Why you’ll like it:
Tree-lined and flanked by attractive period homes, Balfour Road rises up from Preston Park to Hollingbury Park on Ditchling Road. This property sits within a unique double fronted Edwardian house at the lower end, with this one-bedroom flat sitting to the rear of the building enjoying sole use of the generous rear garden. It has been beautifully maintained by the current owner who has fully redecorated the space and replaced all the double-glazed windows and the glazed rear door.
Stepping inside, there is a useful entrance hall with space for hanging coats and organising shoes. Directly ahead, a bi-fold timber door opens to the living room which is naturally light with views looking out to the garden. It is open plan creating a sociable space with a breakfast bar formed from an arm of the kitchen which could be ideal for use as a work space if needed. Elsewhere in the room there is space for a sofa and a dining table and chairs, and the decoration is on trend with deep olive-green walls and light laminate flooring. There is plenty of storage within the kitchen in modern white cabinetry, paired with wood effect worktops to echo the floor. While the oven and gas hob are integrated, space has been left for a washing machine and a tall fridge freezer. This room is part of a rear extension without neighbours above it or on either side, so it is ultimately peaceful too.
Outside, wide timber steps rise up to the garden which sits on the upper level with views over the rooftops to the south and west. From this elevated position, the sun sits on the large decked garden until it sets during the summer creating a fantastic space for seasonal entertaining. Mature planting on either side ensures it does not feel overlooked and contemporary fencing adds interest while providing a useful wall for climbing plants. There would be ample room up here to build a garden office if need be without compromising on social space while adding considerable value to the property. On either side of the stairs there are sloped beds for planting to bring colour and scents to the space while also forming a lovely backdrop to the living room.
The bedroom is a fantastic size double with a wall of traditional style built-in wardrobes which maximise the floor space further still. The views are private looking out to the garden, so a gentle light filters in from the east during the morning to wake you. The bathroom is nearby with sandy wall and floor tiles, a modern hand basin inlaid to a timber vanity unit and a shower over a full bath suite.
Agent’s thoughts:
This is a fantastic property with a generous garden, set in a highly sought-after location, so it is bound to get snapped up.
Owner’s secret:
“It was the garden which sold the property to us when we bought it as it more than doubles the entertaining space during summer and it is a real suntrap too. It’s incredibly peaceful both inside the flat and out, yet you are really well-connected to the city for a night out. That said, there are some amazing gastropubs nearby such as the Preston Park Tavern and The Park View. Having Preston Pak on your doorstep is also great – particularly during the spring and summer when events are held there.”
