Why you’ll like it:
Far reaching views over the city, generous rooms and a city central location are just some of the elements which make this property a fantastic investment. It sits within a well-maintained Victorian townhouse and being elevated from street level on the upper two floors, ensures it is completely private from within.
From the communal entrance hall, shared with just one other, a flight of stairs leads up to your door. Once inside, it is clear this is a naturally light and spacious apartment with a smart neutral décor in shades of calico, white and cream. From the first half landing, the bathroom is directly ahead. This is a great size with ample storage in sleek curved cabinets alongside a contemporary bath suite. Above this is a rainfall shower and a tall, heated rail in white for towels.
A few more steps rise to the upper landing where the kitchen dining room is next to the left.
This has also been modernised and well-designed for the space to include a vast amount of storage in streamlined handle free cabinetry, paired with dark laminate worktops. Within these, the oven, gas hob and fridge freezer are integrated, leaving space for a washing machine, while a space saving dining table can be folded away when not in use. From here you gain the first views across the city, taking in the graceful arches of the Victorian viaduct, the concertina roofline of Brighton Station and the grand structure of St Bartholomew Church, all sitting below open skies.
Spanning the front of the building, the living room also has space for dining and large, comfortable sofas. Wood shelving is fitted within the alcoves for books and ornaments and the decoration is nicely neutral to suit all styles of modern furnishing.
A further flight of stairs rises up to the double bedrooms on the top floor. Being elevated in the building ensures these are ultimately peaceful rooms with double glazed dormer windows for added peace and warmth. While one bedroom is currently dressed as a dressing room alongside the principal bedroom, they both allow for a double bed and freestanding furnishings, making them ideal for families or sharers. Both rooms also enjoy deep eaves storage and there is further space for a wardrobe or chest of drawers on the upper landing.
