Compton Road, Brighton

Attractive on approach, the Edwardian terraced homes of Compton Road sit perched on one of Brighton’s famous hills, enjoying green and open views to the east. This well-presented and spacious two-bedroom maisonette is elevated further on the upper floors of a substantial Edwardian house taking full advantage of the vista.

Formed from the entire first and second floors, the property shares a communal entrance with just one other. The apartment door opens to an internal staircase rising to the main body of the flat, adding to the feeling of space within. From the galleried landing, the kitchen is directly ahead, positioned to the rear of the building enjoying the first glimpse of the view, taking in treetops and parkland below open skies. It is a generous room with space for socialising and informal drinks or dinner around the breakfast bar, while streamlined cabinetry in grey offers a wealth of storage solutions alongside fully integrated appliances, so you can move straight in with relative ease.

Carpeted steps lead up to bedroom two, which facing east, also enjoys the views framed by a tall window bringing in natural light to gently wake you each morning. Even with a king size bed, the floor space is not compromised, and shelving sits built-in to the alcoves for books and ornamental decoration.

Spanning the front of the building with windows almost covering the westerly elevation, the living room feels bright and airy with ample space for comfortable sofas and chairs, plus a dining table or workspace should you require one for working from home. Engineered wood flooring and fresh white walls offer a blank canvas to new owners while suiting all styles of furnishing.

Stairs rise to the principal bedroom on the second floor which sits alongside the modern bathroom with a shower over the bath. Elevated higher in the house, this bedroom is ultimately peaceful, taking in the best of the views over Preston Park towards the rolling hills of the South Downs. Built-in shelving and drawers complement natural wood floorboards while maximising the floor space for a king size bed.

Vendor’s Comments:
‘Moving down from London it was the peace and quiet we first noticed living here. We couldn’t believe we could have such lovely green views for somewhere so close to the city. There is also a lovely sense of community in the road and you can walk to the station or down to Seven Dials in minutes so its hugely convenient.’

This is a stylish apartment which sits in a popular location which is well served for shops, parks and transport links. There are plenty of local green spaces, but you are also only a short walk or drive from everything this vibrant coastal city has to offer. The A23/A27 and Preston Park Station are also within easy reach, for those requiring fast links to Gatwick or London on a daily or weekly basis.
