As the crowning glory of an elegant Victorian house overlooking Preston Park, this stylish one-bedroom apartment enjoys views right across the city to the south. As with many houses in the area, this one has a pretty balcony within its gable, so this property has sole access, giving it a valuable piece of outdoor space with a southerly aspect. Inside, the decoration is immaculate with many integrated appliances and a contemporary finish, so you can move straight in or let it out immediately with ease. From both sides, the views are far-reaching and private with an array of trees and greenery making it hard to believe you are just 25 minutes on foot from the City Centre.
There are several local amenities too and both Preston Park and its station are on your doorstep, meaning this beautiful apartment would be the perfect purchase for investors, commuters and first-time buyers alike.
Style: Top floor flat in a Victorian townhouse
Type: 1 double bedroom, 1 living room, 1 kitchen, 1 bathroom
Location: Preston Park Conservation Area
Floor Area: 521 sq.ft
Outside space: South facing balcony
Parking: Permit zone J – or free in surrounding streets
Why you'll like it:
Hugely attractive on approach, the grand homes of Preston Drove stand out in red brick with their architectural features picked out in white and their decorative, gabled balconies. Formed from the entire top floor, this property is accessed via a recently redecorated and well-maintained communal hallway with stairs leading up to your door. This opens to an internal stairwell which adds to the feeling of space within the apartment and has gorgeous views over Preston Valley to the north which are ever-changing with the seasons.
On the landing there are deep storage cupboards for household items and there is access to the loft space for further storage, so the flat remains clutter free. Directly ahead, the kitchen has been well-designed for the space to include a Smeg washing machine and dishwasher, plus an integrated oven, electric hob, fridge freezer and a breakfast bar. There is plenty of storage at both base and wall levels and the vinyl flooring and splashbacks offer a welcome pop of modern colour.
Next door, the living room feels light and spacious with a high vaulted ceiling and ample room for formal dining and relaxed seating. The door leading out to the balcony was refurbished only recently to conservation area standards, and being fully glazed, it frames views across the green of Preston Park's velodrome to the iconic roofline of Brighton Station and the city's newest landmark the i360 rising high into the sky. During the summer, there is space to sit out on the balcony watching the world go by or cricket matches on the green with a drink or a meal, and it is a private spot for sunbathing too.
To the rear of the building, the bedroom is a lovely double room with space for a bed and freestanding furnishings without compromising on floor space. It is lovely and cool in here during the warmer seasons as it faces north and is incredibly peaceful being elevated within the building. Conveniently next door, the shower room shares the same quality floor vinyl as the kitchen and has a tall shower cubicle and a heated rail for towels.
This is a fantastic property in a highly sought-after location, so it is bound to get snapped up.
Agent's thoughts:
Beautifully renovated throughout with a high spec finish, stunning views and outside space– this is a very attractive property which will appeal to many – particularly as the location is so convenient.
Owner's secret:
"We have loved living here for the last four-years and we were immediately taken by the lovely views and the feeling of space in the flat – particularly within the entrance hall and the living room. The balcony is such a lovely feature of this flat as it becomes an extension of the living room during the summer months. The views from both sides are lovely at all times of the year, and while it is really green and quiet here, you are still within walking distance of everything the city has to offer."
