Split level, with sole access to a sunny rear garden and with its own street
entrance, this one - bedroom flat feels deceptively spacious and is naturally
light. It has undergone some redecoration in recent months, so it is ready to
move straight into, yet it is also a blank canvas for first - time buyers
looking to put their own stamp on the place. It sits on the lower ground floor
of a Victorian townhouse in Brighton’s Roundhill Conservation Area,
benefitting from glorious, far - reaching views to the rear which can be enjoyed
from the main reception and the garden.
Brighton’s bohemian North Laine Shopping District is on your doorstep, hosting
a plethora of cafes, restaurants and boutique shops, or there are several
local supermarkets and gastro pubs nearby. Transport links are excellent with
Brighton and London Road Stations within walking distance offering links to
the universities and London, and the beach is just 20 - minutes on foot. With so
many brilliant features, this home will appeal to professionals, commuters and
investors alike.

Why you’ll like it:
Elevated part - way up Wakefield Road on one of Brighton’s famous hills, this
apartment enjoys natural light and views; unlike so many lower ground floor
apartments. It also feels private with its own street entrance accessed down a
few stone steps and its split - level layout adds to the feeling of space.
Upon entry, the kitchen is immediately to the left with modern cabinetry
providing plenty of storage and space for a freestanding gas cooker and
another under counter appliance. Next door, with a westerly aspect, the living
room has space for dining and relaxation – and while it is street facing, it
is perfectly private due to its lower ground position, while allowing the
afternoon light to stream in.
Peacefully positioned to the rear, the bedroom shares the same generous
proportions and neutral palette as the living room, but with a wide bay window
to bring in the first of the distant views over the city to Brighton
Racecourse in the east. There is ample space for a king size bed and
freestanding bedroom furnishings to include a dressing table in the bay if
need be.
Stepping down, you come to the bathroom which is spacious and modern with
porcelain stone tiling and a rainfall shower over the bath. Also on this
level, a door opens to the garden which is a great size for a city pad. It has
border walls and glorious views, plus a lawn with space for summer barbecues.
It faces east but is open to the south, receiving plenty of sunshine
throughout the day, and it is nicely low - maintenance, ready for the modern
lifestyle.
Agent’s thoughts:
Well - presented, naturally light and spacious, this home will attract
professionals looking to live in a vibrant community close to the city and
excellent transport links.
Owner’s thoughts:
“I was impressed with the natural light in the flat when I first bought it.
The garden is a huge bonus during the summer, and you cannot beat the location
for convenience as the city, beach and stations are so easily accessible. ”
