Why you’ll like it:

Sitting on the border of Clifton Hill and West Hill Conservation areas, Derwent Lodge is perfectly positioned within the city placing it within 2 minutes of the city centre and Brighton Station, making the daily London commute a breeze. It is a classic mid-century development which gives its apartments generous, well-proportioned rooms and large newly installed windows to fill them with natural light. Entering the neat communal ways, stairs rise to the third floor where this apartment is numbered.

Stepping inside, it has newly decorated white walls and cool grey newly installed wood laminate flooring flowing into the living room to the left. With a sunny southerly aspect, this room is gloriously bright with views over nearby treetops to the sea below open skies, reminding you just how close to the coast you are here. Inside, there is ample room for relaxation and formal dining, with the kitchen conveniently separated along the hall. Borrowed light filters into the kitchen via a wall of aqua blue glass bricks which complement the splashback tiles.

Newly fitted cabinetry in grey sits at base level only, below stone effect laminate worktops providing plenty of workspace for the keen cook. Space has been left for a freestanding fridge freezer, whilst there is a newly installed washing machine and cooker which will be included in the sale price. Wooden shelving at eye level opens the room while providing space for presenting glassware, cookbooks and plants. During the warmer seasons, a door opens to the balcony allowing space for drinks alfresco or simply to bring a cool breeze into the flat when needed.

Both bedrooms are double, ideal for professional sharers, with easy access to the bathroom across the hall, which is finished in classic white with mosaic wall tiles and a shower over the bath.

This bright, spacious flat is perfectly 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 home also offers easy access to Brighton Station which has direct and fast links to the universities, airports and London.
