Description

***Guide Price: £350,000 - £375,000***

This wonderful, two-bedroom split-level apartment, with views across Brighton, is positioned on Ditchling Rise, a popular road near Preston Circus. Recently refurbished, it forms part of a large Victorian property and has a magnificent double vaulted ceiling in the kitchen.

Available through knight & knoxley, you enter the property and the kitchen is found off the landing to the rear with a range of stylish kitchen units, space for a breakfast table and a vaulted ceiling with a large skylight allowing light to flow through the space. As you leave the kitchen, there is a separate W.C. And a small flight of steps leading to the next level.

Here you will find bedroom two in the middle of the apartment, which is a good-sized double. This room has a window to the rear and a feature fireplace to the centre. At the front of the property, you will find the lounge with a large picture window to the front and a stunning exposed brick feature fireplace housing a log-burning stove. The bathroom is part tiled with a contemporary wash hand basin on top of a vanity unit and bathtub with shower above.

The loft conversion is an excellent addition to the property and the staircase provides the feeling of being in a house. This space provides a double bedroom and has extremely useful eaves storage space along with skylights to the front and rear offering views across Brighton.

This area north of Preston Circus and to the south of Preston Park has much to offer the community. Downs Infant and Junior schools are just around the corner, both rated outstanding by Ofsted. The house is also in the catchment area for the extremely popular Dorothy Stringer and Varndean secondary schools. Cross the railway bridge on a Sunday to visit the Florence Road market, or the St Augustine's Arts and Events Centre which has yoga classes, art exhibitions and its own café. Continue to Preston Park, which has large open spaces, a children's playground, tennis courts, a velodrome and two places to grab a coffee and a bite to eat - the Rotunda Café or the Chalet Café. The Duke of York's Picturehouse, Brighton's much-loved independent cinema, is moments away at Preston Circus, screening a huge variety of films throughout the week. A short stroll down London Road will bring you to the vibrant Open Market which is home to independent shops, artist's studios and plaza traders with stalls selling handmade arts and crafts, delicious food and much more. There are great local pubs and restaurants including the Open House, Signalman, Jolly Brewer, Preston Park Tavern and the Roundhill, all close by, to name but a few! The Roundhill is notable as it has an entirely vegan kitchen, serving award-winning plant-based meals. The property is ideally located for commuters, as Brighton Mainline station is a short walk away with direct services to London Bridge and Victoria, which arrive in London in less than an hour. Even closer is London Road station with services to Lewes and beyond. Several bus routes run close by including the 5,5A and 5B which will take you straight into town.
