Elevated on the top floor of a substantial Victorian house with a sunny westerly aspect, this sweet one-bedroom apartment feels peaceful for such a central location, just a few minutes from fashionable Seven Dials and Brighton Station. While it is positioned sociably close to the city, it is also tucked away on a quiet residential street, with everything you could need within easy walking distance. While it is well-presented with a clean and neutral decoration, it would benefit from some modernisation which would add value in this prestigious area. Ideal for first-time buyers, commuters and buy-to-let landlords, this property will be snapped up.

Why you’ll like it:
Built in 1890s, these stately Victorian terraces bear all the hallmarks of the period with ornate architectural detailing and wide bay windows on their red-brick facades. They were once substantial family homes, and while many have since been converted into sizable apartments, they remain as popular today.

This road is surprisingly quiet for such a central location, with this flat even more so as it sits elevated on the top floor. From the neat communal hallway to take the stairs to your door which is clearly numbered. Once inside, stairs rise into the main body of the flat, adding to the feeling of space within.

The bathroom is first to the left with a full bath suite in a traditional style with blue tile accents on white and a shower over the bath. It sits conveniently opposite the bedroom which looks out over the rear of the building enjoying city and skyscape views from two windows and a deep built-in wardrobe with space for more than just clothes.

Spanning the front of the house, the living room sits conveniently next door to the kitchen, looking out to the peaceful tree-lined street. A period fireplace adds character to the living room which has space for both formal dining within the bay and relaxed seating. The kitchen may be dated, but is in fine fettle with space and plumbing for a washing machine, cooker and a fridge freezer alongside plenty of storage.

Agent’s thoughts:
This is a sweet flat which you can move straight into or let out immediately with ease. Ideal for investors and particularly commuters who will find the close proximity of Brighton Station ideal.
