Springfield Road, Brighton

This wonderful top-floor flat is part of an impressive semi-detached Victorian property on Springfield Road. With a sunny west-facing balcony and spacious rooms, the accommodation is light and airy, and in excellent order throughout, with a modern kitchen and bathroom.

The front door of the apartment opens to a private entrance, from where stairs rise to the top-floor landing. The inclusion of this staircase within the apartment greatly enhances the sense of space, and you arrive on an open and welcoming landing from where all the rooms are accessed. At the front of the flat, with a wide, south-facing window and a west-facing balcony, there is a large reception room with space for both lounge furniture and a good-sized dining table. The balcony has aspects to the south and the west, making it ideal for catching the sun right through until sunset.

Adjacent, also enjoying south-facing light, the kitchen has sleek gloss cabinets, an electric hob with fan oven beneath, space for a fridge freezer, and an integrated Hotpoint washing machine.

The bedroom is another very generous room, and has a dual aspect, making it bright and airy like the rest of the flat. In one corner, there is a sizeable built-in storage cupboard, and the west-facing window overlooks the balcony. The flat has double glazing and electric heaters, each with timers and individual thermostats. The shower room is a modern space with large-format tiles and a generous walk-in shower with thermostatic controls. The WC and handbasin are set into a useful storage unit. The fittings and décor are in excellent condition, with the bathroom having been installed by the current owner.

Springfield Road is a short stroll from Preston Park, which has large open spaces, a children's playground, and two places to grab a coffee and a bite to eat-the Rotunda Café and the Chalet Café-as well as tennis courts and a velodrome. The Duke of York's Picturehouse, Brighton's iconic cinema, is moments away at Preston Circus. A short walk down London Road brings you to the vibrant Open Market, home to independent shops, artist studios, and plaza traders with stalls selling handmade arts and crafts, delicious food and more. There are great local pubs and restaurants including the Hare & Hounds, the Joker, the Open House, the Signalman, Preston Park Tavern, and the Roundhill, all close by. The property is ideally located for commuters, with Brighton Mainline station a short walk away, providing direct services to London Bridge and Victoria in under an hour. Even closer is London Road station, with services to Lewes and beyond. Several bus routes run nearby, including the 5, 5A, and 5B, which take you directly into town.
