IDEAL FIRST TIME BUYERS FLAT.

INTERNAL VIEWINGS AVAILABLE ON REQUEST.

Ideal for first time buyers and landlord investors, this bright and sunny one-bedroom flat is a blank canvas for new owners, offering excellent value for its location in the city. It is formed from the entire raised ground floor of a tall Victorian townhouse giving it the high ceilings and proportions of the era, with wide bay sash windows to fill it with natural light from east to west. There is scope to add value with modernisation, yet it is perfectly smart should you wish to move in without changing a thing.

It is just a short stroll into the city where Brighton’s bohemian North Laine awaits with is many shops, cafes and eateries to enjoy. Both Brighton Mainline and London Road Stations are within easy walking distance for the London or university commutes, and there are excellent transport links by bus which stops at the end of the road, taking you throughout the city and beyond. With so many attractive features, it is sure to be snapped up.

Why you’ll like it:

Vere Road is peaceful, sitting tucked away from the main thoroughfare into the city. Every amenity is on your doorstep, however, including the newly regenerated Preston circus with its foodie pubs, shops, gyms – not forgetting the historic Duke of York’s Cinema.

This flat sits in an attractive, quintessentially Victorian townhouse, slightly elevated from the street, giving it privacy from within. Stepping in to the living room from the communal hallway, the ceiling is wonderfully high with tall windows almost covering the easterly wall, bringing in plenty of natural light throughout the day. There is space for formal dining within the bay and for relaxed furnishings elsewhere on carpeted flooring paired with fresh white walls.

Peacefully positioned to the rear of the building, the bedroom looks out over neighbouring gardens to the west, with a warm afternoon light filtering through a tall sash window. There is space for a double bed and freestanding furnishings, alongside a space saving rail within the alcove for hanging clothes.

Passing deep understairs storage, a few steps lead down to the kitchen which is well-designed for the space to include ample storage and open shelving alongside and integrated oven and gas hob, leaving space for a washing machine and a tall fridge freezer. The bathroom sits at the far end of the flat, fully tiled around a white bath suite with shower above it.
Agent’s thoughts:

This is a well-designed and attractive flat sitting in a highly-favoured location – so we do not expect it to sit on the market for long.

Owner’s thoughts:

“This is a really peaceful flat for somewhere so close to the city centre. It feels nicely tucked away, yet it is hugely convenient. The area is amazing with a lovely sense of community due to a mix of families and professionals.”
