Newly clad in white The Park Apartments feel contemporary and stylish, with their clean lines softened by the leafy environs and mature trees of Withdean Park. Commuter links, excellent schools and easy access to the city are a welcome bonus, but these apartments also boast private parking and residents’ access to an onsite gym and sauna.

This modern two-bedroom apartment sits elevated on the second floor with a balcony facing east to maximise the glorious park views. Each room is well-proportioned with a wealth of glazing and a smart, neutral finish throughout, having been re-decorated recently. It is a blank canvas, however, allowing plenty of scope for new owners to put their own stamp on the place.

Perfectly positioned for commuters, you are just a short walk from Preston Park Station and the A23/A27 are just minutes away, so this flat would be popular with professional sharers, smaller families and investors alike.

Why you’ll like it:
Surrounded by secure gates, mature palms and manicured plants, the newly clad Park Apartments are hugely attractive, lining London Road opposite Withdean Park. The communal ways are well-maintained with a tall steel lift or short flights of stairs taking you to the second floor where your door is clearly numbered. Stepping inside, it is a naturally light and modern space with large scale floor tiles running along the corridor and into the kitchen. There are two deep storage cupboards for coats, shoes and household items, so you can ensure the flat remains clutter free.
First to the right is the generous living and dining room where a wall of double-glazed windows frames the gorgeous leafy backdrop of Withdean Park and up Peacock Lane. There is ample space in here to dine and relax, then during the warmer weather, you can spill out on to the balcony which is covered for use throughout the year. Facing east and open to the south, the natural light on the balcony and into the living room is delightful, and the views are ever-changing with the seasons.

Conveniently across the hall, the kitchen is streamlined with fitted cabinets providing a wealth of useful storage alongside an integrated fridge freezer, oven and hob which will stay. Space and plumbing have been left for a washing machine and a dishwasher which are freestanding, so may be available by separate negotiation. Floating shelving opens up the room where no eye level cabinets are in place, offing the perfect place for glassware, plants and ornaments to decorate.

Both bedrooms are sun filled double rooms with soft carpet underfoot and energy efficient double-glazed windows to ensure a warm and restful night’s sleep. The principal room also enjoys direct access to the balcony so you can pop out for a nightcap or morning coffee to enjoy sunrise over the trees of the park. It also benefits from sole use of the en suite shower room while bedroom two has easy access to the main bathroom with gleaming white sanitaryware and a shower over the bath.

Agent’s thoughts:
These are well-maintained and popular apartments which will hold their value due to their location. In addition, you needn’t pay for a gym membership as you have a gym and sauna on-site, included within the maintenance fee.
