Why you’ll like it:

The townhouses of Holland Road certainly have an air of grandeur, standing five storeys tall; adorned with glossy black railings and the architectural features of the period. This property sits mid terrace on the eastern side and is formed from the entire top floor, giving it the best views within the building which have been maximised by ample glazing on both sides.

You enter the apartment on the second floor where a door opens to an internal staircase, adding to the sense of space within. There is also space to hang coats at the bottom of the stairs, which rise up to the open plan living room and kitchen.

Stepping inside, it is clear this apartment has been beautifully maintained by those with an eye for colour and interior styling. Wood floors are paired with white walls, some of which have been picked out in warmer neutral tones, and there is ample space for relaxed seating and for formal dining alongside the open plan kitchen. The easterly wall feels almost entirely glazed with sash windows framing rooftop views below open skies which light up during sunrise and fill the space with natural light.

While sociable and open to the room, the kitchen is partially recessed so it does not dominate the space. There are plenty of units for storage alongside an integrated oven and hob, while space has been. Left for a tall fridge freezer and a washing machine.

Spanning the front of the building, the bedrooms sit side by side and are both lovely double rooms with a westerly aspect and built-in wardrobes. Warm light filters in during the afternoon and early evening during summer, and once again, the views take you over the roof tops of the local landscape below big skies, so you can star gaze as you drift off to sleep. Nearby, the bathroom has a generous walk-in rainfall shower with stylish urban grey wall tiles.

Agent’s thoughts:

This property sits in an incredible location between the centres of both Brighton and Hove, so there is so much to enjoy on foot. The flat itself is very well-presented so you can move straight in or let it out immediately with ease.
