Enjoy the hushed luxury of this two bedroom contemporary apartment with a sun baked, south facing balcony and ample space in which to work, rest or play. This landmark new build block with a secure bike store and a lift is just up from Valley Gardens where people like to have lunch by the fountains and is also a stroll from the legendary North Laine where you are never far from fashion, fresh coffee or street theatre! Inside delivers international loft style living as the spacious open plan living room with a streamlined kitchen area opens to a balcony looking over a big courtyard and the striking architecture of a modern church, both bedrooms are generous doubles with leafy views which change with the seasons and the bathroom is also stylish. Attracting international investors, small families and professionals who work in the city, it is a 4 minute walk to the legal centres, arts colleges, Amex (which is building a new pedestrian plaza) and about 15 to the County Hospital. An enjoyable ramble through the gardens or scenic stroll along the seafront will take you to the picturesque Georgian Lanes, famous art venues or clubs, the station serving Gatwick London is about 10 minutes on foot or 5 by cab and if you use a car, there is plentiful permit parking with no waiting list in C zone.

Chic and central, now is the time to buy this fabulous apartment in a streamlined, contemporary block built with comfort and security in mind. There is a coded bike store and telephone entry system, all windows and doors are double glazed and inside the clean and tidy communal hall has a lift large enough for buggies to whisk you to the first floor and the entrance to this apartment which is found within an inner lobby shared by only two other apartments.

Inside, it is easy to shake off the stress of the day in a quiet hallway where a large cupboard should also mean that storage is not an issue. Ahead, the south wall of the sunny living space is almost filled by glass to frame the characterful but open setting even when seated inside.

Design led it invites company with practical floorspace to play which enables defined areas for relaxing and dining, and party perfect, it opens to a sheltered balcony for friends to spill out to. The stylish kitchen area is sociable but does not dominate the space, and it is skilfully planned with plenty of storage and working surfaces, all of which flow from the gas hob and oven beneath a hood to keep things fragrant. Good to go, there is designated space for a fridge freezer and plumbing is in place for a washing machine – and the good news is that the vendor is happy to discuss the appliances in situ.

Light and airy with a tall glass panel in the far wall, the principal double bedroom is a private sanctuary to return to, screened from the setback buildings opposite by a tree and completely private whilst the tree is in leaf. With ample room even with a double bed in it, the decoration is tasteful and right on trend. Next door, the second double room also has a floor to ceiling windowpane so visitors or sharers can enjoy the city sparking into life on winter evenings, but don’t forget that there is efficient double glazing! Across the hall, a luxury bathroom is tiled in classic shades of grey with fabulous fittings including a shower above the bath, shaving point by the hand basin and heated rail for towels.
