The words ‘blank canvas’ spring to mind in this two-bedroom purpose-built apartment in Preston Village. It is brimming with potential to add value due to the excellent location where regular transport links and connections to London have ensured the area remains a property hot spot in the city.

It is formed within the ground floor of a modern development set back from Preston Road. Surrounded by mature trees and close to several picturesque parks, this apartment feels perfectly tranquil, yet there are plenty of local amenities nearby and the city is within walking distance. There is an allocated parking space with further free parking on Cumberland Drive (private road) and there are trains stopping every few minutes into Brighton or to London, so it would be ideal for professionals and commuters.

Why you’ll like it:
Peaceful, leafy surroundings greet you in historic Preston Village which sits on the outskirts of the city while remaining well-connected by road and train to both the city centre and London. This area has been hugely popular with families and professionals alike for many years now due this favoured position close to several popular parks, schools and Preston Park Station. Here you find a range of architectural styles from 17th century cottages to modern developments, with this apartment sitting within the latter, on the grounds of a grand Victorian home on Preston Road.

You approach via Cumberland Road where there is a parking space for this flat and neat lawns surrounding low-rise buildings in pale gault brick. This property has easy access on the ground floor, offering a huge amount of potential for modernisation. While it has a neutral décor and fully functioning fittings, new owners can really enjoy putting their own stamp on the place as some areas are dated or in need of a little tlc.
There is plenty to play with, however, with good size rooms, secondary glazing to the windows and a dual aspect living room with a deep box bay window allowing plenty of space for a dining table and chairs alongside comfortable furnishings to relax in the evening. The kitchen across the hall offers plenty of storage and space for freestanding appliances and the bathroom has a generous shower cubicle.

Bedroom two is a roomy single which may fit a small double if needed, while the principal room is double with space for freestanding wardrobes and a chest of drawers.

Agent’s thoughts:
With so much potential in a prestigious location, we do not expect this property to sit on the market for long.

Owner’s thoughts:
“The flat has so much potential, so we really hope the new owners breathe new life into the space and enjoy it for years to come. You cannot beat the location for convenience as there are trains and buses to take you everywhere, and there is a lovely sense of community among the residents of Shawcross House.”
