With generous room proportions, far-reaching leafy views and a contemporary décor, this one-bedroom apartment is ready to move straight into or let out immediately with ease.

It sits on the top floor of a smart Mid-Century apartment building on the border between Brighton and Hove.

It is nicely tucked away from Dyke Road, while remaining just minutes from cosmopolitan Seven Dials and Brighton Station, so it is perfectly positioned to access the city and the beach.

It also enjoys access to the communal lawns and Dyke Road Park opposite, and inside it is naturally light with dual aspect windows and an open vista.

Parking on site is for residents only using a permit on a first-come-first-served basis, yet there are plenty of bays for all apartments. Being so well-presented and sitting in such a favourable location, it is sure to be coveted by many.

Why you’ll like it:

The smart, low-rise buildings of Fairways sit tucked away from Dyke Road on leafy grounds with ample on-site parking. The buildings are attractive in red brick with a symmetrical, linear form and glazed double doors opening to the well-maintained communal ways. Stairs rise up to your floor, and while there is no lift, the views are well worth the short climb.

Stepping inside, it is immediately clear this is a beautiful home which has been modernised throughout using a cool palette of grey and white to suit all styles of furnishing. The living room is well-proportioned and spacious with room to dine and relax by a corner window which fills the space with light while framing far-reaching views over the local landscape. Next door, the bedroom is equally spacious with private views and double-glazed windows to ensure a truly restful night’s sleep.

Well-equipped with streamlined handle-free cabinetry offering a wealth of storage, the kitchen is brilliantly designed for the space. Space and plumbing have been left for a washing machine and a tall fridge freezer, while the oven and gas hob are integrated, and the sink is thoughtfully placed below the window.

With a similarly modern aesthetic, the bathroom is fully tiled in urban-grey porcelain and has a rainfall shower over the white bath suite. More storage can be found outside for linens and towels and there is a vanity unit below the basin.

Agent’s thoughts:

The location of this apartment is excellent as it is peacefully tucked away while remaining well-connected to the city. With the addition of parking, this flat will appeal to many.

Owner’s thoughts:

‘’I have loved living here; so close to Seven Dials, yet on the relatively peaceful and leafy side close to the park. The building is lovely and quiet as with double glazing you aren’t interrupted with noise from the road, and for commuters Brighton Station is under 10-minutes on foot. It is also really useful having Tesco Express and Co-op on your doorstep, and you can walk into the city centre or to the beach with ease too.’’
