Sillwood Place, Brighton, East Sussex, BN1

Osprey House sits within a historic lattice of streets leading up from Brighton’s eclectic seafront to the city centre and Hove. It is a grand mid-century building surrounded by Regency homes on a peaceful close, tucked away from the hubbub of Western Road and Kingsway. This smart two-bedroom flat sits elevated on the fourth floor with a balcony on its eastern side, looking out over rooftops to the sea.

Being purpose built, it has well-proportioned rooms with full height windows to fill it with natural light, and having been recently redecorated, the decor is clean and modern so you could move straight in or let it out immediately with ease.

It is an easy walk to Brighton Mainline Station from here, so it would make an excellent buy-to-let investment, or first step on (or up) the ladder. With a private balcony, a fantastic location and secure underground parking, it is sure to attract the attentions of many.

Sitting amongst Regency neighbours, this contemporary two-bedroom apartment sits within walking distance of the social and cultural centres of both Brighton and Hove. From the balcony you can see the sea so the beach and recently renovated promenade are literally on your doorstep, then at the top of the hill you can eat your way around the globe on Western Road, so you get the best of everything this vibrant coastal city has to offer.

Osprey House sits on a pedestrianised close, set back from the path behind lush greenery and lawns. It is archetypally mid-century in design, so it has the clean, linear form of the era. You approach this apartment from the secure, underground car park or using the secure entry phone system to the front. From here, a tall lift or stairs can be taken to the fourth floor where the door to the apartment is clearly numbered.

You enter an L-shaped hallway where two deep cupboards await coats, shoes, linen and household items, ensuring the flat remains clutter free. Both double bedrooms sit to this side of the flat, away from the main living area with the bathroom conveniently opposite. Facing east, the bedrooms enjoy a lovely morning light, and both have ample space for a king size beds and larger pieces of freestanding furniture without compromising the floor space. The bathroom nearby is classic in white with urban slate wall tiles and a shower over the bath.

At the end of the corridor, the open plan living room and kitchen shares the same sunny orientation as the bedrooms but is filled with even more light due to the easterly wall being almost entirely glazed with a door leading out to the balcony. There are clearly defined areas inside for relaxing, dining and cooking, and the contemporary kitchen has been fully fitted with plenty of storage and some integrated appliances, leaving space for a tall fridge freezer.

This room has been well-designed with soft wood flooring running through the space, complimented by fresh white walls. During summer you can sit out in the morning sunshine with your coffee as there is space for a small table and chairs on the balcony; just watching the world trundle by, en route to the beach. The i360 is also visible and is soon to open once more, so the glass donut of visitors to the city will be visible in the sky very soon!

There are lots of local pubs and eateries, namely the popular Lion & Lobster gastro pub, and the promenade terraces have recently been renovated so are beautiful to sit and watch the sea from in the summer.

This peaceful 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 it also offers easy access to Brighton Station which has direct and fast links to the airports and London.
