2 bed Flat For Sale £485,000
Dukes Lane, Brighton BN1

Get ready to party in this sophisticated two bedroom maisonette with a south facing terrace for basking in the Sussex sunshine and a private balcony with exclusive views over one of the chic pedestrian lanes our international coastal metropolis is famous for. Properties in the prestigious South Lanes rarely come to the market and almost unheard of in this prime location within this discreet development in Brighton's historic centre. Ideal as a home, investment or lock up and leave less than 400 yards from the seafront with the station to the airports and London easy to reach, the fabulous open plan design adds the wow factor to a living area 27' deep, and upstairs both bedrooms are light, airy doubles with fitted storage.

Surrounded by chic shopping, international restaurants, fashionable bars and glamorous arts venues this is an electrifying part of our glittering party resort – but at the heart of the pedestrian Georgian (South) Lanes you can enjoy the graceful Regency architecture and unique atmosphere of this famous historic city without traffic, too.

Tucked away with potential to rent a space in the secure access gated car park, this secret refuge is on the first floor above commercial premises, reached via shared stairs. This small terrace of homes is set back from a common path by broad south facing terraces, each with their own character and with delineated space to enjoy the sunshine.

Inside, the fabulous open plan interior has crisp contemporary lines, limed oak effect flooring and spot lit ceiling. With scope to create defined areas for entertaining, French doors lead to a Juliette balcony to look out across the unique atmosphere of this exciting, central location – in private. Right on trend, the designer kitchen at the far end is tucked away from the social flow behind a peninsular island which invites company, and streamlined units have high spec appliances including a sleek electric hob, fan oven and hood, so you are good to go.

Upstairs, both of the double bedrooms are good sizes – important if you are sharing or inviting guests for a weekend- and are ready for your move with simple but stylish Scandi influenced décor. Both have fitted storage already in place for you, and there is a luxury bathroom at the top of the stairs with an overhead shower and flawless finish.
