The vibrant al fresco lifestyle of Fiveways Village provides a chic backdrop for this fabulous two bedroom apartment with an easy flow, bright spacious rooms and pretty wrought iron balcony with oblique sea views. Spanning the top – 1st floor- of a glorious semi-detached Victorian Villa which has the generous proportions, elegance and sunny east/west orientation for which Brighton's historic homes are famous; the stylish interior seamlessly blending beautiful period features with an open plan, metropolitan lifestyle. Ideal for young couples, investors and professionals who may wish to share or work from home, both double bedrooms are quiet at the back and don't share a wall, and the bathroom and separate w.c. Are freshly decorated. The perfect place for friends to meet now that life is opening up again just 10 minutes from the sea and city centre, the location is hard to beat with plentiful permit parking, a choice of bus routes into or out of the city, swift access to the A27 and A23 and if you enjoy the great outdoors, the sports facilities of Preston Park and countryside of Hollingbury Park and Woods are both within easy walking distance.

Parking: Permit zone J, no waiting list
Why you'll like it:
On a road linking the sea to the countryside with the whole of the city easy to reach on foot, by bus or by cab, this airy apartment is a great find in a sought after location where stately Victorian terraces provide light and elegant homes, and fashionable Fiveways ensures you are never far from fresh coffee or a croissant. Set well back from the street with real charm from the kerb, big bay windows (now double glazed), intricate friezes and a delicately wrought iron balcony face west for the afternoon sun and a tiled path leads past a pretty front garden to an impressive front door. Inside, the communal hallway is clearly cared for with period features.
Ahead, the apartment opens to a private staircase at the top of which a long hallway spreads its wings from front to back giving an immediate feeling of space, and it has large cupboards as well as access to an enormous attic, which as the freehold of the property is only shared by the neighbour downstairs, may well give food for thought. (STC).
Light streams through the big bay window of a graceful living room which stretches the full width of this substantial Victorian Villa, and a glazed door opens to the petite balcony, ideal for friends to spill out to and enjoy the glittering glimpse of sea at the bottom of the hill whilst watching for others to arrive. Inside, the majestic proportions are instantly restful, period coving adorns a high ceiling and a beautiful fireplace with particularly attractive floral tiles and a bird embossed iron inset has streamlined shelving to one side.
Tucked carefully away behind a peninsular island, the sociable kitchen is a study of skilful efficiency, well organised with everything to hand from a central integrated gas hob and electric oven beneath a discreet hood, whilst the shape allows for maximum working surfaces and stylish units as well as plumbing for both a dishwasher and washing machine – and thoughtful undercounter shelves for books, herbs and wine are incorporated into the dining area.
At the back, an inviting double bedroom is ready to move into with lofty dimensions, calm decoration and a fitted wardrobe. There is plenty of floorspace here even with a king size double bed, and the bedroom also enjoys complete privacy, as it looks across back gardens.
Central to the apartment, the newly decorated soft blue bathroom is large enough for both a bath with a multi-functional shower attachment and a separate corner shower, which has an eco sensitive, soft water shower, and the luxury hand basin is also newly installed. Always useful in a busy household or when entertaining guests/private clients, the adjacent w.c. – also painted soft blue - has natural light and its own basin.
Comfortably secluded on the landing at the top of the stairs, convenient for guests or those who work unusual hours as they can come and go without disturbing the main apartment, the second, big bedroom could also be a quiet place in which to work from home with plenty of period character of its own, and a rare bay window adding extra floorspace as well as framing glorious open views across the valley to the surrounding downs.

Owner's secret:
It was love at first sight! The period features add delightful focus points to the elegant rooms with their classically high ceilings, and the alcoves providing interesting spaces as well as room for storage. There is a perfect balance of a sociable open plan reception, quiet main bedroom and comfortable study with lovely views at the back to inspire reflection and creativity - but also welcome friends to stay! Being high up, all of the rooms feel very private. In the mornings, light streams into the tranquil study (or second bedroom, while - all afternoon until sunset - light pours into the open plan reception area. We have lived here for 14 years and, although moving to a place with a garden, we will stay in this location as it bridges a city/rural lifestyle with ease; there is so much on offer from walks in the woods or days on the beach to the sports facilities and festivals in Preston Park, and in the evenings, you won't need to use the car to go to the restaurants and theatres of the city, as can walk or bus everywhere."
