Highcroft Villas, Brighton BN1

Set on the raised ground floor of an attractive period building on Highcroft Villas, this beautifully proportioned one-bedroom apartment brings together generous rooms, high ceilings and original character, with far-reaching views across Brighton towards the South Downs.

The living room sits at the front of the property, where a large sash bay window fills the space with natural light. Original coving, picture and dado rails, built-in shelving and a cast-iron fireplace give the room its character, while the generous proportions leave plenty of space for both comfortable seating and a dining table or workspace.

To the rear, the bedroom is another wonderfully light and spacious room. Its large bay window takes full advantage of the elevated position, framing views across the rooftops of Brighton and towards the South Downs beyond – a particularly lovely backdrop to wake up to.

The separate kitchen is practical and well arranged, with plenty of storage and worktop space, an integrated oven and hob, and room for a dishwasher, washing machine and fridge freezer. The bathroom features an alcove bath with shower, as well as vanity storage, shelving and the benefit of its own window

Two built-in cupboards sit discreetly off the hallway, providing useful storage without taking anything away from the main living spaces.

Throughout the apartment, the combination of high ceilings, large sash windows and original details gives the rooms a wonderful sense of light and character. It feels spacious without losing its warmth – a comfortable Brighton home with views towards the Downs and Seven Dials, Preston Park and the city all within easy reach.
