Why you’ll like it:

This exceptional one-bedroom apartment has a vaulted ceiling, a mezzanine bedroom suite and tall windows to fill it with natural light. For an open and airy space, it is perfectly warm during winter due to under floor heating and the sun naturally lights the space through ample triple glazed windows.

Within the living room, there is space for relaxation, entertaining and formal dining. It is an impressive space due to the scale and shape of the room, which is only improved by the fine quality fittings and cabinetry of the kitchen which is fashionably open plan. All appliances are integrated within streamlined units topped with stone worktops and the ground floor WC is nearby alongside storage cupboards for household items to ensure the flat remains clutter free.

Upstairs, the mezzanine bedroom looks out over the living room so it received plenty of borrowed light, yet concealed LED lighting sets the mood. This is a generous room with a stylish ensuite wet room and matt black fittings to include a rainfall shower.

The local area has a wealth of amenities from pubs, cafes, delicatessens, health food shops, gyms and a cinema, plus Preston Park is a dream at any time of year. Preston Park Station and Brighton Mainline Station are within easy walking distance, as is London Road Station with access to Lewes and the universities, and the bus routes are excellent.

This is one of the most fantastic locations in Brighton. A short walk from Brighton Station and the restaurants and cafes in the North Laine and Brighton’s theatre district. Nearby is Preston Circus and the Duke of Yorks picturehouse. There are shops, a park, the beach and it is close to the central site for the Brighton Festival which gets bigger and better every year.
