2 bed Flat For Sale £375,000
Cheapside, Brighton, East Sussex, BN1

With a south facing, sunny balcony and use of large communal gardens and a roof terrace, this eco-friendly two bed apartment is good to go as a first buy or investment with an option to buy a share to get you on the ladder. 4 mins walk from Brighton Station’s direct trains to Gatwick, London and Sussex University, the vibrant boutiques, bars and restaurants of the famous North Laine are also just a stroll. In the award winning New England Quarter, on the 2nd floor it is quieter than its fabulous, central location may suggest and freshly decorated, all the rooms are light and spacious, offering a sophisticated, open plan lifestyle just 10 mins walk from the sea. Outside, a short stroll along a car free, tree lined lane takes you to the local pedestrian square popular for lunch in the sun which has a Sainsbury’s, a Japanese store and a café, and this prime location has easy access on foot, by bus or cab to the whole of the city.

On the market for the first time in 17 years this freshly decorated, contemporary home is in a sought after block within the development close to the steps which take you to the station, and Sharpthorne Court has a great community, a secret garden at the back, and a hidden roof terrace at the top. Discreetly tucked away the entrance is secure, and inside a striking hallway has a tropical feel as an opaque wall of glass frames the exotic planting of the car free lane to the side of the building. A lift whisks you to the second floor where a door leads through to a curved walkway with views of the verdant gardens beneath where any stress of the day will fall away, and where you will find this apartment.

Inside, the hushed hallway has a generous cupboard which also has plumbing for a utility machine and this stylish apartment is well kept and ready to move into. To the left, the sun filled living room offers open plan living at its most sophisticated with a large window at one end whilst at the other, glass doors almost fill the south wall and open to a chic balcony with space for a table and chairs, ideal for friends to spill out to. At the heart of the city, this development is sensitive to privacy and obliquely opposite a stylish office block, the balcony is unusually private in the evenings and at weekends. Inside has ample room for work, rest or play and safely tucked away from the in/out flow the streamlined kitchen is thoughtfully planned and good to go with a choice of ambient lighting levels, an electric hob and oven beneath a hood, and designated space for a tall fridge freezer.

Central to the apartment, the luxury shower room’s glamorous panels glitter in the natural light and there is both a hand basin and a w.c. Close by, the first of the double bedrooms is simple but stylish with plenty of space to make your own, and a place for a wardrobe behind the door. Above the traffic, the generous principal bedroom is also ready for your move with calm décor and generous space for wardrobes – and even an en-suite as one wall is shared with the shower room, stnc.

Outside, both the garden and the roof terrace are social hubs and you get the best of both worlds as the ground floor garden is lushly planted and quiet, whilst the roof terrace is big and sunny with wonderful views to share and expertly designed to get the sun all day, but there are also plenty of more sheltered areas for gatherings.
