The perfect pad for buy to let landlords, this modern one-bedroom flat sits in a highly sought-after location within walking distance of two commuter stations and Seven Dials. It is formed within the ground floor of a Victorian building on the cusp of Millers Road, so it gains glorious views from outside towards the South Downs from its hilly position. Inside, the rooms are well designed to include an open plan living room and a double bedroom with dressing area. French doors open to a sweet patio garden, yet there are several parks and the beach is within easy walking distance too. There is a tenant in situ for 12 months, making it a swift investment opportunity which will appeal to many.

Why you’ll like it:
Sweeping up from Preston Park to meet Dyke Road, Millers Road forms one of the Brighton’s famous hills, and while it feels nicely tucked away from the hubbub of the city, you are within easy walking distance of two commuter stations, the city centre and three beautiful parks. This apartment resides within a period property which was converted in 2005. The communal entrance is set back from the street slightly and your door is to the right.

Stepping into the apartment, you are greeted into an entrance hall with three doors. The first opens to the open plan living room which has a wide bay window almost covering the westerly wall, bringing in plenty of natural light. Double-glazed, it remains peaceful from the street and inside there is ample space for a corner sofa and a dining table and chairs, inviting both entertaining and relaxation.

Running long the rear wall, the kitchen has been planned well with space and plumbing for either a washing machine or a dishwasher, while the under-counter fridge, fan oven and gas hob are integrated. This leaves plenty of storage space at both base and wall levels in streamlined white gloss cabinetry, which sits well against the walnut flooring and fresh white walls within the space.
From the hallway, the bathroom is on trend with metro brick wall tiles and an integrated shower over the bath. A mirrored wall cabinet and a heated towel rail completes the modern look.
Peacefully positioned to the rear of the property with access to the decked patio space, the bedroom is a tranquil double room with a sleeping area and a dressing room at the far end.

Agent’s thoughts:
With a tenant in situ for 12 months, this property is ideal for buy to let landlords looking for an immediate return.

Owner’s secret
‘This has been a hugely successful rental property for me as the location is ideal and it is a really smart pad for professionals. It is also surprisingly quiet for somewhere so central – I’ll be sad to see it go.’
