Beaconsfield Road, Brighton BN1

Description

***Open House Saturday June 7th 12:00 - 1:30pm***

Positioned moments from Preston Circus, with coffee shops, restaurants and the Duke of York's Picturehouse on your doorstep, this beautiful period split-level upper maisonette is spacious and homely. Fabulous west-facing roof terrace overlooking an oasis of green in this central location.

The accommodation is arranged over the top two floors of a Victorian property. The entrance is on the ground floor, with stairs to the first floor within the apartment itself, which contributes greatly to the sense of space and gives the feel of a small house. On the first floor, the living room spans the width of the property, with a bay window and a further single sash, making this a spacious and bright room. It is decorated in white with an accent wall in Farrow & Ball's Down Pipe, a complex grey with blue undertones. A charming window seat has been built into the bay, with storage incorporated. A decorative fireplace provides a focal point, with a high mantel and striking blue tiles. The original floorboards have been stripped, and the wooden floors, which are in great condition, run throughout the first floor.

The kitchen/breakfast room is adjacent and has space for a table and chairs, as well as two good runs of cabinetry with a smart counter, an electric oven with a gas hob above, and a lovely white ceramic sink with drainer, which sits beneath a window offering a particularly leafy outlook onto the surrounding gardens. The wall cabinets are finished in a soft matte white, the base units in a wood finish, and the splashback is tiled in sage. The overall effect is stylish and understated, and this is a generously sized room with space for a washing machine, dishwasher, fridge and freezer.

The bathroom is an exceptional space, over four metres long, with a bath, twin hand basins, wooden floors and a door that opens directly onto a decked roof terrace surrounded by beautiful trees, offering tranquillity and privacy. What could be more luxurious than throwing open the door to the terrace and listening to birdsong while taking your bath?

A second staircase rises to the top floor, where the two bedrooms are found. The top floor landing is light and airy, and there is a useful built-in wardrobe on the landing. The larger bedroom is four metres across, with built-in wardrobes spanning one wall and two rooflight windows. The second bedroom overlooks gardens and is also a generous double.

The Vaillant combination boiler is located in the bathroom, and the house has double glazing at the rear and on the top floor, while the original sashes have been preserved in the living room.

The property is a short stroll from Preston Park, which has large open spaces, a children's playground and two places to grab a coffee and a bite to eat - the Rotunda Café and the Chalet Café - as well as tennis courts and a velodrome. The Duke of York's Picturehouse, Brighton's iconic cinema, is moments away at Preston Circus. A short walk down London Road brings you to the vibrant Open Market, home to independent shops, artist studios and plaza traders with stalls selling handmade arts and crafts, delicious food and more. There are great local pubs and restaurants, including the Hare & Hounds and the Joker, just a stone's throw away. The property is ideally located for commuters - Brighton Mainline station is only a short walk, with direct services to London Bridge and Victoria in under an hour.
