Why you’ll love it

From the outside, the building makes an immediate impression with its striking bay-fronted Victorian façade. Inside, the apartment offers an ideal blend of classic period character and modern convenience. Elegant proportions typical of the era have been carefully retained, while practical upgrades have been made throughout — including updated electrics, a modern kitchen, a refreshed bathroom, combi boiler heating and energy-efficient windows to the rear.

Occupying the entire ground floor of this generous property, the flat offers an excellent amount of space. Accessed via a communal hallway shared only with the first-floor apartment, the private entrance opens into a long internal hallway with room for coats and useful understairs storage, creating a warm and functional welcome.

At the front of the home, a wide bay window draws in plenty of natural light to the beautifully presented living room. Original details have been preserved, including the floral frieze and ceiling rose, while the fireplace remains a handsome focal point with built-in shelving to either side. With fresh décor and new wool carpet, it’s ready to move straight into — whether you’re planning peaceful evenings in or entertaining friends.
Next door, overlooking the garden, the bright and airy double bedroom is a calm retreat at the end of the day. A full wall of fitted wardrobes provides smart, streamlined storage, meaning the room feels both spacious and effortlessly organised.

Centrally placed, the bathroom has been tastefully updated in a timeless black-and-white scheme. It includes a shower over the bath, a heated towel rail, and enjoys excellent natural light through two newly fitted windows.
To the rear, the thoughtfully arranged kitchen opens directly onto the superb south-facing garden. Designed with practicality in mind, it offers generous worktop space and everything within easy reach. There is a gas hob with extractor above, a grill/oven and separate fan oven set at eye level, plumbing for a washer-dryer, and space for a large fridge freezer.

Outside, the kitchen leads onto a decked terrace — ideal for morning coffee or breakfast — with steps down to a wonderfully private lawned garden bordered by fragrant planting. A second raised decked seating area catches the last of the day’s sunshine and provides plenty of space for a table and chairs.

At the far end of the garden, the property also benefits from exclusive access to an enclosed allotment-style area, ideal for growing fruit and vegetables. While this section is not included within the official property blueprint, it is landlocked (backing onto the railway embankment and London Road Station) and cannot be accessed by anyone else.

Agent says
“This is a highly sought-after part of the city with a real community feel. It’s also ideal for commuters with London Road Station around a two-minute walk away. The garden is unusually large for the area and has been landscaped beautifully.”

Owner’s secret
“We loved how easy life is here — Preston Circus and the Saturday farmers’ market are just around the corner, and London Road Station is right on the doorstep for commuting. The garden has been a real highlight: sunny, private and perfect for everything from morning coffees to relaxed dinners with friends. It’s a home that feels bright, calm and welcoming, and we’ll genuinely miss it.”

At the heart of one of the most popular districts in the city, this location’s hard to beat. Surrounded by world class shopping, international restaurants, fashionable bars and lively arts venues you’re in a vibrant part of our coastal resort – but tucked away from the crowds in an attractive tree lined street of Victorian homes you can enjoy the graceful architecture of this historic city, too. Conveniently located so the whole of Brighton & Hove is easy to reach on foot, by bus or by car, it’s close to the commercial districts and cultural heart of the city as well as Preston Park which provides cool green spaces, tennis courts, velodrome and café, and hosts events in the numerous city festivals. For commuters, the London Road Station is just a minute’s walk, both the A23 and A27 are easy to reach and at the time of writing, permit zone J has no waiting list.
