Why you’ll like it:

Those living in Brighton for some time will have seen the incredible regeneration of this area over the last few years with beautifully designed, modern buildings rising up on the grounds of the old Preston Barracks, creating a new and contemporary city scape offering affordable and well-designed homes for all people. There is now a bustling community who live here in the Home X developments, with this stunning two-bedroom apartment residing in The Furlong, completed in 2024.

Externally, the building is imposing but beautiful in decorative red brick, with angled window casements giving it unique appeal. The communal ways are well kept, and the communal grounds are maintained with neat topiary and trees to welcome wildlife and form an attractive space to return home to each day.

Stepping inside the apartment, it is clearly a streamlined and modern space with bright, well-presented rooms using soothing neutral tones which act as a blank canvas to new owners. Wide engineered oak floorboards flow into the main reception which has clearly defined areas for relaxation on sumptuous furnishings and for formal dining alongside the open plan kitchen. Within navy units sit integrated Siemens appliances below oak worktops to echo the tone of the floor. French doors open to the sun terrace which becomes a wonderful extension of the home, looking out to greenery which acts to screen the property from neighbours. You can dine alfresco out here in complete privacy and the space is perfectly low-maintenance, ready for those with busy lifestyles.

Both bedrooms are generous double rooms with built in wardrobes and soft carpet underfoot. They are versatile rooms ideal for professional sharers, families or for couples looking for a guest room and study for working from home. The principal bedroom also benefits from a chic en suite shower room while bedroom two has easy access to the main bathroom with a rainfall shower over the bath. Both bathrooms boast a monochrome scheme with gleaming white tiles and sanitaryware paired with matt black fittings.
