Set within a well-established purpose-built development on London Road, this spacious two-bedroom apartment occupies the third and top floor, offering the peace and privacy that comes with having no one living above you, while the lift makes reaching the apartment easy and convenient.

London Road has seen extensive development since the 1960s and 70s, with a number of purpose-built blocks set back from the road amongst mature greenery. This particular development has a pleasant sense of space around it, and from the moment you arrive there is a feeling that this is a home designed around generous proportions rather than trying to squeeze as much as possible into a smaller footprint.

Step inside and the size of the apartment becomes immediately apparent. The living room is a particularly impressive space, with plenty of room for a comfortable seating area as well as a dining table. There is flexibility here to arrange the room in different ways, whether that means creating a generous entertaining space, a cosy area to relax in the evenings or simply taking advantage of the room's proportions with larger furniture.

The kitchen sits conveniently alongside the living accommodation and has a practical layout with useful storage and workspace. It is a space that could be refreshed and modernised to suit individual taste, giving the next owner the opportunity to create something that feels personal rather than inheriting someone else's idea of a finished kitchen.

Both bedrooms are comfortable doubles, with the kind of proportions that are becoming increasingly difficult to find in modern apartments. There is ample space for beds, wardrobes and additional furniture, while the top-floor position adds to the feeling of privacy and quiet. Whether used as bedrooms, a home office or a combination of the two, there is plenty of flexibility.

The bathroom is conveniently positioned within the apartment and provides a practical space for everyday use, with further scope for updating if desired.

One of the real attractions of the property is the combination of its generous size and top-floor position. There is something particularly appealing about coming home to the highest floor of the building, knowing there is no apartment above, while the lift means that being on the third floor does not come with the inconvenience sometimes associated with top-floor living.

The location is equally practical. Withdean Park is only around five minutes away on foot, giving you a great nearby green space for walks and fresh air, while local shops are also within easy reach. Preston Park station is approximately a 15-minute walk away, providing convenient rail connections, and Brighton city centre and the seafront are easily accessible by bus or car.

There is also plenty of scope here for someone looking to put their own mark on a home. The underlying proportions are excellent, the layout is straightforward and practical, and the apartment offers the sort of space that works equally well for a first-time buyer, someone looking to downsize without compromising on room, or an investor looking for a property with the potential to improve over time.

Overall, this is a spacious and peaceful two-bedroom top-floor flat in a well-established purpose-built development, with the added benefit of lift access and a location that puts parks, shops, transport and the city within easy reach. It is a property with good bones, generous rooms and plenty of opportunity to create a home that feels completely your own.
