This lovely split level one bedroom apartment is a recently built addition to a property in Kemp Town and has the benefit of being one of only two apartments in the building. The property is in an excellent location, moments from the seafront and walking distance to Brighton Train Station and the city centre, but is still extremely quiet and private. The accommodation boasts an open plan living room/kitchen leading to a small balcony and cloakroom on the first floor, with the second floor comprising of a double bedroom with en-suite bathroom and second small balcony with views over Dorset Gardens. This property would make an ideal first time purchase or smart letting investment due to its proximity to the station, law courts, hospitals and American Express.

Why you’ll like it

You get the best of both worlds with this great one bedroom apartment, in that although it is right in the heart of Kemp Town with its plethora of pubs, bars and restaurants, it is on a quiet side road off St. James Street and is discretely situated at the back of the building looking over the delightful Dorset Gardens.

You access the property through a communal hallway and up one flight of stairs you reach the landing, a useful extra space for bikes and buggies. You enter the flat via a welcoming hallway complete with door entry phone, recessed ceiling spot light, radiator and laminate wooden flooring which continues through to the light and bright open plan living room / kitchen.

The living area has four recessed ceiling spot lights, radiator and double glazed patio doors that lead to a Juliette style decked balcony, enjoying pretty views over Dorset Gardens. The kitchen area is neatly fitted in the corner of the room with slate effect tiled floor, cream shaker wall and base units, tiled splashback and neutral wood effect work surfaces. It is fully equipped with integrated fridge/freezer, Electrolux oven, hob with concealed fitted hood and stainless steel sink and drainer. This floor also has the benefit of a cloakroom (handy for when you have guests), complete with low level WC, wash hand basin with tiled splashback, extractor fan, tiled flooring and recessed ceiling spot light.

This apartment has the benefit of being split level and at the end of the hallway a carpeted stairway takes you up to the second floor. On reaching the landing you find a useful utility cupboard which discretely houses the combi boiler and washing machine which can stay on request.

Straight ahead is the good sized carpeted double bedroom with attractive large vaulted ceiling complete with radiator, Velux window letting in an abundance of light and patio doors leading to a second decked balcony, also boasting a lovely garden view. The en-suite bathroom has panelled bath with overhead shower attachment and tiled surround, low level WC, wash hand basin, vaulted ceiling with Velux window, partly tiled walls, tiled flooring, two recessed ceiling lights and radiator.
