1 bed flat for sale

Alexandra Villas, Brighton, East Sussex BN1

For somewhere so central, Alexandra Villas is incredibly peaceful as it is not a cut-through into Seven Dials or the city centre, yet it is just 5-minutes on foot from both. This modern one-bedroom apartment sits within the lower ground floor of a substantial Victorian townhouse, so it is ultimately tranquil, enjoying green views over the private front garden setting it back from the road. It has been well-designed and cleverly converted within the space, then renovated throughout using a contemporary palette and stylish fixtures and fittings, so you can move straight in or let it out immediately with ease.

Brighton Station is just a moment away and there is plenty to entertain you nearby within the North Laine Shopping District or on the beach and sitting in close proximity to St Ann’s Well Gardens and St Nicholas Park, you don’t miss having outside space of your own.

Why you’ll like it:
The gracious townhouses surrounding Seven Dials certainly live up to their regal street names. This semi-detached Victorian building is majestic at four-storeys high, giving it plenty of kerb appeal bearing the architectural features of the era. It sits just a few minutes from the cafes, shops and the station, so it is perfectly located for exploring and working in the city.

Entering through the main door, steps lead down to this apartment on the lower ground floor. Built into the hillside, it does not feel lower ground as it is set back from the road allowing plenty of natural light to stream in through a wide bay sash window on the easterly elevation. The main living space is well-presented with soft grey carpet underfoot, complementary shades on the walls and ample space for relaxed furnishings. There would also be space for a dining table and chairs, if need be, as the kitchen is conveniently open to the room.

Streamlined white cabinetry contains several integrated appliances to include an oven, gas hob, fridge and a dishwasher, so you can move straight in with relative ease. The gas central heating boiler is tucked away and wall mounted, providing instant heat and hot water when needed.

Peacefully positioned to the rear of the building, the bedroom is double and has been designed well to allow a double bed and built-in clothes storage, while the bathroom sits across the hall, lined in slate-grey wall tiles around a roomy shower cubicle. A large wall mirror adds to the feeling of space with recessed LED lighting below to illuminate.

Private garden to the front of the building.

This attractive flat is perfectly situated in a popular area with lots of local shops and the beach just minutes away. The city centre shopping districts and the parks are within easy reach, and it also offers easy access to the A27/A23 as well as Brighton Station with its regular, fast links to the universities, airports and London.
