Description
***Guide Price £360,000 - £385,000***
Positioned directly opposite one of Brighton's most celebrated green spaces, this beautifully proportioned apartment occupies an elegant semi-detached red brick Victorian residence within the highly regarded Preston Park Conservation Area. Combining impressive period proportions, a private entrance, wonderful natural light, a south-facing patio area and off-street residents' parking, it presents a rare opportunity to enjoy one of the city's most desirable residential settings.
Extending to approximately 696 sq ft (64.7 sq m), the apartment immediately impresses with its sense of space and character. High ceilings, large sash windows and beautifully balanced room proportions create a bright and welcoming interior throughout, whilst the westerly aspect to the front allows the principal reception room to enjoy an abundance of afternoon and evening sunshine. Original period features further enhance the warmth and timeless appeal of the home.
At the heart of the property is a magnificent sitting and dining room extending to over twenty feet in length. A large sash window frames attractive views across to Preston Park whilst filling the room with natural afternoon and evening light, creating an exceptional space for both entertaining and everyday living. The impressive proportions and ceiling heights are synonymous with Brighton's finest Victorian homes.
The separate kitchen is thoughtfully arranged, offering ample preparation space and storage, making it both practical and well suited to modern living.
Beyond the principal living space, the apartment continues to impress with a generous principal bedroom overlooking the patio area, together with a further bedroom offering excellent flexibility as a child's bedroom, nursery, guest room or home office. A spacious family bathroom completes the accommodation.
Outside, the apartment enjoys a delightful south-facing patio area, providing an attractive space to sit and enjoy the sunshine throughout the warmer months. Residents also benefit from off-street parking on a first-come, first-served basis, a particularly valuable asset in this highly sought-after location. In addition, the current owners make informal use of the under-stair vaults for additional storage.
The Setting.
Preston Park remains one of Brighton's most enduringly desirable residential neighbourhoods, renowned for its elegant Victorian architecture, broad tree-lined avenues and exceptional sense of community.
Positioned directly opposite Preston Park itself, the apartment enjoys immediate access to one of the city's finest green spaces. Spanning more than sixty acres, the park offers tennis courts, cafés, formal gardens, children's play areas, a velodrome and expansive open parkland, making it a destination enjoyed throughout the year.
The surrounding neighbourhood offers an exceptional balance between city living and village atmosphere. Preston Drove and nearby Fiveways provide an excellent selection of independent cafés, restaurants, delicatessens and everyday amenities, whilst the ever-popular Florence Road Market has become a Saturday morning institution for artisan produce, local makers and street food. The Florence Road Café is also a firm local favourite, serving excellent coffee, fresh bread and locally sourced produce throughout the week.
Families continue to be drawn to Preston Park by its outstanding educational provision. Downs Infant and Junior Schools, Stanford Infant and Junior Schools, Balfour Primary School, Dorothy Stringer School, Varndean School and Varndean College are all within comfortable walking distance.
For commuters, both Preston Park Station and Brighton Station provide regular direct services to London Victoria and London Bridge, whilst frequent bus services connect the area with Brighton city centre and the seafront. The A23 and A27 are also easily accessible, providing excellent road connections beyond the city.
