Description
A central blank canvas with picture perfect views to the sea from a big west facing balcony, this two bedroom apartment soars above our leafy city, so it is both bright and private. Ideal for professionals, investors or even a small family as there is a lift, both bedrooms are good sized doubles and it’s in a great location just up from Valley Gardens where people like lunch by the fountains, 4 minutes’ walk from Amex with arts colleges and other major employers easy to reach (eg the hospital is 15-20 mins) and students could roll down the hill and be on the bus to the universities on Lewes Road and at Falmer in minutes. With 690 sq.ft (64.1m2) to inspire ideas – just a few tweaks would add value - the layout is practical with the spacious living/dining room connected to the fitted kitchen, and the modern bathroom is separate to the w.c., useful in a busy home. Well maintained by the local authority, this secure block is a popular one 4 minutes from the legendary North Laine, 9 from the station with direct trains to London via Gatwick and just 15 from the sea all on foot.

Council Tax: A

In a chic, central spot where you are never far from a coffee or a store, now is the time to buy this big apartment as the new Amex Plaza is under construction. Making the most of its elevated position at the top of the city with sweeping views and uninterrupted light, this modern brick built block with double glazing and secure entrance system is on the edge of a well- kept development with a healthy mix of private and local authority homes. Always popular with locals who want to get a foot on the ladder with outside space, inside, the clean and tidy communal hall has a lift large enough for buggies to whisk you up to the twelfth floor and some fantastic views.

On the prime west side, through the front door, the hallway is light with deep storage tucked away and it is worth heading straight to the glamorous living room. Of dual aspect, sunshine streams through this room where the west wall is filled by windows and a glazed door leads to a balcony ideal for friends to spill out to and soak up the atmosphere of this great location. Inside has 15’3 x 11’10 (4.64m x 3.6m) in which to work, rest or play and at 11’9 x 5.7 (3.59m x 1.69) the balcony is also large enough for dining whilst admiring a view which sweeps across the lower buildings beneath to the treetops of Victoria Gardens and tips of the Royal Pavilion, and over the vibrant, evolving city to the sea.

Connected to the kitchen by windows with a central opening for seamless entertaining, the kitchen has a thoughtful layout with plenty of storage and practical surfaces. Plumbing is in place for a washing machine and the freestanding electric cooker could stay, subject to circumstance.

Central to the apartment, the modern bathroom has all you need including a shower above the bath, and there is a separate w.c. Opposite, both bedrooms are light and airy, each with built in wardrobes ready for your move, and both are doubles and almost the same size, so good for sharers.

Agent says:
“This spacious apartment offers the best of the Brighton lifestyle in a great, central position within a stroll of the world famous North Laine but also close to gardens with fountains and near to the beach- and it would also be a secure lock up and leave.”

Owner’s secret:
“This location is ideal with the sea and everything you need on your doorstep and we enjoy feeling very connected to the city even when we are discreetly tucked away in the apartment. Although we like the privacy of the apartment, the neighbours are friendly and all the cafés, bars and restaurants are very welcoming, so you won’t feel isolated if you are new to Brighton.”
