Why you’ll like it:
The Approach:
If you have a busy lifestyle this is the perfect retreat, tucked away in a well -connected, area with a relaxed, social vibe. Chic, central and secure, this striking, 2001 building (with cricketer weathervanes) is set back from the road in its own grounds. There’s remote controlled access to the garage which is sheltered beneath the building where a lift will take you to the ground floor, and this apartment shares a hushed lobby with only one other home.

The Entrance Hall:
The front door opens to an inviting hallway where meticulous attention to detail includes several large cupboards providing plenty of storage – and it is worth noting that there is ample, custom made storage throughout the apartment which is an underrated but fundamentally important aspect particularly in a city apartment. And the wow factor starts as soon as you step into the broad, central hall which looks through to the stunning views over the County ground.

The Living Room and Sun Terrace:
Ahead, sunlight streams through the stunning reception where the views are breath-taking. With ample space for together time or entertaining at any time of year you can relax in front of a stylish fireplace where a flame effect fire ensures a warm welcome whilst the west wall of glass slides across to the spacious terrace, ideal for a sunny, al fresco lifestyle – and enjoying the matches. Elegant decoration includes good grade carpet underfoot and the decoration is calm to keep the focus on the astonishing view, which you can enjoy even whilst seated.

Looking over the scented communal garden below, with no passing traffic, the tiled terrace is an oasis of calm in the city which spans a generous 6.14 x 3.45m (20’2 x11’4) where friends and family can bathe in the Sussex sunshine and relax in this exclusive location. West facing and open to the south you can follow the sun from mid-morning to its setting, and the cricket ground also hosts occasional events which you’ll have front seats for!

The Kitchen Dining Room:
Designed for everyday but also perfect for parties, the streamlined kitchen dining room has a corner of glass to frame the view, with plenty of space for a big table, and a door to the terrace for seamless entertaining. With 2.40 x 8.61m (7’11 x 28’3) the kitchen area is expertly planned. Streamlined units deliver ample storage whilst granite working surfaces gleam beneath a choice of lighting levels. High spec appliances include a Neff gas hob beneath a hood, both a Neff grill/combi and a fan oven in a tower to prevent heavy lifting and a microwave. Good to go, the fridge, freezer, dishwasher and washer dryer are also integrated for you concealed Neff washer dryer is also integrated for you – and don’t forget that the hood is also incredibly efficient at removing any aromas.

The Guest Bedroom, Family Bedroom and Luxury Bathroom:
A secret retreat which is not overlooked, the generous guest room is a beauty, ready for visitors with calm decoration and picture perfect views over manicured playing fields. Just opposite, the contemporary bathroom has an immaculate finish with a shower attachment on the bath and touches of luxury include a down-lit vanity unit surrounding the hand basin, a shaving point and heated rails for towels.

Tucked away, the family bedroom is simple but stylish looking over the tree-lined avenue for the morning sunlight, and the vendors are willing to discuss the stylish wardrobes in situ.

The Principal Bedroom Suite:
Committed to quiet comfort and all about relaxing, the principal bedroom is privately set within an inner lobby and spreads its wings across 3.36 x 5.42m (11’10 x 17’2). With organised wardrobe space to fill and décor you won’t need to change, it’s a dream come true with a dressing room lined with more storage, and a chic en-suite shower room with natural light where high-end fittings include a Mira shower, a shaving/toothbrush point and warming rails for towels.

Agent Says:
“Homes in this exclusive development backing directly onto the cricket ground just don’t appear on the market very often, and this elegant apartment with a big sunny terrace and secure garage is a rare find. The fabulous views also make it very private as well as light, and ideal for professionals or families it’s convenient for the city and stations serving Gatwick and London with parks, good schools and a variety of amenities on the doorstep.”

Owners’ secret:
“Sussex View has been a wonderful, welcoming home for us and a glamorous place to stay for family and friends. An ideal easy care, lock up and leave with secure parking for ease of mind when you’re away, the location is also super convenient for the station’s direct trains to Gatwick and London – a 10 min walk or short drive. There’s a convenience store and a bistro pub just at the top of the avenue (under 5 mins walk and out of hearing) and the vibrant bars and restaurants of both Church Road and Western Road are just a few mins away on foot if you don’t want to take a bus or cab. For somewhere so central it is very peaceful here and you can watch the cricket whilst the sun goes by from the terrace. We loved to sit outside to plan the weekend over a chilled glass in hand, (there is always something to do or see in this coastal city), but it is now time for us to let someone else enjoy it, and we hope that you will love it as much as we have.”
