Why you’ll like it:

There is a palpable sense of community within the tree-lined avenues of Wilbury Avenue and Crescent with many families and professionals living here. It is surprisingly quiet for such a central location, and behind the mature trees lining it stand a wonderful array of homes in varying architectural styles. Aynsley Court is archetypal for the Mid-Century Modern era with clean lines and large picture windows to fill the apartments with light from the south. This apartment resides on the first floor with windows to the south and west, so the light is glorious throughout the day.

There is parking to the rear and stairs rising to the first floor where the door is clearly numbered. Stepping inside, there is a vast amount of storage for household items, shoes and coats to keep the flat clutter free. While the entire flat is neutrally decorated and in a fine condition, there is clearly scope for modernisation in areas which would add considerable value in such a prestigious location.

The dual aspect living room enjoys leafy views and ample space for both comfortable sofas and a small dining table and chairs. Nearby the kitchen has plenty of storage at both base and eye levels, leaving space for a freestanding electric cooker, washing machine and a tall fridge freezer.

Both bedrooms are double with the second bedroom benefitting from built-in wardrobes which maximise the floor space, while the principal room has space for freestanding pieces around a double bed. The bathroom nearby would benefit from updating, but it currently offers space for a full bath suite with an electric shower over it, so you can always ensure piping hot water when you need it.

This first-floor flat is situated in a prestigious area with lots of local shops, and the beach nearby. 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 access to the universities, the airports and London.
