Carlton House, Preston Road, Brighton, Brighton & Hove

Listed 23 Sept 2026 · price reduced 21 Oct 2026 · Brighton
**Guide Price: £250,000 - £275,000**
Set within the impressive Shawcross House on Preston Road, this beautifully presented one-bedroom apartment offers an unusually generous 534 sq ft (49.6 sq m) of accommodation, combining characterful proportions with contemporary finishes, excellent storage and the considerable benefit of its own allocated parking space.
The standout reception room is particularly impressive, extending to over 15ft and centred around a large bay window which draws plenty of natural light into the room. Its generous proportions provide ample space for both comfortable seating and a dining area, making it considerably more versatile than many one-bedroom apartments.
The separate kitchen has been thoughtfully arranged with a good range of cabinetry and worktop space, integrated cooking appliances and a useful breakfast bar — ideal for everyday dining or working from home.
The double bedroom is another exceptionally generous room, measuring over 18ft into the bay, with plenty of space for wardrobes and additional furniture without compromising the feeling of space.
A real highlight is the recently updated shower room, finished in a striking contemporary style with wood-effect feature tiling, geometric flooring, black fittings, a large walk-in shower and modern vanity unit.
Storage is another particular strength. There is a substantial cupboard off the hallway as well as loft storage, an unusual and very useful addition for an apartment of this size.
Externally, the property benefits from communal garden areas and, importantly, its own numbered allocated parking bay.
Positioned on Preston Road, the apartment is conveniently located for the amenities of Preston Park and Preston Village, with green open spaces nearby and excellent transport connections into central Brighton and beyond. The property is currently vacant and offered with no onward chain, making it an excellent option for first-time buyers, commuters or anyone looking for a spacious and well-presented Brighton apartment with the increasingly rare advantage of private allocated parking.
