Guide Price £250,000 - £260,000

Well-positioned in the Preston Park area with easy access to both Brighton and Preston Park Train Stations and the amenities of Preston Road. A one-bedroom split-level, ground floor recently converted period apartment with access to well-kept communal gardens. Sold with no onward chain.

Set on the ground floor of The Old Technical College, this well-proportioned apartment forms part of a distinctive Victorian building with a fascinating educational history. Originally built as Preston Road Board School in 1880, the building later became part of Brighton’s technical college network before being thoughtfully converted for residential use.

Presented to a good standard throughout, the apartment has a contemporary open-plan living, dining and kitchen space, creating a sociable main living area. The bespoke kitchen is finished with quartz worktops, a glass splashback and integrated appliances, including an induction hob, Bosch oven, fridge freezer and dishwasher. There is a good-sized double bedroom with fitted wardrobe space and an en-suite shower room, together with a separate ground-floor WC.

The specification includes Porcelanosa tiling and Duravit sanitaryware in the bathroom, triple-glazed aluminium windows, app-controlled heating and dimmable lighting in key areas. The living space also benefits from an integral Bluetooth sound system, while usb power points and a video entry system add further convenience.

Residents have access to beautifully landscaped communal gardens, along with bicycle storage and dedicated refuse and recycling facilities.
