Why you’ll like it:
These modern apartments remain some of the most sought-after purpose-built properties along the London Road from Preston Park. Surrounded by secure gates, mature trees and manicured plants, you enter the lobby which feels more akin to a hotel foyer with stylish artwork on the walls and slate tiles on the floor. A tall steel lift takes you up to the sixth floor where your door is clearly numbered. Stepping inside, you are welcomed into a wide entrance hall with engineered wood flooring, fresh white walls and two deep cupboards for coats and household items to ensure the flat remains clutter free.

This modern décor flows into the spacious living room to the left where a wall of almost full height double glazed windows frames the gorgeous leafy backdrop of Withdean Park. There is ample space in here to dine and relax, then during the warmer weather, you can spill out on to the balcony which is covered for use throughout the year. Facing east and open to the south, the natural light on the balcony and into the living room is delightful, and the views are ever-changing with the seasons.

Conveniently across the hall, the kitchen is elegant with fitted cabinets in deep blue, providing a wealth of useful storage alongside integrated appliances and a freestanding fridge which will stay. Solid oak worktops offer plenty of food preparation space and room for countertop gadgets for which there are several power points.


Both bedrooms are sun filled double rooms with soft carpet underfoot and energy efficient double-glazed windows to ensure a warm and restful night’s sleep. These are dual aspect in bedroom two, looking over the treetops of the park, creating a lovely sight to wake up to each day. The principal room also enjoys direct access to the balcony so you can pop out for a nightcap or morning coffee to enjoy sunrise over the trees of the park. The principal room also has a tiled en suite shower room, while the main bathroom is equally modern in white with a shower attachment over the bath.
