Modernised throughout and with a sunny westerly aspect, this uniquely spacious one-bedroom maisonette sits just a few minutes from fashionable Seven Dials and Brighton Station. While it is positioned sociably close to the city, it is also peacefully tucked away on a quiet residential street, with everything you could need within easy walking distance. It is formed within the first and top floors of a substantial, double fronted Victorian villa, so it has the generous proportions of the period, including high ceilings and wide bay windows. Immaculate throughout with a wealth of contemporary fittings, this property is also brilliantly located in the city, so it will appeal to first time buyers, professionals, commuters and investors alike.

Why you’ll like it:
Built in 1890s, these stately Victorian terraces bear all the hallmarks of the period with ornate architectural detailing and wide bay windows on their handsome, canted bay facades. They were originally built as luxury family homes, and while many have since been converted into sizable apartments, they remain just as popular today.
This road is surprisingly quiet for such a central location, and this generous maisonette is even more so as it sits elevated on the uppermost floors. Spread over two levels, this comfortable home feels more spacious than many one-bedroom properties and is filled with natural light due to a wide bay window on its westerly elevation and large Velux skylights on the top floor.

Stepping inside, it is immediately clear this is a beautiful space which has been expertly maintained by the current owner. Fresh white walls and wood flooring greets you in the entrance hall where there is under stairs storage for household items to ensure the flat remains clutter free. You eye is drawn to the right where the open plan living room and kitchen invites both relaxation and entertaining in its sociable space. An arm of the kitchen forms a curved breakfast bar with storage below and while further storage and integrated appliances run along the rear wall. The washing machine is usefully housed within the main shower room next door, away from the main living space. There is ample space in the living room for comfortable sofas and warm light filters in through the sash bay window during the afternoon.

Next door, the shower room is lined in porcelain marbled tiles with contemporary sanitaryware to include a vanity unit below the basin and a heated rail for towels.

Carpeted stairs rise to the bedroom which spans the top floor. The ceiling is vaulted but allows for plenty of headspace and there is a vast amount of storage built-in to the eaves, so even with a king size bed, the floor space is not compromised. It is quiet and restful up here with two Velux windows so you can stargaze as you drift off to sleep.
