Why you’ll like it:

Perfectly positioned close to the city centre, this apartment is just stroll from everything this vibrant coastal city has to offer. Bordered by the lush green environs of Preston Park, you get the best of both worlds, and having been built only 16 years ago (and fully refurbished in 2019), the Wellend Villas development feels contemporary.

You can enter to the front on Preston Road or to the side on Springfield Road where secure gates open to the internal courtyard where there is a raised decked area with a communal garden and space to sit out in the sunshine. A second door takes you through the communal ways where stairs where your door is clearly numbered at the end of the hall.

From the moment you enter it is clear this is a bright, spacious and modern apartment with a neutral décor, so you can move straight in or let it out immediately with ease.

The generous entrance hall is welcoming as you enter with a built-in corner cupboard for household items, coats and shoes ensuring the flat remains clutter free. Stepping through to the living room, it feels particularly spacious and light due to the wall of glazing on the westerly side. This has direct access to the raised balcony which receives the last of the summer sunshine and becomes a lovely extension of the space during warmer weather. Inside, there is ample room for comfortable furnishing and a dining table and chairs, while the kitchen is sociably open to the room. It offers a huge amount of storage in modern wood-effect units and within these, some appliances have been integrated, to include an oven, gas hob and extractor fan, while the fridge freezer and washing machine are freestanding. These may be available by separate negotiation.

Sharing the same sunny aspect, the bedroom is a lovely size where the floor space is not compromised by a king size bed and side tables due to deep built-in wardrobes. This room also looks out to the balcony and the period homes opposite, yet double glazing ensures it is quiet and restful during the night time.

Nearby across the hall, the bathroom has a classic monochrome scheme and a shower over the bath suite. While this is an internal room, it is well-lit with soothing lighting and there is built in cabinetry for toiletries.

Owner’s thoughts:
“I have loved living here for 6 years, it’s such a great location. Right next to Preston Park, easy to get into central Brighton and less than a 10-minute walk to the train station. Preston Circus has seen a huge amount of regeneration in recent years too, so there is plenty to entertain you nearby. Wellend Villas is a great development with a real sense of community and a lovely mix of residents.”
