Stylish, central and good to go, this 2 bed ground floor apartment with a south facing balcony offers a sophisticated city lifestyle just off the buzz of Lewes Road with Brighton University buildings within walking distance, the city centre at the Level a 10 min walk and Brighton Station’s direct trains to Gatwick and London 10 mins by cab. Hidden away on no through road with plenty of permit parking, it is quieter than its fashionable location might suggest and inside 40.27m2 (433.46 sq. ft.) of big, bright rooms blend a contemporary finish with grand, period proportions.

Ideal for professionals, investors or a small family this secret retreat has an open plan living room with plenty of space to entertain where the streamlined kitchen is tucked away in its own space so doesn’t dominate the room. The central shower room is a luxury refuge and the restful double bedrooms don’t share a wall, the principal opening to the sunny balcony. A sought after location, bus routes along London Road will take you into the city and its beaches or out to Sussex University and Lewes, whilst around the corner, Bear Road will deliver you to Brighton General Hospital or open countryside in minutes.

Why You’ll Like It:
Lewes Road is a great place to be, its eclectic mix of exotic street food from around the globe, vintage clothing, antique shops, independent boutiques and fresh produce making it a magnet for locals and tourists – and just a 10 min stroll takes you to the leafy Level at the foot of the North Laine which also hosts events from foodie festivals to fairgrounds.

Tucked up and back from a peaceful no through road where the permit parking has no list, this gracious apartment spans the whole of the ground floor of a classic Victorian terraced house. With big windows and high ceilings in every room it is full of light and the front door opens to a spacious, central hallway, so first impressions are good!

Ahead, the elegant living dining room is a classic beauty with a big bay window to bathe the room with light and generous floorspace in which to create defined seating and eating areas where you can relax or enjoy time with friends and family. Skilfully designed, the kitchen is tucked into its own space, so it doesn’t dominate the whole room and it is good to go with a central electric hob and oven beneath a hood, integrated fridge and washing machine, streamlined units, and gleaming wood surfaces.

Next door, the first of the double bedrooms is quiet and comfortable with garden views and next door, the luxury shower room has a high end finish – and also ensures the bedrooms don’t share a wall.

At the far end of the apartment, the principal bedroom is a private refuge, light and airy with simple but stylish decoration, and it opens to a balcony large enough for breakfast on this fabulous, south facing suntrap.

Agent’s Thoughts
“This is a laid back, unpretentious area which appeals to families, professionals and investors with vibrant local amenities on the doorstep – but out of hearing- the cultural heart of the city within walking distance and the sea and the Downs easy to reach.”

Owner’s secret
“The apartment is big, bright and easy to live in. We love the elegant proportions of the rooms and leafy views from the bedrooms so you don’t feel hemmed in even though its just 5 mins drive to the city centre. We have enjoyed having both the countryside and the sea nearby as we run and cycle – you’re on the Downs or the seafront in minutes. The no through street is friendly and quiet but convenient with everything you could possibly need on the doorstep and has a mix of people as this is a great spot if you’re a couple, an older person or a family. There is always something to do whatever you’re into and in the evenings, you won’t need to use the car to go to restaurants or theatres as you can walk or bus everywhere.”
