Why you’ll like it:
Brunswick Town epitomises everything that is great about the city as it remains one of the most prestigious locations to live in Brighton & Hove. This generous, one-bedroom garden flat is nestled in amongst it all with easy access on the ground floor of an attractive semi-detached Victorian house on Cambridge Road.

While the hubbub of Western Road is just a stone’s throw away, this road remains peaceful, and the building has plenty of kerb appeal with a gabled façade of pale gault brick adorned with architectural features of the era. The communal ways are well-maintained, and upon entry, your eye is immediately drawn to the living room, where light streams in through the arched sash windows with facing west within the box bay. Wooden floors have been modernised and a generous window seat has been built within the bay. There is ample space for relaxed seating and formal dining alongside the kitchen which is open to the room. Period features have been retained within the sash windows, picture rails and classic cornicing, while more recently, shelves and storage have been created within the alcoves.

Newly renovated with stylish olive walls, cream Shaker cabinetry and solid oak worktops, the kitchen accentuates the living room, neatly recessed to the rear of the space. It has been well designed to include plenty of storage alongside an integrated oven and hob, while the fridge freezer and washing machine are freestanding but seamlessly fitted and may be negotiable with the sale.

Moving through the flat, the bathroom is contemporary with dark wall tiles around the white bath suite with rainfall shower above. Next door, to the rear of the house leading directly out to the garden, the bedroom is a magical haven with exquisite views through French doors. Peacefully positioned within the building, you can always ensure a restful night’s sleep. There is ample space for a king size bed and freestanding furnishings, while more useful shelving is built-in to the alcoves.

Stepping out to the garden, beautiful, patterned floor tiles bring the feel of the Mediterranean, adding a pop of colour to even the greyest day. Surrounded by mature plants and greenery, it feels wonderfully private for an inner-city space, with room to entertain friends, enjoying drinks and dining alfresco. Steps lead up to the raised terrace, laid with shingle, reminiscent of the nearby beach, which is also perfectly low maintenance, ready for the modern lifestyle.

This spacious flat is situated in a popular area with lots of local shops and the beach nearby. The city centre shopping districts and parks are also within easy reach, and this house also offers easy access to both Brighton and Hove Stations which have direct and fast links to the universities, airports and London.
