Guide price £260,000 - £270,000. Quiet lower-ground flat on Upper Lewes Road with double bedroom, open-plan living, and private south-facing garden.

The Property

Perfectly placed on Upper Lewes Road, this apartment puts you in easy reach of both the buzz of Brighton and the calm of the countryside. Set on the lower ground floor of a converted house with just one neighbour above, the flat feels wonderfully quiet and private. Thoughtful design touches make the most of every inch - from sliding doors that save space to cleverly integrated storage - and original features, such as the parquet flooring that runs through the living space, add warmth and character. The current owners have loved living here for the past four years, and the home is very much turnkey.

Steps lead down to a smart entrance, where you’ll find a useful outdoor storage unit. Inside, a light mural in the hallway draws you in towards the main living space. At the front of the flat, the double bedroom looks out onto the greenery of the front entrance and has ample built-in storage, soft LED lighting, and a charming cubby nook above the bed making it a peaceful spot to start and end the day.

The open-plan living and kitchen area is at the heart of the home. There’s space for a sofa and dining table, with a brick feature fireplace framing a 19th-century ornamental French wood burner. Bespoke oak storage has been beautifully built in, and a foldaway desk opens in front of the French doors to the garden making it an inspiring place to work from home. The kitchen, custom-designed and fitted by the previous owner, makes perfect use of the space both practically and visually.

Beyond, the bathroom combines modern comfort with classic style: A large corner tub with shower over, hexagonal floor tiles, white subway walls, and frosted glass that offers a blurred view of the green garden outside.

The south-facing garden is a true little haven - peaceful, private, and backing onto other neighbouring gardens. There’s a storage cupboard for tools, a patio and lawn area, and mature planting that includes a grapevine, hops (currently used by the owners for home-brewing), and a vegetable patch. A built-in seating area makes it easy to relax outside, while an outdoor socket is handy for lighting or running the lawnmower. Easy to maintain and full of charm, it’s a lovely extension of the living space in warmer months.
