Why you’ll like it:
Year on year this area gains popularity as people flock to live here due to the proximity to the city, two stations, and several popular gastropubs. Ditchling Road sweeps up through the city, drawing a line from the Palace Pier to Ditchling Beacon, but this apartment building sits perfectly on the city side with Brighton’s North Laine just 10-minutes away on foot.

St Saviours Court was built in 1983, but its red-brick façade sits in harmony with the neighbouring Victorian homes due to its canted bay, and dormer roof, windows. An entry phone system provides access, so it feels a secure place to come home to. The communal ways have been well-maintained, and you can take the stairs or the lift to your door which is clearly numbered on the first floor.

Inside, the décor is clean and neutral, with some useful storage built into the hallway to ensure the flat remains clutter free. You access the bathroom from here which has a modern, white three-piece suite with an electric shower over the bath, so you can always be assured of hot water when needed. A mirrored cabinet provides storage for toiletries, and cream wall tiles complement the space perfectly.

Directly ahead, the bedroom is bright, with a westerly orientation and double glazing to ensure a warm and restful night’s sleep. From here you gain the first of the exceptional, far-reaching views over the city below open skies which light up with colour at sunset and stars at night.

Sharing this sunny aspect, the living room is next door and has ample space for comfortable seating and formal dining. From here, you can look out over the city to the south and the west, with views stretching right out over the Victorian viaduct, St. Bartholomew’s Church and to the sea. While only a first-floor apartment, it has been built into the hillside allowing open views across the Preston Valley.

Easily accessible, the kitchen is adjoining, and has traditional white units paired with dark wood laminate worktops. While the oven and hob are integrated, space has been left for a washing machine, and the fridge freezer has space within the living room by the kitchen door, making it easy to access.

Agent’s thoughts:

“This property is excellent value for the area and within the city in general. It has so much potential too, so it is sure to be snapped up.”

Owner’s thoughts:

‘You cannot beat the location for convenience and entertainment. Preston Circus underwent huge regeneration recently with the addition of several fantastic new restaurants and bars. There are two new gyms and The Duke of York Cinema, so I rarely venture further into the city these days. You are also a 10-minute drive from both the beach and The Downs, so you get the best of all worlds here.’
