Vere Road is a sought-after street of Victorian terraced housing in a popular residential area just off Preston Circus. The Duke of York's Picture House—Brighton’s much-loved cinema—is just around the corner. London Road and Baker Street, both within walking distance, offer a variety of cafés and restaurants, while the nearby Open Market hosts independent shops, plaza traders, and artists’ studios. The neighbourhood is also well known for its excellent pubs, including The Hare & Hounds and The Joker at Preston Circus, The Open House and The Signalman near London Road station, and The Preston Park Tavern and The Roundhill, both of which are known for their excellent food. Commuters benefit from easy access to Brighton Mainline station, while London Road station provides connections to Lewes and beyond. Several bus routes offer direct access to the city centre. Preston Park, with its expansive green spaces, children’s playground, tennis courts, and velodrome, is also close by.

This two-bedroom apartment, arranged over two floors of a converted Victorian house, has a unique layout and is spacious and welcoming. The private garden is accessible from both floors, which further enhances the feeling of space as the outside is well connected to the interior.

The entrance to the apartment is on the raised ground floor, where the front door opens into an entrance lobby leading to the living room. This elegant space has high ceilings, a bay window, and bespoke cabinetry on either side of the chimney breast. Wooden flooring extends seamlessly into the kitchen, creating a cohesive feel. The kitchen, finished in a stylish grey, includes a good selection of cabinets, an attractive open shelf, and white metro tile splashbacks with contrasting grout. Appliances include a Bosch fan oven and a Samsung induction hob – both brand new – an integrated dishwasher, and space for a fridge freezer and washing machine. A door from the kitchen leads to a raised sun deck, with steps down to the south-west-facing garden.

Also on this floor is a bright, dual-aspect double bedroom overlooking the garden, along with the bathroom, which includes a bath with both handheld and waterfall shower attachments, a vanity unit with a handbasin, and a WC.

Stairs lead down to the lower ground floor, where a second dual-aspect double bedroom has direct access to the garden. Outside, the walled garden is generously sized for such a central location, with mature shrubs, flower borders, a brick patio, and a useful storage shed. The lower level also benefits from a separate WC with a handbasin, conveniently adjacent to the bedroom, off the downstairs hall.
The property benefits from double glazed timber windows and additional insulation both to the walls and underfloor.
