Why you’ll like it:
Finished in 2000, these smart red and gault brick low rise apartments have a modern feel, yet they are in keeping with their older neighbours. They stand in a gated development set well back from the road and surrounded by landscaped communal gardens, giving them air of exclusivity from the moment you enter.

Being purpose built, this flat is solid: well insulated for sound and heat, and all rooms are generously sized. You access the car park through the secure gates on Palmeira Avenue where there are lifts rising to your floor. Alternatively, you can enter on foot from Davigdor Road where a secure video entry system allows you to welcome guests, or you can enter with ease using a key fob.

Stepping inside, you enter a wide and welcoming hallway with space for organising shoes and coats, and there are storage cupboards for household items to ensure the flat remains clutter free.

There are two double bedrooms; both with soft fawn carpet underfoot and double-glazed windows with open, private views, so you can always ensure a restful night’s sleep. The principal bedroom also benefits from a wall of built in wardrobes which maximise the floor space alongside a en suite shower room, while bedroom two has use of the family bathroom nearby which has a similar décor in grey and white, but with a shower attachment over the bath.

Bright and airy, the living room is an attractive space with engineered wood flooring flowing in from the hall and fresh white walls which will suit all styles of modern furnishing. There is ample space for formal dining and relaxation in here, alongside the kitchen next door which has plenty of storage and some integrated appliances, leaving space and plumbing for both a washing machine and a dishwasher.

This spacious flat is situated in a popular area with lots of local shops and the beach on your doorstep. The city centre shopping districts and parks are also within easy reach, and this flat also offers easy access to both Brighton and Hove Stations which have direct and fast links to the airports and London.
