Beautifully renovated and peacefully positioned within the leafy environs of Surrenden, this two-bedroom apartment is a real gem. It is formed from the entire ground floor of a substantial, semi-detached Edwardian house which was converted into three luxurious apartments, all with a Share of the Freehold. The interior décor is stylish and immaculate to include contemporary fittings which sit perfectly alongside the building's original period features. The rooms are well-proportioned and naturally light due to large bay windows on both the east and westerly walls which frame exceptional views over Preston Valley to the rear. Within catchment sit some of the city's most sought-after schools and colleges, and for commuters, Preston Park Station is an easy stroll. Transport links and local amenities are also excellent, and you can hop on a bus or walk into the city with ease, so this property will appeal to many.

Why you'll like it
Surrenden Road sweeps north from Preston Park with mature trees and substantial properties lining either side. It is undoubtedly one of the most prestigious enclaves within the city, and this property sits in its midst; half-way up the road on the western side.
Built in the early years of the 20th Century, the house is classically Edwardian with ornate brickwork and a beamed gable. The house is set well back from the road behind a front garden and the original tiled path then through the main front door and communal hallway which is shared by just one other.
Once inside, the quality of renovation is immediately clear, and the scale of the property is evident. High ceilings, crisp white walls and engineered wood flooring flow along the corridor and into the open plan kitchen and living room at the far end, and natural light streams in from both directions.
To the front, the master bedroom has gracious proportions with classic period features to include picture rails and deep skirting boards. There is soft, grey carpet underfoot to complement the sage-grey walls and even with a king size bed and several pieces of freestanding furniture, the floor space is not compromised. Almost filling the easterly wall, the box bay window has secondary glazing to comply with conservation area requirements, but also give a huge amount of both heat and sound insulation. Being set back from the road behind a front garden and hedge also provides complete privacy from within.
Along the hall, the modern bathroom has both floor and wall tiles in contrasting natural stone shades. The shower is over the bath with both a rainfall head and a handheld wand, and a backlit LED mirror sits over the basin and vanity unit.
Next door, bedroom two is currently set up as a child's bedroom, although it would have space for a small double bed to appeal to sharers. Again, the decoration is pristine in white and soft-grey, and dual aspect sash windows look out over the green and leafy neighbouring gardens.
Beautifully bright and spacious, the main reception room sits at the far end of the flat with far-reaching views to the west which seem to open the space up even further. To divide the room visually, the kitchen has engineered flooring while there is carpet in the living room area, and there is ample space for formal dining too. The kitchen has been well designed utilising the alcoves to provide plenty of storage space within white gloss, handle-free units and the slim-line dishwasher, fridge freezer, oven and induction hob have been integrated. The washer-dryer has its own built-in cupboard in bedroom two.
For relaxation, there is space for large, comfortable sofas and chairs from which you can enjoy the gorgeous views across the city which stretch for miles below big, open skies. The abundance of trees within Preston Valley ensures this view is ever-changing with the seasons and the afternoon light and sunsets are incredible. During winter, you can cosy up by the open fire which sits within the original period surround, and during summer, you have both Preston and Withdean Parks on your doorstep should you need to stretch your legs.
Agent's thoughts:
This property has been beautifully renovated being careful to retain the proportions and features of the original building. The views are incredible, and the area will appeal to so many as it is both quiet and well-connected.
Owner's secret
"We bought the flat six years ago it needed a huge amount of work, but we couldn't be happier with the results. It has been an amazing place to entertain friends and we love the area as there is so much to entertain you within walking distance. We have started a family now so we are looking for a bigger place now, but we will miss it here."
