Springfield Road is a residential street which runs west off Ditchling Road, close to Preston Circus. This is an extremely convenient location, with Brighton Station within walking distance and London Road station two minutes away. There is also a choice of bus routes on Ditchling Road or on Beaconsfield Road, at the other end of the street. The Duke of York's Picture House, moments away, is Brighton’s oldest and much-loved cinema. London Road and Baker Street are home to many popular cafés and restaurants and the Open Market has plaza traders, independent shops and artist’s studios. This area is renowned for its wide choice of pubs, including the Open House and the Signalman just around the corner. You are also only a few minutes from Preston Park which has two cafés, tennis courts, and a velodrome, as well as open green spaces for picnics and gatherings.

This one-bedroom garden flat has all the period charm you would expect from a Victorian property and an incredible garden, with two separate areas. It extends over twenty metres and widens at the back, across the width of two other gardens in adjoining properties.

The entrance to the flat is on the raised ground floor via a communal hallway. At the front of the property is a living room with high ceilings, wooden floors, a three-sash bay window and a fireplace with a marble surround. At the window, there are white louvred shutters. Behind is the bedroom, a double room with two built-in cupboards in alcoves and a window overlooking the rear gardens. The bathroom is beautifully designed and fitted in a contemporary style, with a waterfall shower over the bath and a separate hand-held shower attachment. The taps and shower fittings are in matte black and the shower screen also has a black surround. The floor is tiled with hexagonal floor tiles and there is a matte black towel rail.

At the back of the flat is the kitchen, which has gloss units, in red, and wooden worktops. There is a gas hob, an electric fan oven, space for a fridge, space for a dishwasher and space for a washing machine. The boiler is a Vaillant EcoTEC Pro 30. A door from the kitchen opens onto a south-facing sun deck where you can easily step out and enjoy a quick coffee and admire the garden below. Steps down from the deck lead to the extraordinary garden which is exceptionally large for a city centre, especially in Brighton where gardens like this are rare. This flat has a larger plot than neighbouring gardens, as it widens considerably at the back.

What the owner says:

“We couldn’t love living in this flat more with its large sun-trap windows and beautiful high ornate ceilings. It lends itself to all year living, from the magical south facing garden and decking in the back through the summer, ideal for that morning coffee, to the superb living room fireplace in the winter.

The location is perfect with the fantastic Open House pub just on the corner, Blaker’s and Preston parks a short stroll away for our daily walks, and a great selection of shops and cafes, ranging from delicatessen to vegan grocers, make this area idyllic.

Transport into Brighton is easy, with the Laines and the train station no more than 10 minutes walk away. For even easier travel, London Road station takes all of 2 minutes to reach Brighton station. This makes commuting into Brighton or even to London extremely simple.”
