Tucked away behind the Victorian mansions of Highcroft Villas, this serene and spacious, two-bedroom garden flat is a hidden gem. It sits within a smart, low-rise purpose build development surrounded by greenery and fresh air due to its hilltop position. Inside, the decoration is immaculate and neutral to suit all styles of furnishing, allowing you to put your own stamp on the place or move straight in. Double doors open to the private garden from the sitting room and dining area. Facing southeast it is bathed in natural light and is an excellent size for a city home.

Just 10-minutes away on foot are fashionable Seven Dials and Brighton Station, so it is incredibly well placed for easy access to everything this cosmopolitan coastal city has to offer. For young families, the local schools are among the best in the city and there are several beautiful parks nearby to enjoy. Parking is free and allocated for those commuting by road, and the South Downs National Park is just 10-minutes north for those who love the great outdoors.

Why you’ll like it
Just a few minutes on foot from Seven Dials and Dyke Road, Highcroft Villas sweeps up the western embankment from Brighton Station, giving it an incredible viewpoint over the city in the east. This property sits to the rear of a grand Victorian villa close to the top of the hill, so it benefits from these views as you enter and exit the car park.

Built in 2007, the development is modern and streamlined in red brick with just four apartments in total, adding to the feeling of privacy, but also of community within the building. You can park on the forecourt, then stepping inside the communal ways are well maintained, with this flat enjoying easy access on the ground floor. The door opens to a welcoming entrance hall with deep built-in cupboards for coats, shoes and household items to ensure the flat remains clutter free.

The eye is first drawn to the right where natural light streams into the open plan living room, dining room and kitchen which spans the south easterly elevation. French doors link this room with the garden which becomes a seamless extension of the home during summer, more than doubling the entertaining space. It is secure enough for children to play and both soft lawn and a patio provide areas to sunbathe, relax or dine alfresco as the weather warms.

Returning inside, the living space feels bright and airy with defined areas to eat and relax on comfortable furnishings. The kitchen is well-appointed to one side with all your appliances integrated, so you can move in with ease.

Across the hall, both bedrooms enjoy peaceful views, double glazed windows and soft carpet underfoot. While the principal bedroom is a substantial double room with space for a king size bed and several pieces of freestanding furnishings, the second bedroom is also roomy, and would fit a small double bed if needed – although it is currently dressed as a single. It would also be ideal for professionals looking for a tranquil office when working from home.
Nearby, the bathroom is modern with a monochrome scheme and a shower over the immaculate bath suite.

Agent’s thoughts:
This is a lovely flat in a fantastic location for the city and the station. The added bonus of on-site parking and a private rear garden will appeal to many.

Owner’s thoughts:
“This is a really comfortable flat to live in as it offers plenty of space and the location is incredibly convenient with so much accessible on foot. The open plan living room works perfectly when friends visit and is simply glorious during summer with the doors open as you are not overlooked in the garden due to so much greenery. It’s so peaceful out here and the garden receives sunlight all year round so plants and wildlife thrive – it really is hard to believe you are so close to the city here.”

Where it is
Shops: Tesco Express 2 min walk, City Centre 15 min walk
Station: Preston Park Station 8 min walk, Brighton 15 min walk
Seafront or Park: Dyke Road Park 3 min walk, Hove Seafront 25 min walk
Closest Schools:
Primary: Stanford Infant and Junior Schools
Secondary: Varndean and Dorothy Stringer, Cardinal Newman RC
Private: Brighton College

This is a great flat in a popular location which is well served for shops, parks and stations. There are plenty of local green spaces, and great transport links, but you are also only a short walk from everything this vibrant coastal city has to offer. The A23/A27 and both Brighton and Preston Park Stations are also within easy reach, for those requiring fast links to Gatwick or London on a daily or weekly basis.
