1 bed Flat For Sale £260,000
**Guide Price £260,000-£270,000**
Big enough for work, rest and play, this stylish one bedroom garden apartment backs onto the leafy 28 acres of The Downs Cemetery and is good to go with a sunny living room, spacious double bedroom and streamlined fitted kitchen. An ideal first buy or investment, this quiet area of the city is popular with young professionals as Brighton General Hospital is a five minute stroll and other major employers like Amex, the universities, police station and the County Hospital are all within a 15-20 minute bus ride. At the rear of the property your large fenced section of the back garden is a blank canvas with plenty of space for table and chairs and views of a beautiful flint and brick chapel. Within walking distance of Sheepcote Valley on the Downs and the vibrant London Road shops and bars, if you need access to the airports and London, the main station and A23/A27 are easy to reach.
Enjoy life opening up again in this freshly decorated ground floor apartment within a terrace of neat period properties in an area popular for those who like to sleep but also be close to world class shopping, restaurants and theatres as well as our cosmopolitan beaches. Set back from the leafy street by a large front garden, this attractive gabled house with double glazing already installed has a path to the garden at the back as well as to a sheltering porch by the front door, which opens to a clean and tidy lobby shared by only one other apartment.
Inside, this home is bright with inviting views along the hallway to the garden, and the oak flooring continues into a spacious living room giving guests free reign. Full of sunshine, a broad bay almost fills the south wall and there is plenty of floorspace to create defined areas for seating and eating. A choice of lighting levels and a brick fireplace add character, and with both a low level brick shelf and floating shelving on each side, this room is ready for your move.
Along the hallway, two large cupboards provide deep storage as well as plumbing and power for a washing machine and freezer, and there's an easy flow into the kitchen at the far end which opens to the garden steps. Light and airy with charming views to the Victorian chapel, stylish ivory units are topped by practical working surfaces which flash silver beneath two levels of lighting. User friendly, the touch induction hob, oven and hood are central to the design, the fridge is also integrated for you and there is still space for stools for company as you cook.
Outside, the garden is fenced and broadens into the side path with designated areas for the two apartments within the house. A blank canvas, it is easy to forget how close you are to the centre of the city in this peaceful refuge which backs onto the trees, landscaped grounds and walks of The Downs Cemetery.
Returning inside, the double bedroom has garden views and a designer finish with calm decoration, fashionable carpeting and a dimmer switch. Next door, the contemporary bathroom is a classic black and white with a chic dual head shower above the bath, and thoughtful touches include a lit mirrored cabinet above the hand basin and rail over the radiator to warm your towels.
Agent says:
"This is a friendly area full of young professionals and families with an unpretentious vibe and shops, cafes and bistro pubs nearby. Tucked away from the crowds the Level, which hosts events in the arts festivals, open air market and legendary North Laine are about a 15 minute walk and local buses take you into or out of the city."
Owner's secret:
"Sunny and spacious inside it is great for entertaining, and friends love to come for bbq's in the garden. Although the location is so convenient it is very quiet, and with the universities and hospitals nearby it is also a great area for rentals."

In a popular part of our famous city stretching from the vibrant shopping and arts venues of Lewes Road to Brighton Hospital there's a lot to explore although there are plenty of local cafés, shops and bistro pubs to choose from. If you teach, local primary schools are good and within walking distance, for health professionals the hospitals are easy to reach, and the Sheepcote Valley is a social hub full of dog walkers and joggers if you are new to the area. You can picnic on the beaches of Kemptown, which has its own eclectic character and collection of amenities on offer or in Queen's Park, which has tennis courts, a pond, and café, and you can access everything this coastal city has to offer – including the universities and station serving the airports and London- on foot, by bus or by cab.
