In a fabulous location with the café, duck pond and tennis courts of Queen’s Park just a few doors up, this chic one bedroom ground floor apartment with a private south west facing decked sociable layout is an ideal first buy. With a generous 34.65m2 (372.96 sq. ft.) of light-filled rooms it is perfect for professionals or investors as this area is a great place to be. It is situated within a 10 minute walk of The Royal Pavilion, the County Hospital, Amex, the sea and a new Lido on the beach. The local area boasts an array of local cafes, shops and pubs. With great venues in Kemptown and Hanover being on your door step. And Brighton Station’s direct trains to Gatwick and London are a 20 minute walk away or 15 minutes by bus or an eight minute taxi ride.


Inside, this stylish retreat blends restful period proportion with a sleek, contemporary finish which includes plantation shutters. The French doors in the spacious living/dining room open out to the attractive decked area where guests can enjoy some outside space and sunshine. The kitchen is well planned with a streamlined finish, as does the light, airy bathroom, and the bedroom is a comfortable large king sized bedroom. Tucked away from the madding crowd, you’ll find a weekly farmer’s market by the famous Pepper Pot located in the sought after conservation area of Queen’s Park, which is just a few minutes walk away from the picturesque heart of our city. Due to the substantial improvements taking place on the seafront, now couldn’t be a better time to buy.

Radiating charm, all improvements to this Victorian home have been sensitive and the flat is clearly cared for. The communal hallway is shared by only one other flat. The street is both family and couple friendly, with great neighbours and a real community spirit.

Inside the apartment, the hall has generous storage and laminate flooring continuing into the living/dining room for a fuss free in/out flow. With 3.22m x 3.0m (10’6 x 9’10) in which to work, rest or play, this inviting room has a cheerful west orientation and plenty of space for company, and the sophisticated finish includes a steel, ‘pebbled’ fireplace and floating shelving.

The French doors bring in the afternoon sunshine and open out to the walled patio, which becomes another room during summer with built in seating for guests.

The stylish kitchen is well-planned with ample storage, a sensible layout and plenty of practical working surfaces. Galley in name but not by nature, a gas hob and electric oven are beneath a lit hood. There is plumbing for a washing machine and a designated space for a tall fridge freezer (which can be included if desired). The Combi boiler is only two years into its 10 year guarantee.

As is usual in these Victorian homes, the bathroom is at the far end of the kitchen, and benefits from a brand new flat roof and a re-plastered ceiling.

A calm and comfortable retreat, the bedroom of 3.64m x 3.38m (11’11 x 11’1) is big and bright, looking east for the morning sunshine.
