1 bed Flat For Sale £250,000
Internal viewings available on request.
Peacefully positioned on a quiet residential road to the east of Fiveways, with Hollingbury Woods and Golf Course just a few minutes away on foot, this well-presented, one-bedroom patio flat is a real gem. You can walk into the city from here, or there is a bus stop nearby, and there is a lovely sense of community to the area. Inside, the flat has retained many period features which have been combined with a stylish palette, so it is ready to move straight into or let out immediately with ease. To the front, the garden is lush and green forming a leafy backdrop to the living room, while to the rear, a sweet patio offers a welcoming outside space with room for dining alfresco in the afternoon sunshine.
With so many positive attributes, this property would suit investors or first-time buyers looking for a balanced lifestyle between the buzz of the city and the peace of the countryside.
Style: Ground floor Edwardian conversion apartment
Type: 1 bedroom, 1 living room, 1 bathroom, 1 kitchen
Location: Hollingdean/Fiveways
Floor Area: 450sq.ft
Outside: Planted front garden, west facing rear patio
Parking: Free on street
Why you'll love it:
For several years now, Hollingdean's popularity has grown exponentially as more people
move here from the city centre looking for homes with more space, surrounded by
greenery and with that illusive free parking! Unlike the city's other residential areas, it does
not feel on the outskirts, as it remains a fantastic location for shops, stations, and transport
links. There's a vibrant art scene with several houses mapped on The Open House trail
during the Brighton Festival, and there are often community events held in the park during
the summer.
This apartment is formed from the raised ground floor of a house on the westerly side of the road close to Fiveways. Built into the hillside gives it a raised front elevation
which adds to its sense of privacy from within, and the façade has the archetypal features of the period with hung tiles and wide box-bay windows. Stone steps lead up to the front door which is shared by just one other apartment, and from the communal hall you step directly into the living room.
Far more spacious than expected, the ceiling is high, and the room is filled with natural light as the double-glazed sash windows almost cover the easterly wall. Stylish charcoal grey has been used below the picture rail with the ceiling and period fire surround picked out in white, and the original wooden floors have been retained. There is space in here for relaxation and dining, and the fireplace is open to add extra warmth and atmosphere to wintery evenings.
Next door, the bedroom shares the same proportions but has emerald green walls, includes a fireplace and has a peaceful outlook over the rear patio garden. There is space within the alcoves for freestanding bedroom furnishings, and even with a king size bed, the floor space is not compromised.
Along the hall, you pass deep under stairs storage as you come to the kitchen which is a great size with room for a kitchen table and chairs. It has a 'modern-country' feel with solid oak worktops and a butler sink, and while the oven and hob have been integrated, the fridge freezer and washing machine are freestanding. These, and many of the furnishings throughout the flat, can be negotiable with the sale.
There is a vestibule between the kitchen and the bathroom where there is further storage and access to the garden. Out here, the original brick and flint wall forms an attractive backdrop and there is ample space for a table and chairs for dining outside. The space may be bijou, but it can be decorated with colourful pots and plants to create a low maintenance yet welcoming space for sitting outside during the warmer seasons.
Finally, the bathroom sits at the far end of the property with classic stone tiles on the walls and floor and has an electric shower over the bath.
Agent's thoughts:
This is a great flat for first time buyers as you can move straight in, yet there is also scope for further modernisation to add value or simply to put your own stamp on the place.
Owner's secret:
"I moved here five-years ago and have found it to be a wonderful area to live in with a real sense of community and the neighbours are lovely. I have enjoyed taking walks in the countryside nearby, but equally have found access to the city really quick and easy; both on foot or by bus. I'm looking for that next step up the ladder now, but I will miss it here."
