Ditchling Rise, Brighton

This stylish and thoughtfully designed one-bedroom flat on Ditchling Rise has its own private entrance and a distinctive, contemporary feel throughout. Share of freehold.

Accessed via the lower ground floor, the property benefits from two entrances: a traditional front door and a set of double doors opening directly into the spacious reception area. The front patio offers plenty of space for potted plants and outdoor furniture.

Inside, the flat has been finished to a high standard, with fresh white walls, herringbone-patterned engineered flooring, column radiators, and high-quality fixtures and fittings.

The main living space combines a generous lounge area and an open-plan kitchen, divided by a neat breakfast bar. The kitchen is carefully laid out and includes a wine fridge beneath the bar, an integrated under-counter fridge and dishwasher, an electric fan oven, and a four-burner gas hob. Sleek cabinet doors and worktops are paired with a matt black sink and tap. A half-tiled wall of off-white metro tiles - with a hand-made style finish - adds character, wrapping around to form a splashback for both the sink and cooker.

Upstairs on the right, a sliding black-framed, frosted glass barn door opens into a striking bathroom. Design details include a black marble-effect sink with matt black taps, set into a recessed wall space with decorative grey and white patterned tiles. These tiles are echoed in a tiled niche above the bath. The rest of the bathroom is fully tiled in white herringbone, and fittings include a white bath with matt black taps and dual shower heads, a black-framed Crittall-style shower screen, black towel radiator, and a wall-hung toilet with concealed cistern and window above.

At the back of the flat, the double bedroom features two windows looking out to the side of the property, space for a full-size freestanding wardrobe, and a column radiator.

Ditchling Rise is ideally situated just a short walk from Preston Park, which offers wide open green spaces, tennis courts, a children's playground, a velodrome, and two cafés - The Rotunda and The Chalet. The Duke of York's Picturehouse, Brighton's iconic independent cinema, is moments away at Preston Circus. Nearby London Road offers access to the Open Market, home to independent shops, artist studios, and food stalls.

There are plenty of local pubs and restaurants within walking distance, including The Open House, Signalman, Jolly Brewer, Preston Park Tavern, and The Roundhill-an all-vegan kitchen known for its award-winning plant-based meals.

Brighton station is a short walk away, offering direct services to London Bridge and Victoria in under an hour. London Road station, even closer, provides connections to Lewes and beyond. Regular bus routes (including the 5, 5A, and 5B) offer easy access into the city centre.
