1 bedroom flat

Sitting within moments of Seven Dials and within walking distance of Brighton Beach, this one-bedroom flat is brilliantly located within the city. It is formed within the top floor of a substantial Edwardian villa, so it enjoys the generous proportions of the period and feels peaceful for such a central location. It is naturally light with an easterly aspect and the décor is contemporary with a light neutral palette of calicos and creams for the carpets and walls.

With Brighton Station easily accessible on foot, and the city shops and park nearby, this apartment will be popular with professionals, investors and commuters alike.

Why you’ll like it:

Strolling to the beach from Seven Dials, Vernon Gardens is a row of Edwardian villas which have since been converted into apartments such as this one. Attractive on the approach, this house sits well back from the road behind a parking forecourt and has a grand communal entrance below a beamed and gabled front door. Once inside, the scale of the original house becomes apparent, and it is clear this is a well-maintained property. A turning staircase wends its way up to the second (top) floor where your door is clearly numbered.

Upon entry, you step into a hallway where there is space for coat hooks. The first room you come to is the bedroom which is a lovely double with pale walls and soft fawn carpet underfoot, alongside plenty of built-in storage. A sweet window looks out over the mature trees nearby to the south, allowing a beautiful light to filter in during the day.

Across the hall, the bathroom is contemporary with pale stone ceramic wall and floor tiles and a conical basin set into the stone topped vanity unit. There is a full bath with a shower over it, and a heated rail for your towels.

At the end of the hall, the living room and dining room feels bright and airy with a wide, multi-pane dormer window looking out over the attractive Regency architecture opposite. There is ample space for formal dining and relaxed seating, and the kitchen is open plan to the room. Cream and cappuccino gloss units have been paired with dark wood-effect worktops, and within these, the fridge freezer, oven, electric hob and washing machine have been integrated, so you can move straight in with relative ease. A grand period fireplace is for use as a mantel only but adds huge character and decoration to the room.
