Why you’ll like it:
Characterised by elegant townhouses on a tree lined road, Cambridge Road rises north from Western Road and Brunswick. Built during the 19th Century, these substantial homes were intended as one dwelling but have since been converted into spacious apartments such as this one. Brunswick Town has long been heralded as one of the most sought-after locations in the city, and it is easy to see why. Striking period architecture, the seaside location, excellent commuter links and a vibrant café culture all add to its appeal.

This apartment building holds a corner plot, so its entrance is on Lansdowne Road where grand double doors sit below a classic portico entrance. Within the communal ways, original stairs wend up to the upper floors where your door is clearly numbered on the third floor. Stepping inside it is immediately clear this is a bright and spacious home with high ceilings and generous proportions throughout.

Stepping inside, the eye is drawn along the corridor to the kitchen and living room sitting side by side facing west with magnificent open views from their tall sash windows. Within the sitting room, there is ample space for formal dining and relaxed seating from which to enjoy the vista which uniquely for this apartment looks over tree and rooftops to the rolling hills of the South Downs in the far distance. Teal walls complement the tones of a beautiful mountain scape wall mural which gives depth and interest to the room, but as a cosmetic feature would be easy to change if not to your taste.

Next door, the kitchen is another social and spacious room with plenty of storage and a breakfast bar alongside space for all your appliances to include a cooker, fridge freezer and a washing machine – which may be available by separate negotiation.

Both bedrooms sit peacefully to the rear of the flat with the principal room being particularly generous in size. Even with a king size bed and several pieces of freestanding bedroom furnishings, the floor space is not compromised, while bedroom two is also a lovely size, both with high ceilings and leafy treetop views from tall sash windows. They share easy access to the bathroom which has stylish teal brick wall tiles around the bath.

This generous apartment is situated in a popular area with lots of local shops and the beach nearby. The city centre shopping districts and parks are also within easy reach, and it also offers easy access to Brighton and Hove Stations which have direct and fast links to the airports and London.
