Wellend Villas, Brighton BN1

Description

Spacious one-bedroom apartment in the sought-after Wellend Villas development. The property benefits from a private southwest-facing balcony and has access to a communal roof terrace and gardens.

The apartment is located on the top floor of the building. Entry on the ground floor is controlled by a secure entry-phone system, leading to well-maintained communal areas with a lift to the fifth floor.

Once inside the apartment, the entrance hall has a useful coat cupboard and attractive wood-effect vinyl flooring runs from here into the bedroom and living area, giving continuity to the space.

A generous open-plan living, dining, and kitchen area extends over 8 metres, with a door onto the private balcony, which enjoys views of Brighton's historic viaduct. There is plenty of room for both relaxed seating and a dining table, while the kitchen is arranged in a separate zone at one end of the room. The kitchen is fitted with a range of beech-coloured units complemented by black countertops. Integrated appliances include an Electrolux gas hob, an AEG electric fan oven, and a fridge freezer, with space for an integrated washing machine. The Glow-worm Flexicom 24 CX boiler is neatly housed in a kitchen cupboard. The kitchen has a tiled floor with a white mosaic tiled splashback.

The double bedroom has a window facing south-west, with attractive wood-effect flooring. In the bathroom, you will find a modern white suite, including a bath with a shower above.

In addition to the private balcony, as a resident, you will enjoy access to a large communal roof terrace with far-reaching urban views.

The property is situated on Springfield Road, just south of Preston Park, which has large open spaces, tennis courts, a velodrome and two places to grab a coffee and a bite to eat - the Rotunda Café or the Chalet Café. The Duke of York's Picturehouse, Brighton's much-loved and oldest cinema, is moments away at Preston Circus, screening a huge variety of films throughout the week. St Augustine's Arts & Events Centre, which has a yoga studio and a café, is a few moments away. A stroll down London Road will bring you to the vibrant Open Market which is home to independent shops, artists' studios and plaza traders, with stalls selling handmade arts and crafts and delicious food. There are great local pubs and restaurants including the Open House, Signalman, Jolly Brewer, Preston Park Tavern and the Roundhill, all close by. Brighton Mainline station is a 15-20 minute walk, with direct services to London Bridge and Victoria. London Road station is a ten-minute walk, with services to Lewes and beyond. Several bus routes run close by including the 5,5A and 5B which will take you straight into town.
