1 bedroom flat for sale

Naturally light and spacious, this lower ground floor apartment sits in one of the most sought-after locations in the city. It sits within a grand Regency townhouse in Brunswick Town, benefitting from the beautiful architectural features of the era and generous proportions throughout. It is only partially lower ground as it is set back from the road behind a patio garden which forms a lovely backdrop to the main reception room.

The proximity to two commuter stations; the cosmopolitan shops, cafes and restaurants of Church Road, and Hove’s clean beaches make this the perfect pad for first time buyers, investors and downsizers alike.

This property is for sale by the Modern Method of Auction.

The iconic Regency townhouses of Brunswick Town are Grade II listed to protect their creamy curved facades adorned with ornate architectural features. This apartment sits on the lower ground floor to the front of a mid-terrace house approached down a few stone steps behind smart iron railings. You pass a deep shared storage cupboard in the vaulted space within the front patio which leads to the main door, opening to a neat communal hallway shared with just one other.

Stepping inside, you are greeted into a sweet vestibule with space for hanging coats, and a door to the right leading through to the smart, stone tiled bathroom which has a shower over the bath. To the left, however, a door opens to the main reception room where two sash windows follow the natural curve of the building, framing views over the pretty front patio while allowing plenty of natural light in from the east. While technically a lower ground apartment, it does not feel as such due to being set well back from the road.

Clearly well-maintained, the interior decoration with ochre and charcoal walls complements the light oak flooring and woodwork around the windows and shutters which are picked out in mid-grey. There is ample space for comfortable seating and formal dining within the bay, or close to the kitchen which is recessed yet open to the room. Offering a wealth of storage solutions alongside space and plumbing for several appliances, the kitchen is smart and spacious, yet there remains scope to add value with further modernisations.

From the kitchen, the bedroom sits peacefully to the rear of the building with a glazed door opening to the private patio garden. This is another generous room with ample space for a king size bed alongside freestanding wardrobes and other bedroom furnishings within the alcove and nearby.

Outside, tall white walls provide privacy to the outside space which has room for a garden table and chairs for drinks and dining alfresco. West facing, it receives the afternoon and evening sunshine which brings a warm light into the bedroom. Neighbouring palm trees offer a green and leafy outlook, while potted plants can be added for those with the time to tend.

Should you view, offer or bid on the property, your information will be shared with the Auctioneer, iamsold. This method of auction requires both parties to complete the transaction within 56 days of the draft contract for sale being received by the buyers solicitor. This additional time allows buyers to proceed with mortgage finance (subject to lending criteria, affordability and survey). The buyer is required to sign a reservation agreement and make payment of a non-refundable Reservation Fee. This being 4.50% of the purchase price including VAT, subject to a minimum of £6,600.00 including VAT. The Reservation Fee is paid in addition to purchase price and will be considered as part of the chargeable consideration for the property in the calculation for stamp duty liability.

Buyers will be required to go through an identification verification process with iamsold and provide proof of how the purchase would be funded. This property has a Buyer Information Pack which is a collection of documents in relation to the property. The documents may not tell you everything you need to know about the property, so you are required to complete your own due diligence before bidding. A sample copy of the Reservation Agreement and terms and conditions are also contained within this pack. The buyer will also make payment of £349.00 including VAT towards the preparation cost of the pack, where it has been provided by iamsold. The property is subject to an undisclosed Reserve Price with both the Reserve Price and Starting Bid being subject to change.
