2 bed flat for sale

Arundel Street, Brighton, East Sussex BN2

On a quiet road with the sea and Marina at the end of it and within a 5 minute walk of a park leading to open countryside, this spacious two bedroom maisonette offers the best of our coastal city on your doorstep – and now is the time to buy with major improvements underway along the local beach.

Ideal as a home or for holidays, professionals and investors will like the social layout as an open plan living room has a stylish fitted kitchen and access to a sunny patio, where a gate to a lane behind is good for bikes. The chic shower room is good to go, and both bedrooms (one with a Juliette balcony) are generous doubles which do not share a wall, perfect for sharers or a small family.

Homes in this secret street are within easy reach but out of hearing of some of our city’s main employers, (the County Hospital is a 10 minute walk, ) and are a rare find in this sought after area which has a friendly high street, cafés and a bistro pub around the corner. The picturesque Lanes are 20-25 minute scenic seafront stroll or 7 minutes by cab, and the station to London easy to reach, it is worth noting that residential housing is being discussed relating to the plot behind.

One of Brighton’s best kept secrets, this well-kept street with plentiful permit parking is one which when found people tend to stay, and as homes here do not appear on the market often there is a friendly community so you won’t feel isolated if you are new to the south coast. With a shared entrance from the front on the ground floor, this spacious beauty also has a gate from the quiet lane behind into the pretty patio – perfect for bikes or surfboards.

Coming in through the sunny patio, which is L shaped so you can tuck bikes or boards away from the dining deck, inside there is a large cupboard for coats and bags. Ahead, the lower floor has been opened up to create a light and inviting space with a fabulous 29’ x 17’ (8.8m x 5.2m) of flexible floorspace ideal for work, rest or play. Sensibly, the kitchen is close to the door to the patio for al fresco entertaining, and it is well planned so the central gas hob, hood and oven are tucked away from the in/out flow. Streamlined units provide ample storage and working surface, and there is space at the heart of this room for a dining table, where guests can relax in rare seclusion, unseen. At the front, a broad west bay brings in plenty of sunlight and floating shelving in the alcoves keep the feel current.

Outside, the patio has space for an al fresco, summertime lifestyle, and it is a blank canvas for you to make your own. Returning inside, tucked away on this level, the chic shower room is lined with stone mosaic and is good to go with natural light and a warming rail for towels.

Up on the ground floor, a butterfly landing separates the two bedrooms, the first of which spans 10’4 x 9’8 (3.2m x 3m). Light and inviting, it opens to a Juliette balcony which is not directly overlooked. Across the landing, the principal bedroom is also a generous size at 14’7 x 11’7 (4.4m x 3.5m), and with fashionable fitted wardrobes and restful proportions only period properties can deliver, it is also ready for your move.
