ANOTHER SALE AGREED BY CHARTERS PRESTON PARK SALES OFFICE.

Brimming with potential for modernisation to add considerable value, this spacious two-bedroom maisonette is also brilliantly located just seconds from Preston Park Station, so it will appeal to commuters. It is formed within the ground and lower floors of a Victorian villa extension in Preston Village, looking out over a pretty, scented front garden. It is naturally light with generous room proportions, and while it is in need of complete renovation, it offers a huge opportunity for investors, developers and first-time buyers looking to live in a prime location within the city without paying a premium price. With the addition of a share of the freehold – we do not expect this property to stay on the market for long.




Style: Ground and lower floor maisonette
Type: 2 double bedrooms, 1 living room, 1 bathroom
Location: Preston Village
Floor Area: 744sq.ft
Outside: Scented front garden
Parking: Permit parking zone K

Why you’ll like it:
Peacefully positioned in Preston Village, this apartment gets the best of both worlds as it has all the elements of ‘village’ life while also being brilliantly well-connected to Central Brighton and London.

This property sits to the front of the modern extension to the property which gives it wide picture windows to fill it with natural light. These have been double glazed for added energy efficiency, and while the majority of this property requires renovation, these are in fine fettle.
It is formed from the ground and lower ground floors of the extension, so it feels particularly spacious when you enter. You step first into the living room which forms a large L shape offering ample space for formal dining and relaxed seating. Is it a dual aspect room bringing in plenty of light from east to west, and to the front, the room looks out over the garden while remaining completely private as it is set well back from the street. The kitchen is adjoining and will need replacing – yet the space allows for plenty of storage and all your fitted appliances.

Steps lead down to the bathroom on the landing which again is dated with a retro feel. While it has a bath and shower which are in working order, it would be preferable to replace the suite and modernise to add value and style to the room.
Stepping down again, there are two bedrooms with peaceful views, and both are fine size doubles with space for king beds and freestanding furnishings – ideal for professional sharers or families. There is a built-in cupboard with plumbing for a washing machine, but this could be moved to the kitchen if desired.

Agent’s thoughts:
It is very rare to see properties offering this much potential coming up for sale in this area. With a share of the freehold and the opportunity to add such value to the space, we feel this property will be snapped up.
