Why you’ll like it:
Tivoli is one of the newer apartment buildings surrounding Tower House; the substantial Victorian mansion house standing at the centre of this development. While these surrounding buildings are younger by decades, they have been sympathetically designed to blend in well within their leafy environs. This generous one-bedroom apartment sits on the first floor, accessed by and entry phone system, through well-maintained communal corridors and stairwells.
You are welcomed into a wide and well-lit corridor with space for hanging coats and organising shoes. It is clear this flat has been well maintained with a smart neutral decoration in shades of cream and white complemented by fawn carpets in the principal rooms.
The bedroom sits at this end of the flat, away from the main living area with a double-glazed casement window looking out to tranquil, green surroundings. Facing east, the light is glorious first thing, to gently wake you during the summer months. It is a lovely double room with space for a king size bed and freestanding furnishings, although there is further built-in storage within the hallway outside should you need more. The bathroom is conveniently next door with a classic decoration in turquoise and white with a shower over the bath.
Mirroring these rooms, the kitchen and living room are adjoining at the other side of the flat. Bright and naturally spacious, there are clearly defined areas in the wide L-shaped living room for formal dining, relaxation and for a desk area should you need to work from home. There would also be space for a small table in the kitchen for informal meals or drinks and both rooms share the sunny easterly aspect with open views over the local landscape. The kitchen benefits from plenty of storage and an integrated oven with hob, leaving space for a tall fridge freezer and a washing machine, plus one other appliance under the counter – be that a dishwasher or separate freezer.
Agent’s thoughts:
These apartments are incredibly popular due to the close proximity of Preston Park Station, yet they sit in peaceful surroundings. Simply modernising in both the kitchen and bathroom would add value and allow new owners to put their own stamp on the place – yet all fittings are in fine fettle and fully functioning allowing you to move straight in with ease.
Owner’s thoughts:
“This has been a successful rental property for me. These apartments are incredibly quiet and there is a lovely sense of community in Towergate. The location is great for transport links, and you can jump on the train at Preston Park Station and be in Central Brighton in just 4 minutes! It is for these reasons the flat has never sat empty, so it is a wrench to let it go.”
