kitchen is a beauty with marbled surfaces and splashbacks, and it is good to go with high end integrated appliances including a touch induction hob and Bosch oven beneath a hood, a fridge and there is also space for an integrated washing machine – or washer dryer.
This fantastic property is being sold with vacant possession and no onward chain, 124 year lease and share of freehold once all the flats in the building are sold in the near future.
Agent says:
“This is a friendly area full of young professionals and families with an unpretentious vibe and shops, cafes and bistro pubs nearby – but out of hearing. The 63 acres of Preston Park and The Level, which both host events in the arts festivals, the open air market and legendary North Laine are a short walk and local buses take you straight into or out of the city, so apartments here do not come on the market often and sell fast.”
Owner’s secret:
“Everything you need is on the doorstep including the stations to Lewes or London and buses to every part of the city and to the universities, so you won’t need a car. There is something for everyone, no matter what you are in to, and all the shops, cafés and bars are very friendly, especially in Preston Circus, so you will soon meet people if you are new to the city.”
What’s around you:
Shops: Preston Circus 5 mins walk, North Laine 10.
Train Station: London Road 2 mins walk, Brighton 15 or 6 by cab.
Seafront or Park: Preston Park 8 mins walk, The Level 9, seafront about 10 by bus.
Closest schools:
Primary: St Bartholomew’s.
Secondary: Dorothy Stringer, Varndean.
Private: Brighton College, Brighton and Hove High.
At the heart of our fabulous, coastal city this secret area is the place to be, between both Preston Park with its sports facilities and fun run Saturdays and the green of the Level which both host fairgrounds and arts events all year round. The cinema, cafes and bars of Preston Circus are a 5 minute stroll as are the major brand shopping, Taj, independent shops and great restaurants of London Road. The vibrant Open Market with its fresh local produce and exotic street foods as well as North Laine’s art venues, restaurants and bars are all there to explore and the cultural centre of the city with its beaches are also easy to reach. There is almost 24/7 access to the station serving London and Gatwick, and local buses will take you to the universities at Moulsecoomb and Falmer.
