Set in a fantastic location between Brighton and Hove Stations, just a few minutes from the beach and the city centre, this one-bedroom apartment would suit many. It is formed from the lower ground floor of a smart Victorian townhouse, giving it the airy proportions of the period. While lower ground, it is naturally light as it has sole use of a sweet patio which brings plenty of sunshine in from the rear. The décor is fresh and neutral, yet the potential is there for modernisation which would add value in such a sought-after location. This would make a delightful first home or a buy to let investment- either way it is sure to be snapped up.

Why you’ll like it:
Quietly situated on a one-way road, away from the hustle and bustle of Palmeira Square, this apartment is found within a tall Victorian townhouse bearing the classic architectural features of the period. Positioned on the lower ground floor, it has its own street entrance which adds to the feeling of privacy. A few steps lead down to the front door where there is a generous vaulted storage space – a real bonus for bike storage or concealing refuse and recycling away from urban wildlife.

Stepping inside, the bedroom is first to the right. Sitting partially below street level, the bedroom feels private, with an energy efficient, double-glazed bay window ensuring it is also peaceful with natural light filtering down from the west. There is space in here for a king size bed and freestanding furnishings without compromising on floor space, plus the alcoves are ideal should you require desk space when working from home.

Within the living room, there is ample space for comfortable furnishings and formal dining which can spill out to the patio during the warmer seasons. Facing east, a lovely light streams in during the morning and throughout the day for alfresco summer lunches and weekend papers with coffee. It is perfectly low maintenance out here and far more spacious than many patio gardens in the area, with tall walls to be adorned with climbing plants for colour and scent.

Adjoining the living room, the kitchen is a great size with modern cabinets and fully integrated appliances, so you can move straight in with relative ease. At the far end of the flat, the bathroom is fresh in white and grey with a shower over the bath.

This flat 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 this home also offers easy access to Hove and Brighton Stations which have direct and fast links to the airports and London.
