INTERNAL VIEWINGS AVAILABLE ON REQUEST.

Ideally located for Brighton’s bohemian North Laine Shopping District and Brighton Mainline Station, this newly renovated and stylish three-bedroom apartment will appeal to investors and home seekers looking to buy in a vibrant part of the city. Its location, close to university links and the amenities on nearby London Road would make this an ideal student let which would see an excellent return on any investment, or for professional sharers who would appreciate the excellent transport links nearby. The potential to bring in £27,000 p/a offers an appealing 8% return and the flat comes with a 3 bed HMO in place.

With a bright and airy open plan living room and dining room, and three double bedrooms, it feels deceptively spacious and is surprisingly quiet for a city centre property due to its elevation on the second floor and energy efficient double glazing.

You are also just moments from the newly regenerated Open Market and Preston Circus which provide local shopping amenities and entertainment, including several gyms, a vibrant café culture and plenty of gastro pubs. The beach and prom are also within walking distance as are many open green spaces to be enjoyed throughout the summer months – so it would also appeal as a short-term holiday let for visitors to the city.

Why you’ll like it:
On a quiet commercial terrace in a Victorian property, this attractive three-bedroom flat is peacefully positioned on the top floor. Entering from the street, there is a spacious communal entrance with bike storage and stairs rising to the entrance to this flat on the first floor. Once inside, the entrance hall is bright and well-lit, with space to hang coats. An internal staircase rises to the main body of the apartment while the shower room sits at this level with a roomy cubicle lined in brick tiles in white against green walls for a clean and stylish aesthetic.

Stepping up into the flat, it is immediately clear this is a beautifully styled space with immaculate finishes and carefully curated spaces which maximise the natural light. Two internal windows bring borrowed light through to the hallway which has all three bedrooms to one side with the reception room spanning the other.

Moving through the open plan living room, there are clearly defined areas for relaxation, formal dining and cooking in the kitchen which has been well-designed for the space to include plenty of integrated storage alongside the oven and electric hob, leaving space for a freestanding fridge freezer, washer-dryer and dishwasher – all of which are new & included with the sale. A small step in the seating area leads to a TV snug, or alternatively this space would be ideal as a study for working from home. As a top floor apartment, the ceiling is vaulted with large scale Velux windows opening to create a Juliet balcony, so a cool breeze can flow through during the warmer seasons. The natural light is also incredible, and the views are private over rooftops below open skies.

All three bedrooms are double with striped carpet and space for either small double or standard double beds. They have been dressed beautifully, with all furnishings available by separate negotiation should the purchaser wish to let the property immediately. Velux windows allow for stargazing on clear nights where energy efficient double glazing ensures a warm and restful night’s sleep.
