Surrenden Road is a wide, tree-lined, residential road, just north of Preston Park. This area is popular for its leafy, attractive streets and relaxed atmosphere. Preston Park itself has open spaces, landscaped gardens, two cafés, tennis courts and even a velodrome. At the weekend it is a hive of activity, with runners, dog walkers, families, and coffee drinkers, all enjoying the park and its amenities. On Preston Drove, you’ll find your local, The Park View, or wander up towards Fiveways, to discover a fantastic selection of independent shops and cafés. Preston Park station is a short walk, from where there are fast services to London Victoria and London Bridge, or south to Brighton station or Hove station and on to Littlehampton. Buses run frequently into town from 5B bus stop, two minutes from your front door. There is quick access by road onto the A23 heading out of Brighton towards Gatwick or the A27.

This superb apartment forms part of a magnificent, red-brick, four-storey, Edwardian building which creates quite a first impression as you arrive. The private entrance is at the side of the building and opens to your kitchen. This is a stylish space, with a contemporary kitchen, solid wood counters and cream metro tile splashbacks. There is a Neff five-burner gas hob, an integrated fridge freezer and an integrated Bosch dishwasher, as well as space for a washing machine, and a tumble dyer. The white ceramic sink sits under the window looking out onto the garden and there are two further windows at the side, making this a light and airy room. From here the kitchen leads onto a central hall that sits at the heart of the apartment. This large space has Fired Earth ceramic floor tiles in a terracotta colour and an area which is currently being used as a home office, with plenty of space for a desk and storage as well as a window to the side. The reception room is a wonderful room which opens onto a dining area at the garden end. In total this space is over 8 metres in length. There is a working fireplace (the chimney has recently been swept). The living room has oak engineered flooring and the dining area has slate tiles on the floor, with aluminium bifold doors in anthracite, opening onto the west-facing garden. Outside is a beautifully landscaped garden, with sandstone flagstones, raised flowerbeds and a willow tree.

The main bedroom is at the front of the apartment and is a huge room, over five metres deep, which the current owners have divided to create a dressing room area. A window seat has been built in to the bay window. This room also has engineered oak floors, as does the second bedroom. The bathroom has a white suite with a metro tile and contrasting grout. The thermostatic shower over the bath has both a fixed and a hand-held shower. The hand basin is set in a vanity unit and the toilet has a concealed cistern.
