The Park Royal development sits within walled grounds and is attractive on the approach having recently come to the end of a five-year exterior renovation plan. Its clean, Mid-Century lines are softened by its leafy environs, and there is plenty of residents’ parking on-site. A secure entry system provides access to a neat communal hallway where a lift, or stairs, awaits to take you to the first floor.

The wonderful thing about purpose-built apartments is their proportions. Every room is bright, open and well insulated for sound and heat, and there is a vast amount of storage to ensure the space remains streamlined. These flats also lend themselves to many styles of decoration, from the modern to the traditional, so they are hugely versatile.

You are greeted into a wide and welcoming hallway where fresh white walls and pale wood flooring which flows into every room for continuity; creating a blank canvas for the new owners to decorate. Both bedrooms sit at this end of the apartment, away from the main living space. They enjoy a westerly aspect with windows framing leafy views and double glazing ensures they are restful spaces. As double rooms, they are ideal for sharers or smaller families, allowing space for bunkbeds and a play area, or a double bed and freestanding furnishings. Bedroom two has a deep built-in cupboard which maximises the floor space further.

Conveniently opposite the bedrooms, the bathroom and separate WC have been modernised in classic white with contemporary sanitaryware and a shower over the bath.

As the WC is separate, the two rooms could be opened up to create one large bathroom with both a separate shower and bathtub – all food for thought.

Sitting at the far end of the corridor, the living room is particularly spacious with a wide box bay window to bring in plenty of natural light while providing the perfect spot for a dining table and chairs. There is ample space elsewhere for comfortable furnishings, sideboards and side tables, so you can relax with the family in the evening. From here, the kitchen is easy to access across the hall, creating a second sociable space for informal drinks and dining at the fitted breakfast bar. While the cabinets are slightly dated, they are in immaculate condition providing a wealth of storage space. There is also a huge amount of workspace for the keen cook and while the oven and gas hob are integrated, there is space for a tall fridge freezer and a washing machine. A little reconfiguration would also allow space for a dishwasher if needed.

This smart and spacious first floor apartment is situated in a popular area with lots of local shops and the beach on your doorstep. The city centre shopping districts and parks are also within easy reach, and this house also offers easy access to Brighton Station which has direct and fast links to the airports and London.
