Situated on a quiet road near the newly regenerated Preston Circus and just a short stroll from both Brighton and London Road Stations, is this one-bedroom apartment offering excellent value for the location. It is a blank canvas waiting for a new owner to put their own stamp on the place which will add considerable value and style to each of its well-proportioned rooms. It resides on the first floor of a Victorian end of terrace house with both an easterly and southerly aspect due to its corner position. There is plenty to entertain you nearby and the city is within easy walking distance, so this property is sure to be snapped up.

Why you’ll like it:
Clyde Road is surprisingly quiet for such a central location, just minutes from the bustling Preston Circus and the North Laine Shopping District. The area is characterised by attractive tree lined Victorian terraces, with this property sitting within a large house holding a corner plot facing southeast.

Form the main door, stairs rise up to this apartment which spans the entire first floor. Stepping inside, the flat feels immediately light and airy due to fresh buttermilk walls, coir carpets and plenty of glazing to fill it with natural light. The bedroom is a peaceful double room with alcoves ideal for placing bedroom furnishings alongside a double bed, and the window is double glazed to ensure a warm and restful night’s sleep.

At the far end of the corridor, the living room is a generous size with a wide picture window overlooking the pretty tree-lined road to the south. There is ample space in here for comfortable seating and dining, plus the kitchen is conveniently close by. The kitchen comes fitted with plenty of storage and freestanding appliances to include a tall fridge freezer, a washing machine and a gas cooker, yet it would be possible to modernise in here to create real impact. The same can be said for the bathroom which is in full working order and a great size but is simply designed in white with a shower over the bath.

Agent’s thoughts:
The potential for modernisation and the location is going to be hugely appealing to first-time buyers and investors.

Owner’s thoughts:
“This has been a successful rental property for me due to the location. Preston Circus has been transformed over the last few years and there are now so many lovely bars, cafes and restaurants, not to mention the Duke of York Cinema at the bottom of our road. The proximity to two stations is also a great pull for the area – I’ll be sad to let this property go.”
