You can see the sea from the front door of The Priory which sits just back from Kingsway close to several local shops, bakeries and cafes. Positioned on the ground floor, this light and airy flat has easy, step-free access and a sunny westerly aspect to fill it with natural light.

Upon entry, it has clearly been well-maintained with fresh white walls and light wood-laminate flooring to suit all styles of furnishing. It is also a blank canvas for new homeowners who can enjoy putting their own stamp on the place. One of the qualities of Mid-century purpose-built developments is their generous proportions which can be found in both the living room and the bedroom in this flat. They are also well-built with excellent heat and sound insulation which is a huge bonus in apartment living.

There is ample space for formal dining and relaxed seating within the living room which can spill outside to the ground floor balcony/terrace from which you can also see the sea, and where there is space to sit outside in the last of the summer sunshine, just watching the world go by.

The bedroom is a lovely double with easy access to the bathroom and separate WC. It could be an idea to link these rooms to create a large, contemporary bathroom, but as it stands, it has a classic white bath suite with an electric shower over it.

Likewise, the kitchen is in fine fettle with clean, streamlined cabinetry and plenty of storage, leaving space for freestanding appliances – yet it would add value to modernise in here to create a space with real impact.

This homely apartment is situated in a popular area with lots of local shops and the beach on your doorstep. The city centre shopping districts and parks are also within easy reach, and this home also offers easy access to Hove Station and the A23/A27 which have direct and fast links to the airports and London.
