Why you’ll like it:
If you have a busy lifestyle this is the perfect retreat, tucked away in a well -connected, no through development in a great area with a laid back, social vibe. Architect designed, this small, double glazed block is set around a central garden and this apartment has its own private entrance. Inside has a fuss free flow, where the attention to detail includes plenty of storage in the hallway which is an underrated but fundamentally important aspect in any apartment.
Ahead, the elegant living dining room is beautifully decorated and has a large picture window to frame the leafy setting.

Next door, the high end kitchen has plenty of space for a family table and a stable door opens to the patio for parties. A modern classic with painted shaker units delivering plenty of storage, gleaming granite surfaces look great but are also practical. Well planned, everything flows from the central gas hob and oven beneath a lit hood and other integrated appliances include a fridge, freezer and dishwasher.

Outside, the patio is a tranquil refuge secure behind fences with a gate to a pathway for bikes if you don’t want to leave them in the garage, and it’s also good for buggies of course. Paved and lit there are raised bed for easy maintenance and there’s plenty of space for a dining table for al fresco summers.

Returning inside, at the end of the hallway the contemporary shower room has luxury features which include a dual head shower, vanity beneath the hand basin and warming rails for towels.
At the back of the house, the guest room has a generous 3.74m x 2.42m (12’3 x 7’11) to relax in, and completely private, there are already double wardrobes to fill. At the front of the house with a big window to bring the garden and the morning sunshine in, the principal bedroom is a dream come true with designer wallpaper and 3.99 x 3.34m (13’1 x 10’11) in which to unwind.

Agent says:
“Good to go, this luxury retreat with a stylish finish, a sunny patio and rare to find garage is a great home or investment with the sea, parks and hospital only a few minutes away on foot and the city centre just a short drive.”

Owner’s secret:
“Warm in the winter but light and airy during summer, this house is always welcoming and it is also easy to maintain. Private and quiet inside, the garage makes life easy and there is also plentiful permit parking (you can buy visitor permits). It suits a busy lifestyle as the close is quiet and neighbours look out for each other. Although the setting is relaxing, my favourite place is sitting in the sun on the patio, and there is easy access to all that Brighton has to offer -there is something for everyone- as well as almost 24hr transport links to the stations and airports.”
