It sits in the newly regenerated Preston Circus area; just minutes from both Brighton Station and London Road Station – both of which are ideal for commuters into London and the universities.

There is a sunny rear garden which becomes a lovely extension of the home and is a fantastic size for a city space. The green of Preston Park is also on your doorstep, as are plenty of local amenities, while the city centre and beach are within walking distance.

Why you’ll like it
With the cool, café culture of Preston Circus on your doorstep and Brighton Station just minutes away on foot, this one-bedroom garden flat sits in a hugely popular location. Set back from the road behind a paved front garden with space for refuse and recycling, the main house bears classic Victorian features with this apartment enjoying easy access on the ground floor.

While this property sits on a main road, it is immediately peaceful once inside the flat as the double glazing is great quality and traffic is slow moving as it approaches Preston Circus. Stepping inside, you are greeted into an entrance hall with a cupboard for storing coats and shoes, ensuring the flat remains clutter free.

To the front of the building, the living room is light and airy with a westerly aspect to bring warming light through during the afternoon. Soft grey carpet and white walls offer a blank canvas to suit all styles of modern furnishing or artworks, while alcoves provide spaces for sofas or a dining table and chairs if desired.

The modern palette and interior decoration flow through to the bedroom next door which is also a good size with peaceful garden views. Even with a king bed and freestanding pieces of bedroom furniture, the floor space is not compromised, and the tranquil views are a joy to wake up to.

Moving through the apartment, you next enter the kitchen where contemporary units in cool grey have been paired with dark laminate surfaces, providing plenty of storage and workspace alongside an integrated oven and hob, leaving space and plumbing for a washing machine and a tall fridge freezer. Equally streamlined, the shower room at the far end of the property gleams in white with a roomy shower cubicle and storage for toiletries.

Outside, the garden is a great size receiving plenty of light during the morning and through to the afternoon due to its easterly aspect. At the far end it is open to the south, creating a lovely spot for sunny summer lunches at the weekend. It has the original brick and flint wall on its northerly side and new fencing on its southern edge, and there are deep flower beds for planting to add colour and scent to the space.
Agent’s thoughts:
This is a very smart and modern flat in a fantastic location for professionals and commuters. There is plenty to entertain you nearby and the garden is a real bonus giving this property added value.

Owner’s thoughts:
‘This was previously a rental property for me which I have recently renovated. It has always been a hugely popular property for my tenants as there is so much to enjoy nearby with The Duke of York Cinema on the doorstep and a huge variety of gastropubs, restaurants and cafes to explore. The commute is a breeze with the station so close by and there is a lovely energy to Preston Circus.’
