2 bedroom apartment for sale
Key information
Property description & features
- Tenure: Leasehold (89 years remaining)
Bates Road is just north of Preston Drove, and a five minute walk from Preston Park. This area is an extremely popular part of Brighton, chosen by families for its proximity to the park and to excellent schools, and by anyone who is looking to be part of a residential community, in a leafy and relaxed part of the city. Preston Park has large areas of grass which attract groups of friends in the summer, for picnics and games. There are also cafés, bowling greens, a velodrome and tennis courts. On Preston Drove you will find a good selection of local shops, cafés, and the Park View Pub.
This charming two bedroom maisonette is arranged over the raised ground floor and first floor of an attractive red-brick Edwardian property. A private front door opens to a bright hallway from where you can see through to the kitchen which has a window onto the garden. To your right is a living room with a period fireplace which has a cast-iron insert and decorative tiles. There are two windows in the square bay at the front of the house. Continuing down the hall to the back of the property, the space opens up to form a kitchen/breakfast room across the full width of the house. Floor tiles begin in the hall and continue through to the kitchen. In the centre of the room there is space for a large dining table and at the far end, a door opens to steps which lead down to the garden. This room feels like the heart of the home; south-facing, it is filled with sunlight and in the summer you’re likely to leave the garden door open all day long.
The kitchen has beech-coloured cabinets and a pretty, blue, metro-tile splashback. There is a gas hob and a double, electric, fan oven with grill, space for a dishwasher and a washing machine and space for an American-style fridge freezer. Steps lead down to the south-facing garden, which has two decked areas and a mature flowering cherry tree.
Upstairs are two good double bedrooms. The back bedroom has views over the garden and an ensuite WC with handbasin and the front bedroom, which is the larger of the two, has a square bay window to the front. The main bathroom is off the landing and has both a bath and a shower over the bath, with shower screen.
Preston Park station is within easy walking distance, from where there are direct services to London Victoria and London Bridge, Blackfriars, St Pancras, Luton and Bedford. There is also easy access by car to the A23 and A27 for routes out of Brighton.

Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s

Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength: obtained from Ofcom on August 10, 2022
Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:
Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
