2 bed Flat For Sale £400,000
St. Martins Place, Brighton, East Sussex, BN2

Tucked away in a fabulous, fashionable location this contemporary two bedroom apartment has a balcony looking over huge, neighbouring gardens - and immaculate inside it is raring to go as a very chic buy or stylish investment /air B&B. Inside offers sophisticated open plan living where a wall of glass opens to a big balcony for friends to spill out to and a streamlined kitchen is fully equipped with high end appliances. Bright and spacious, the layout is perfect for sharers with a central, luxury bathroom and the two double bedrooms do not share a wall. Once in this quiet, one way lane it is hard to believe it is just a walk away from the beating heart of the vibrant Lewes Road shopping district, its eclectic mix of exotic street food from around the globe, shops, independent boutiques and fresh produce a magnet for locals. Surrounded by restaurants and bars with the Level’s open green spaces providing events during festivals around the corner, this location has a great buzz (out of hearing!) and almost 24 hour access to Brighton Station which serves Gatwick and London.

With a prime location, this contemporary build with energy efficient windows was designed for privacy, security and comfort. At the bend of a one way lane with a low level bike hub and advice space to enable people to mend/sell cycles open Tuesday to Saturday 11am -5/6pm at the front, and large communal gardens of the neighbouring blocks at the back, this apartment is far quieter than its chic position would suggest – and the rear balcony has space for fume free, central city dining!

Inside, the hushed hallway has two cupboards for organised storage whilst fresh decoration, crisp lines of oak flooring and contemporary doors introduce you to the designer finish of this fabulous find. Ahead, sunlight streams through the open plan living room which sweeps out to a spacious balcony where friends can enjoy 3.66m x 1.48m (12’ x 4’10) of private outside space which looks over a sea of green, so they won’t feel hemmed in. Inside, 7.12m x 3.99m (14’10 x 13’1) invites company with a classic combination of oak underfoot, white walls and spotlights to deliver a stylish, current lifestyle. Sociable but not dominant the sleek, streamlined kitchen is well organised and high spec integrated appliances include a touch induction hob, electric oven and dishwasher.

Central to the apartment, a luxury bathroom has a glamorous VIP attitude with a dual head shower above the bath and across the hall, the principal bedroom is a restful haven of dual aspect with inspiring, leafy views and space in which to work from home. Spacious and serene, the guest room is a comfortable and quiet refuge, private within the apartment at the end of the hallway. There is plenty of space for fitted wardrobes whilst calm decoration keeps the focus on the surprisingly open views, so you won’t need to change a thing.

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 tourists the Level, which hosts events in the arts festivals, open air market and legendary North Laine are a short walk and local buses take you straight into or out of the city, so houses here do not come on the market often and sell fast.”

Owner’s secret:
“Everything you need including the station to London and buses to every part of the city and to the universities are on the doorstep, so you won’t need a car. There is something for everyone, no matter what you are into and all of the shops and bars are very friendly, so you will soon meet people if you are new to the city.”

Where it is:
Shops: 1 minute away.

At the heart of our fabulous, coastal city this secret area is THE place to be, moments away from the Level which hosts fairgrounds and arts events all year round, as well as the major brand shopping – and organic produce- of Lewes and London Roads. At the foot of the famous North Laine, art venues, restaurants and bars are all there to explore and the cultural centre of the city with its beaches are also easy to reach. There is almost 24/7 access to the station serving London and Gatwick, and local buses will take you to the universities at Moulsecoomb and Falmer.
