* Share of freehold
With a big west garden which has sea views at the back and off street parking
for two cars at the front, this refurbished 2 bedroom ground floor apartment
with level access is just 10 mins walk from Brighton General and the Royal
Sussex County Hospital, 7 from a popular primary, park and a gym, and 5 mins
by car from the sea. Ideal for health professionals, a small family or
investors, inside is stylish, bright and good to go with new double glazed
windows and doors, new electrics, a new shower room and new flooring
throughout. There’s a sociable layout where a spacious living room has a
bedroom to each side, so they don’t share a wall with each other, and opposite
the shower room the eat in kitchen is by the door to the garden for seamless
entertaining. This is a great spot to be with a friendly local High Street
with cafés, a chemist and a Co - Op close to the al fresco lifestyle of Kemptown
Village where the beaches have bars, cafes, volleyball courts, and a Lido.
Brighton Station’s direct trains to Gatwick and London are 20 mins by bus, and
it is between Eastern Road which takes you to the Royal Pavilion and historic
lanes, and Elm Grove which takes you to the Level and foot of the North Laine
on the London Road - which also takes you out of the city in minutes.
In an easy going, unpretentious area where new cafes and bars are popping up
on the High Street at the bottom of the hill as improvements to Black Rock
Beach have begun and discussions are taking place about developing a plot by
East Brighton Park – which is out of hearing. Close to the hospitals, a
popular primary and local park, with the downland acres of East Brighton Park
which also has a playground, café and sports facilities nearby, this area has
always been favoured by locals seeking space, a garden and parking, and
investors are now noticing that this it is well - connected with plentiful
parking, buses serving every part of the city as well as Sussex University,
and the legendary historic Lanes only a short cab ride.
Set back from the broad curve of the street, there is a ramp for level access
to the front door, or if you cycle, you can enter via the garden through a
secure gate by the parking, where there is a locked shed large enough for
bikes.
The smart front door opens into the sophisticated living dining room with
ample space to share and a designer finish with crisp decoration, inset
spotlights and clean lines of limed oak flooring to keep the feel current. To
the left, the first of the double rooms is simple but stylish with space for a
wardrobe behind the door, and on the other side of the living room, the second
bedroom is also ready to move into with restful garden views.
An inner lobby opens to a sleek, contemporary shower room with a dual head
shower, natural light, space for storage and a warming rail for towels.
Opposite, the eat in kitchen has space for a bistro set, ideal for sharers if
one of you are entertaining in the main room, or if your shift at the hospital
ends in the early hours, you can eat and shower without disturbing the other
bedroom. There is plenty of storage including built in shelving, working
surfaces are user friendly, there is electricity installed for the cooker of
your choice and designated space for a fridge and a freezer.
Outside, the sunny garden is far larger than many this close to the city
centre and the sea, and all inclusive, it has level access from the back door.
Stretching to the chain with the smaller portion of the garden belonging to
the apartment upstairs, it is secure behind walls and fencing, there is a
child friendly lawn and a sun drenched dining terrace with views of the sea. A
blank canvas to make your own, with so much space it inspires ideas great or
small (extension/timber cabin/greenhouse stnc!) and there is also a secure
bike store tucked away.
Agent says:
“This sophisticated garden apartment is the perfect setting for those who want
to enjoy a vibrant, seaside location with its own character and amenities but
with good transport links to the city centre, the universities, Lewes, Gatwick
and London. ”
Owner’s secret:
“All the rooms are light as you are on top of the hill and the layout is easy
to live in as well as ideal for entertaining. The garden is big and sunny with
great views of the sea from the south facing dining terrace and although
there’s lots of space here, you are just minutes from the hospital and major
employers of the city, and you don’t need to use the car at night as the buses
run late. New cafes and bars are popping up locally, including Daddy Long Legs
bistro bar and Marmalade Café, but our special secret is East Brighton Park
which has lots of playing fields, tennis courts and leads to open countryside,
and it has a great café which offers fresh takeaway coffee, a great sit down
breakfast every day of the week - English or Indian - if you’ve worked a late
shift!”
