Roundhill Crescent, Brighton BN2


Description
Guide price: £300,000--£325,000.

Internal viewings available on request.

One of Brighton's quintessential views is that of Roundhill's terraces as they form an arched crescent over the hill. This beautiful top floor, one-bedroom apartment forms part of this view as the crowning glory of a striking, Grade II listed townhouse looking out over the city. Abundant with period features and filled with natural light, this apartment also has sole access to a section of the rear garden. The décor throughout is classic with many lovely period features, yet there remains some scope for modernisation, or simply to put your own stamp on the place. The views are beautiful on both sides, taking in the city's landmarks before the sea in the south east and the hills of the South Downs to the rear. You can walk into the city and to the station from here, plus there is plenty to entertain you nearby with the North Laine less than 10-minutes away on foot. With so many positive attributes, this apartment is sure to attract many.

Why you'll like it

Roundhill Conservation Area has an air of 'cool' and a unique energy much like its hilly neighbour Hanover. It has a diverse and welcoming community with a mix of families and professionals of all ages and being just ten-minutes from the North Laine Shopping District keeps it well connected to the creative heart of this cosmopolitan coastal city. Its pretty Victorian terraces and crescents only add to this appeal, and this apartment is a real gem amongst it all.

From the moment you step into the communal ways, the scale of the building and its beautiful features become apparent. Well-maintained by the freeholder, the entrance is a welcoming space to arrive home to, and stairs lead up to your door. This opens to an internal staircase rising up to the main body of the flat which only adds to the feeling of space within. Sage green walls complement dark green stair runners and the woodwork has been picked out in white for timeless appeal.

This fresh and classic décor flows into the living room which is filled with natural light from the south east via two timber-framed, double-glazed sash windows which frame glorious views across the city. From here you can see the sea peeking through the gaps in the rooflines and church spires rising up into the open skies. Both windows have been cleverly designed to open inwards as well as up and down sashes which allows for easy cleaning and access to the window boxes on either side. There is ample space in this generous room for formal dining and relaxation, and the kitchen is conveniently next door.

As a galley kitchen, this room has been well-designed to offer plenty of storage in white cabinetry as well as on open shelves. The fridge, freezer, oven and gas hob have been integrated, leaving space for a dishwasher and a washing machine. Sharing the same orientation as the living room, the views are equally glorious.

Moving through the flat, the double bedroom is peacefully positioned to the rear of the building looking out to green garden views – again through a timber-framed, double-glazed sash window. This is a lovely double room with space for a king bed plus several pieces of freestanding bedroom furniture without compromising on floor space, and the bathroom is next door. This is an interesting, split-level room which has a modern take on a period style. A freestanding bath has a traditional rainfall shower above it with metro brick tiling on the wall behind, and the conical basin has been set into a classic wooden framed, marble topped wash stand. There is another lovely view looking over to the Racecourse from here which leads directly to the South Downs – proving how close both the coast and the countryside are from here.

From here, a door leads out to the rear porch and fire escape stairs which step down to the garden. This appears to be a shared space, but this flat has sole access to the end of the garden by the original flint and brick wall. It has an area of lawn and receives plenty of sunshine right through the day due to its position, so it would be a lovely spot to sit out for dining alfresco or for planting flowers or a kitchen garden which will thrive.
There is also a large, boarded loft space above the flat which has potential for conversion, although being Grade II listed and within a conservation area, this would need to conform to strict planning guidelines.

Agent's thoughts:

Bright, spacious and brilliantly located within the city, this apartment is an attractive option for professionals, investors and first-time buyers. There will be an option to buy a share of the freehold within the coming months too.

Owner's secret
