Why you’ll like it:
Driving into the city past Brighton’s most beautiful park, this substantial Victorian villa is handsome in red brick, bearing the classic features and stature of the era. Parking is privately tucked away to the rear, while the grand portico entrance is to the front with stairs rising through neat communal ways to your door.

Far more spacious than many one-bedroom apartments, the rooms are well proportioned and naturally light as sun streams in tall double glazed sash windows framing views of mature trees towards the park. Each room has been decorated using designer wall papers for feature walls and delicate tones of grey which brighten each space further. The living room is particularly spacious with room for relaxation and dining, alongside an open plan kitchen with streamlined cabinets, grey quartz worktops and integrated appliances.

From here you access the incredibly spacious roof terrace which is open on three sides allowing full sunshine throughout the day during high season. This area becomes a wonderful summer extension of the home for barbecues and drinks or dinner alfresco with friends. From this elevated position there are stunning views over the treetops of the park and there is plenty of space on the decking for garden furnishings.

Returning inside, the bedroom is a fine size double room with easy access to the immaculate bathroom where there is a shower over the bath.

Agent’s thoughts:
With so many winning features, parking and an incredible location close to the city and the park, this property will attract many.

Owner’s thoughts:
“There’s so much to love about this place – but undoubtedly, the roof terrace was the main selling point when we bought the flat. We have had so much fun entertaining, or simply relaxing in the sunshine, and the night skies are just as lovely. Living so close to Preston Circus is also great as there are loads of great restaurants, pubs and the Duke of York’s Cinema.”
