A ground floor gem and ideal first buy or investment, this one bedroom apartment has petite but precious outside space and informal access to a communal garden. Inside, a sunny living room has a ceiling which soars to over 3.3m and a trap door lifts to reveal a large, light cellar. Tucked away in a quiet but convenient location with plentiful permit parking, you can switch off and relax in a spacious double bedroom which is ready to move into and both the kitchen and bathroom have had stylish makeovers in 2017 – so it is good to go! In an impressive Victorian double fronted house, it was once a corner shop in an ever popular area of our city still known for its community feel and local park which has tennis courts, a café, playground and open air theatre which offers events during festivals. These attractive homes in a good school catchment area are also within a 15 minute walk of Brighton Station as well as the al fresco lifestyle of the 7 Dials and vibrant North Laine – and apartments here do not appear on the market often.

Why you’’ll like it:
This sought after conservation area attracts professionals who work in the city or commute as it is well connected to Brighton’s major employers and the station serving Gatwick and London, but quiet at night. In a peaceful enclave of well-kept period terraces, this substantial end of terraced house is double fronted with energy efficient windows already in place, and an original tiled pathway leads past the small seating area which comes with this apartment to an impressive entrance.
In the communal hallway, the character of the building has been kept with intricate plasterwork overhead, and this bright and cheerful home spans the full depth of one side of the building. Inside, a gleaming parquet floor in the hall leads to intriguing glimpses of the garden at the back whilst at the front, semi - circular steps to take you down into the inviting living/dining room.
Full of sunlight in the day with a choice of lighting level at night, the living/dining room is instantly restful with plenty of space to grow into, and is dual aspect with a broad bay almost filling the front wall to frame the tree lined street. The ceiling soars high overhead, subtle storage keeps the space uncluttered and beneath your feet, a trap door opens to the private staircase to the big bright cellar, currently used as a space in which to work from home/music room and occasional, unofficial guest room – but there is scope to make this a second bedroom, STC.
Returning upstairs, the generous double bedroom looks east for the morning sunshine. Simple but stylish with lush thick carpet it is not overlooked – a rare treat in this historic area- and as you will see, there is ample floorspace for a double bed and double wardrobe, and even space for more. Next door, the luxury shower room is a classic black and white with natural light, and offers discreet indulgence with a dual head shower system, a sleek handbasin on a vanity unit and a sculptural steel rail to heat your towels.
At the end of the hallway by the back door to the garden, the kitchen is light and airy with windows in two walls. Well planned with units along three walls topped by practical working surfaces, everything flows from the sleek touch induction hob and oven beneath a hood. Good to go, there is designated space and power for an undercounter fridge as well as a dishwasher and washing machine.
Outside, the seating area on the front corner conveys with the apartment and is a blank canvas which could be made more of – although your inner designer would have to bear in mind that you are in a conservation area, and at the back the large garden is currently shared and cared for by all of the residents with the informal consent of the freeholder.
Agent says:
“Quiet but convenient, this peaceful enclave of pretty period terraces have good transport links in or out of the city and there is a friendly community here as these homes don’t come onto the market very often – and sell fast.”
Owner’s secret:
“The location suits a busy lifestyle, but you’ll return to peace and quiet – and our friendly neighbours who we shall miss. We have enjoyed the bright rooms here which give easy space to relax, work or entertain, and the local park has an outdoor theatre in the summer as well as tennis courts, a café and a playground for visiting nephews and nieces. There are local shops, a café and bistro pub so you won’t feel isolated if you are new to the city, and the relaxed vibe of 7 Dials and the station are both within a 15 minute radius on foot. We hope that you will enjoy it here as much as we have.”
