Description

***Guide Price £315,000 - £335,000***

Situated in a handsome four-storey Victorian building on York Road, with a stucco façade and bay windows, this beautiful two-bedroom property falls within the highly desirable Brunswick Town conservation area.

Inside the apartment, there is a superb open-plan kitchen/living/dining room that spans the full width of the property and enjoys beautiful light from its westerly-facing bay window, which is over two metres wide. The bay has a built-in window seat with storage under and wood panelling to either side. The lounge area is centred around an open fire, and the original floorboards have been stripped here, in the hall and in one bedroom, enhancing the sense of continuity and character. The kitchen is arranged to one side, with cabinets painted in a neutral tone and topped with a solid wood counter. Open shelves above add a stylish and contemporary touch and allow for the display of crockery, books, plants or storage jars. There is a tiled splashback, an electric fan oven with grill, and a four-burner gas hob. There is an integrated dishwasher and space for a washing machine, as well as space for a freestanding fridge freezer. A white ceramic sink has an integral drainer and a swan neck tap.

The main bedroom is at the rear of the property and is over four metres in length, with windows to the east and south. It includes a built-in wardrobe. The second bedroom is currently being used as a home office, with a platform bed built above, accessed via a ladder. The bathroom is a stylish space, with white hand basin and bath, and a high-level WC cistern.

A Worcester combi boiler (with nest controller) is housed in the second bedroom. Just outside the apartment, off the communal landing, is a private cupboard providing convenient storage for coats and shoes.

York Road is perfectly situated, a few minutes walk from the seafront and just moments from all the independent retailers, restaurants and cafés on Western Road. Particular favourites of the current owners are Real Patisserie, City Books and the Wine Barrel. Hove Station and Brighton Station are both walkable, and the no. 18 bus will take you from Montpelier Road to Brighton Station in five minutes. Close by, to the north of the property, St Ann's Well Gardens is one of the city's much-loved parks and has a café and tennis courts.
