Why you'll like it

Ditchling Rise feels quintessentially 'Brighton' due to its hilly position; lined with trees and flanked by Victorian terraced houses. This apartment resides on the upper floors of a townhouse at the top of the hill, so it benefits from views across the city towards Brighton Station which is just 10 minutes away on foot. London Road Station is even closer, with university and city centre links, and there are several busses which stop at the top of the road, so you needn't do the hike back home.

Sharing the communal entrance hall with just one other, you take an internal staircase into the main body of the flat which adds to the feeling of space within. It is immediately clear the property has been renovated by those with an eye for quality materials and workmanship, and the space has been maximised throughout. Wooden floors have been paired with white walls which flow from the hallway and into the principal rooms on both floors.

Spanning the front of the property, the reception is open plan to the kitchen but has ample room for formal dining, relaxation and entertaining with space for a table and chair within the bay. As a south facing room, it is gloriously bright, and a mature tree outside allows for some privacy without obstructing the far-reaching views.

Running along the easterly wall, the kitchen has been well-designed, so it doesn't dominate the room but blends in, with streamlined, handle-free units in delicate dove-grey. Within these the fridge, microwave, fan oven and gas hob have been integrated, allowing for plenty of storage too, and the sink has been seamlessly cut-in to the white marble effect quartz worktop.

Moving through the flat to the rear of the building, there are two lovely double bedrooms with views over the local landscape and neighbouring gardens to the rear. These are fine size double rooms with space for king/double beds and freestanding bedroom furnishings, and their peaceful position in the building ensures you will always get a restful night's sleep.
Between the two, the bathroom is chic with slate wall tiles around a contemporary bath suite with a shower over it.

A flight of stairs leads up to the loft room which is currently being used as an occasional third bedroom. This is another beautiful room with wooden floors and white walls, and two Velux windows bring in natural light and views taking you even further over the city skyline. This would be the ideal space for a home office too as it is so peaceful up here. There is also a generous eaves storage space which doubles up as a utility cupboard with space and plumbing for the washing machine and dryer.

Agent's thoughts:

This is a stunning apartment which is ready to move straight into or let out immediately with ease. It is bright, spacious and versatile, so it is sure to be snapped up.

Owner's secret

'It was the space and light which first attracted us to the property, and we have enjoyed making it our own. We have loved living here as you are so well-connected to explore the city, yet it is incredibly quiet too. We walk everywhere, and with the newly regenerated Preston Circus on our doorstep, and the Signalman just down the hill, we rarely need to venture any further into town.'
