Why you’ll like it:
Originally an electrical pump house, built c. 1924, this apartment bears the industrial architectural features of the era with over-sized, multi-pane windows and generous proportions. Converted in 2000, this apartment is one of just eight in the building, yet it holds the best position with a direct line of sight from its reception room to the green of Preston Park.

There is on-site parking and a garage which is a great size for a larger car or ideal as storage. You approach the building to the rear where a neat communal hallway leads to your door on the ground floor.

From the moment you enter it is clear this is a well-maintained and stylish apartment. Wood flooring and white walls greet you in the entrance hall where there are deep storage cupboards for your household items and coats etc.

Dual aspect and spanning the depth of the building, the main reception is naturally light with views of mature trees from every window. These are double glazed with stylish charcoal window frames for a chic-industrial finish – a look which is on-trend in the current world of interiors. There is ample space for formal dining, relaxation and working from home in here, and the kitchen is conveniently next door.

Modern white units run along three sides with slate flooring and ruby-red, metro-brick splash-backs adding a pop of colour. While the slim-line dishwasher, washing machine, fan oven, gas hob and extractor fan have been integrated, space has been left for a tall fridge freezer, and there are plenty of storage solutions for food and crockery and pans etc.

Peacefully positioned to the rear of the building, the bedrooms are both very generous doubles with views on all sides filled by the mature trees surrounding the property. This gives the impression of tree house living and is a joy to wake up to each morning while also being very private. The master has a wall of built-in wardrobes while the second room has space for freestanding furniture, and even with king size beds, the floor space is not compromised.
Easily accessible from both, the bathroom sits across the hall and is classically decorated in white with slate floor tiles. The contemporary suite has a shower over the bath and a vanity unit below the basin, and while it is an internal room, it is well-lit and ventilated.

The areas surrounding Preston Park remain well connected to the city and beyond by train, bus, car and on foot. It is surrounded by greenery and both Hove Park and Withdean Park are also within walking distance giving you the best of both worlds. The city centre shopping districts and the beach are within easy reach, and this spacious flat also offers easy access to the A27/A23 as well as Preston Park Station with its regular, fast links to the universities airports and London.
