Beautifully presented and deceptively spacious with a split-level layout, this bright and stylish two-bedroom flat sits in the newly regenerated Preston Circus area, just minutes from Brighton Station and Preston Park. It is formed from the first floor of a substantial Victorian townhouse on Preston Road, so its rooms are generous with high ceilings and wide bay windows to fill them with natural light from east to west. Having been completely renovated throughout, it is an immediately impressive space which is ready to move straight into or let out with ease. For these reasons, it will appeal to professionals looking for commuter links and space to work from home, or for Landlords looking for a sound investment in the city.

Why you’ll like it:
Sitting between the cool, café culture of Preston Circus and the gracious arches of Brighton’s historic viaduct is a smart terrace of Victorian homes. While they were originally built as single dwellings, many have been converted into generous apartments such as this.

Set well back from the road, this house has a red brick facade adorned with the quintessential detailing of the Victorian period, giving it plenty of kerb appeal. You approach up a few stone steps to the main door where stairs rise through the neat communal hallway to your door.

Upon entry, it is clear this is an immaculate and stylish space with a contemporary, yet subtle decoration throughout. To the front of the building, the sitting room has a wide bay sash window almost covering the easterly elevation, bringing in a wealth of natural light. There is space to relax in here on comfortable furnishings, while the kitchen has ample space for a dining table.

Sharing the same high ceiling and easterly aspect as the living room, bedroom two is a single room, ideal as a guest room, child’s room or as a tranquil home office. Peacefully positioned to the rear of the building, the principal bedroom is a fine size double looking out over the neighbouring gardens with a westerly aspect allowing warm light to filter in during the afternoon. Both bedrooms have a restful décor and soft carpet underfoot for added warmth and comfort. Along the hall, the bathroom is classic in white with a shower over the bath.

Steps lead down to the kitchen at the rear of the building. It has been well-designed to allow space for a dining table and chairs alongside modern cabinets for storage, leaving space for freestanding appliances below solid beech worktops. Again, the views are peaceful looking out to the green of the gardens below and the natural light is charming.

Agent’s thoughts:
Perfectly formed and well-presented throughout, this sunny apartment is ready to go, so will appeal to busy professionals and landlords alike.

Owner’s thoughts:
‘The location is ideal for so many as the schools, stations, shops and parks are easy to reach, and the flat itself is surprisingly peaceful for somewhere so central.’

There are plenty of local green spaces, and great transport links, but you are also only a short walk from everything this vibrant coastal city has to offer.
