Why You’ll Like It

Just a few minutes from the historic cultural heart of the city – on foot- Queen’s Park is one of the most sought after areas of our coastal city. The tennis courts, pond and leafy spaces of Queen’s Park are a social hub for dog walkers and joggers or you can walk, run or cycle for miles along the seafront which is within sight as you leave the building. Students like it for its swift links to art colleges, universities and teaching hospitals, and professionals choose it as it has plentiful permit parking, it is close to the County Hospital, Brighton General, legal quarter and Amex as well as to the sea - and now is the time to buy when substantial improvements are underway along the seafront and include a So-Ho House, Lido and café bars on the local beaches!

On a tree-lined street, outside the house has charm and the door opens to a communal hall which is clearly cared for. Ahead, the apartment has a cheerful east/west orientation and the sun-lit living room is a classic beauty with 4.8 x 3.07m (15’9 x 10’1) and streamlined finish to enjoy. Good to go, the kitchen area is tucked along one wall so it doesn’t intrude into the main space and integrated appliances include an electric hob and a microwave – don’t forget you are surrounded by cafés, restaurants and bistro pubs in this fabulous location!

Central to the apartment, the chic shower room has a designer finish and along the hallway, quiet at the back of the building, the restful double bedroom is beautifully

decorated whilst 5.73 x 3.68m (18’10 x 12’1) of floorspace in the main room and a closet of 2.48 x 2.37m (8’2 x 7’9) inspire ideas.

Outside, the spacious patio is a sunny retreat, facing east but open to the south. Ideal for entertaining – and friends will want to meet here as it’s so convenient for the beach as well as the Lanes- it’s a peaceful, blank canvas for you to make your own.

Agent’s thoughts:

“A prime location by the park, you can walk to the picturesque Lanes and the sea. This area has something for everyone as major employers and St James’s Street are on the doorstep. Ideal as a luxury home, if you want a high yield investment it is convenient for the city and station with swift links to academic institutions.”

Owner’s secret:

“Quiet but convenient the location couldn’t be better within a short walk of the sea, local shops, the Lanes and Marina, and as buses take you into the centre, along the coast or to the National Park you don’t really need a car here. Brighton Station is about 15 mins by bus or 7-10 by cab. Inside all the rooms are light and restful, and the private patio is a restful retreat after a busy day in the city or a hot one on the beach. It is a great place to live with the park at the top of the street and there’s a kind, supportive, local community.”
