Spanning the entire first floor of a substantial, detached house, this three-bedroom apartment is uniquely spacious and filled with natural light from the south. It has been renovated and modernised in recent years with a fine finish throughout, so it is ready to move straight into, or let out immediately with ease. There is potential to extend into the large loft space to create further family bedrooms and bathrooms, plus this property also boasts a beautiful, south-facing front garden where you can sit outside to dine – a huge bonus for apartment living.

It sits in a hugely popular location, close to the amenities of fashionable Fiveways, and the transport links are excellent with both London Road and Brighton Stations within walking distance alongside a regular bus service which takes you into the city and beyond. The local schools are excellent and there is a wonderful sense of community here, so this property will be popular with families, professionals and investors alike.

Why you’ll like it:

Hollingdean hosts a thriving and vibrant community of families and professionals who flock to live here due to the excellent school catchment, transport links and spacious homes which remain within walking distance of the city centre and Brighton’s North Laine. You can hop off the bus at the nearby ‘Dip’ or take a short stroll up to Fiveways where there is a plethora of shops, cafes, and more transport options taking you across the city.

This smart and spacious three-bedroom apartment sits elevated on the hill facing south, so it is naturally light with far-reaching views from its front windows. The building has been sensitively converted into just two properties, each with their own street entrance to the front. Uniquely, this property owns the private front garden which faces south to catch the sun all day. A mature hornbeam hedge and scented borders offer privacy from the street as well as creating a beautiful green setting for the central gravel space that can easily accommodate a large table for dining outside in full sun. The porch adjacent to the garden offers opportunities for storing the garden tools and a barbecue for use as the weather warms.
From the front door, an internal staircase rises centrally up to a landing from which all rooms reside.
The eye is first drawn to the living and dining room due to sunlight streaming in from the south via a wide box bay window. This provides the perfect space for a dining table and chairs so you can watch the world go by as you eat. Elsewhere, there is ample room for comfortable sofas and the fireplace with oak mantel on an exposed brick chimney breast is a lovely feature. Partially open to the room, the kitchen feels sociable. Having been well-designed for the space, it offers a wealth of storage alongside an integrated fridge freezer, oven with induction hob and dishwasher, leaving space for a washing machine.

While bedroom three is a generous single bedroom, ideal as home study/guest bedroom, or perfectly spacious for children of all ages, there are two further double bedrooms including the principal room which shares the same sunny southerly aspect as the living room. These rooms will house double beds and freestanding wardrobes, and bedrooms two and three benefit from raised storage solutions which maximise their floor space.

All three bedrooms have easy access to the stylish shower room with metro brick wall tiles and Moroccan floor tiles in complementary tones. The bidet and WC are wall hung, adding to the feeling of space and there is a generous amount of storage below the basin and in a wall cabinet.

From the landing there is access to the large loft space with a high pitch of over 3m making it ideal for both storage or conversion. There is ample space to create a principal bedroom suite, studio room or working space which would add considerable value to the property – and planning consents are easier to come by here, just outside of the city’s conservation areas.

Agent’s thoughts:

This is the ideal home for families, sharers or investors who would be able to let it out with ease due to the favourable location and fine finish throughout.

Owner’s thoughts:

“This is a really comfortable and spacious home to live in as it is warm, homely and incredibly peaceful for somewhere so close to the city. We love the area as there is a real sense of community here and it is so convenient for transport links as you can hop on a bus to the station or into town from the bottom of the hill.”
