This sizable two-bedroom apartment resides in one of the city's most prestigious areas, in the leafy suburb to the east of Dyke Road. It is formed from the entire first floor of a substantial Edwardian house, so it enjoys the generous proportions, wide box-bay windows and high ceilings that the period affords. It is well-presented throughout with a smart neutral décor and has been well-maintained as a rental apartment, yet there is plenty of scope for modernisation or to simply add your own stamp on the place. Preston Park Station is just a couple of minutes away on foot, and there are several local shops and amenities, while Seven Dials is also a stroll down the hill. With so many attractive features, it is sure to attract first time buyers, professional sharers and investors alike.

Why you'll like it

The terraces of Matlock and Tivoli lie on the border between Brighton and Hove; equidistant from the City Centre and the South Downs National Park. The family friendly community, commuter links and the proximity to several popular parks and schools have drawn people here for many years now, making it one of the most sought-after areas to live in the city.

Attractive on approach, the house sits elevated from the street in the dappled shade of a neighbouring cherry blossom tree and has the architectural features of the period to include hung tiles on its gable. The communal ways are shared by just one other flat, with the door to the first floor directly ahead. This opens to an internal staircase which adds to the sense of space within.
From the galleried landing, the kitchen and living room span the front of the property and while separate, they are easily accessible from one another. Bijou but perfectly formed, the kitchen offers storage at both base and wall levels plus additional space for freestanding appliances such as a cooker, washing machine and a fridge freezer.

With a box bay window almost covering the easterly wall, the living room is naturally light and airy. There is ample space for both dining and relaxation and some period features remain including picture rails, deep skirting boards and a fire surround. Grey carpets and white walls brighten the room further, and these continue into bedroom one next door.

Peacefully positioned to the rear of the building, the main bedroom looks out via a sash window to the neighbouring gardens which are green and leafy. Facing west, a warming afternoon light filters in, and there is plenty of space for a king size bed and freestanding furnishings.
Bedroom two sits at the rear of the flat and is another double room with a built-in cupboard and tranquil garden views. Between the two rooms, the bathroom is fresh in white with a shower over the bath, and the WC is nicely separate – ideal for guests or sharers.

Agent's thoughts:

This is a great property for those looking for a sound investment in the city, but also for first time buyers and professionals who need to be close to the station. From Preston Park Station, there are a couple fast trains per hour which take you into London Victoria in just a touch over an hour.
