Why you'll like it:

This big, ground floor apartment offers easy access to cosmopolitan shopping, bars and theatres but has restful open views over leafy grounds and communal parking – and with two sites nearby you can probably keep an eye on your car. With a level entrance and double glazing throughout the duplex, inside is welcoming at any time of day with sensor lighting and the door to this sunny home is on the ground floor to the right.

The streamlined hallway is lined with tall, discreet storage so that should not be an issue, and as a modern build, it is also well insulated and notably quiet. Ahead, the spacious living room has a big box bay in the west wall so it is full of sunlight and there is ample scope to zone the room into defined areas for entertaining – for example, the current owners have their dining table by the window so guests can enjoy the view.

Next door, the kitchen has a cosmopolitan flavour with French style tiles, plenty of blonde units with practical surfaces and it is ready for use with a gas hob, electric grill and oven integrated for you. To help you to get started, the vendors are willing to discuss the white goods, including a fridge freezer, microwave and washing machine.

Quiet and calm with lots of floorspace even with a double bed in it, the master bedroom has a wall of floor to ceiling wardrobes offering all the clothes space you could wish for and next door, guests will love the walk in closet of the second bedroom, which is also a generous size if you wanted to share or work from home in comfort.
Across the hallway, a separate w.c. Is always a useful feature and by it the bathroom has natural light and a vintage lemon suite, although there is nothing old fashioned about the Triton Hawaii 2 shower above it.

Agent says:

"This great package is within minutes the city, a station and the A23/A27 for the universities, Amex Stadium, Gatwick and London, and as there's also rare onsite parking, it will not be on the market for long."

Owner's secret:

"This is a friendly complex which is within easy reach of the sea as well as sports facilities at Preston Park -and it is very nice to return to trees and the quiet at the end of the day."

What's around you:

This is an exclusive location within minutes of international shopping, restaurants, cinemas, bistro pubs and the beach.

Close to Preston Park with its running routes, tennis courts and open green spaces which host famous events during festivals, the commercial districts and cultural heart of Brighton & Hove are easy to reach by bus or cab.
