About this home
***Guide Price £240,000 - £250,000***
KNIGHT & KNOXLEY are delighted to present this wonderful period apartment, situated at the southern base of the open spaces of Preston Park, with a private entrance and a southwest-facing garden.
As you approach the property, steps lead down past a pretty tiered front garden to your private front door on the lower ground floor. Once inside, there is a lobby for coats and shoes before a second door opens to the generous reception room, which runs the full width of this substantial building. This room has wooden floors and fresh white walls, with a wide bay window overlooking the front garden.
Continuing along the hall, you reach the bedroom, which is another spacious room with French doors onto the lower patio. Outside, steps lead up to a pretty decked area with space for a patio table and chairs. This is a real sun trap, with a southwest aspect, meaning you can enjoy sunny summer days, well into the evening.
Back inside, the bathroom has been completely refurbished and has marble-effect tiles on the walls and floor, with matte-black fittings, including a thermostatic shower over the bath which has both a waterfall and handheld shower head. There is also a crittall-style shower screen with black trim. The kitchen is at the back of the property and has modern gloss units in a warm white and a wooden floor. There is an electric hob and fan oven, an integrated fridge freezer and an integrated washing machine.
The property is situated on Preston Road at the southern tip 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 Art's & 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, artist's 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. 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.
