Wellend Villas, Brighton

Spacious one-bedroom apartment in the sought-after Wellend Villas development. The property benefits from a private balcony and has access to a communal roof terrace and gardens.

The apartment is located on the top floor of the building. Entry on the ground floor is controlled by a secure entry-phone system, leading to well-maintained communal areas with a lift to the fifth floor.

Once inside the apartment, the entrance hall has a useful coat cupboard, and neutral-toned carpet runs from here into the bedroom and living area, creating a sense of warmth and continuity throughout the space.

The owner has undertaken various improvements over the last two years, including the boiler being replaced last year and upgrading the electrics in the apartment in 2023. Further improvements include a new fridge-freezer, oven, washing machine, bathroom refit, and redecoration, including the carpets.

A generous open-plan living, dining, and kitchen area extends over 8 metres, with a door onto the private balcony. There is plenty of room for both relaxed seating and a dining table, while the kitchen is arranged in a separate zone at one end of the room. The kitchen is fitted with a range of beech-coloured units complemented by black countertops. Integrated appliances include a gas hob, an electric fan oven, a fridge freezer and a washing machine. The kitchen has a tiled floor with a white mosaic tiled splashback.

The double bedroom is a good size and has a built-in wardrobe. In the bathroom, you will find a modern white suite, including a bath with a shower above.

In addition to the private balcony, as a resident, you will enjoy access to a large communal roof terrace with far-reaching urban views.

The property is situated on Springfield Road, just south of Preston Park, which has large open spaces, tennis courts, a velodrome and two places to grab a coffee and a bite to eat - the Rotunda Café or the Chalet Café. The Duke of York's Picturehouse, Brighton's much-loved and oldest cinema, is moments away at Preston Circus, screening a huge variety of films throughout the week. St Augustine's Arts & Events Centre, which has a yoga studio and a café, is a few moments away. A stroll down London Road will bring you to the vibrant Open Market which is home to independent shops, artists' studios and plaza traders, with stalls selling handmade arts and crafts and delicious food. There are great local pubs and restaurants including the Open House, Signalman, Jolly Brewer, Preston Park Tavern and the Roundhill, all close by. The newest addition to the area is the already much-talked-about Luna Hut Sauna Café, where you can enjoy a sauna and coffee under the viaduct. Brighton Mainline station is a 15-20 minute walk, with direct services to London Bridge and Victoria. London Road station is a ten-minute walk, with services to Lewes and beyond. Several bus routes run close by including the 5, 5A and 5B which will take you straight into town.
