1 bed property for sale

Springfield Road, Brighton BN1

Description

A wonderful opportunity to purchase a characterful period apartment on Springfield Road moments from Preston Park. This property is a rare find, with a glorious south-facing garden and Brighton's historic viaduct forming a striking backdrop.

This well-presented garden flat is situated in a handsome Victorian building at the western end of Springfield Road. It's just moments from the green open spaces of Preston Park, and Brighton Station is easily reached on foot within 15 minutes.
A private front door opens to a long hallway with sightlines through to the kitchen/breakfast room at the rear. To the left, the living room is arranged around a fireplace with a wood-burning stove. Original floorboards are exposed, and a bay window overlooks the leafy front garden.

Beyond the living room, the hall widens, offering an ideal space for a desk, storage, or shelving. The kitchen is generously sized, with ample room for a table and chairs. Double doors at the side open onto the garden.

The kitchen cabinets are painted green, offset by a black and white chequerboard floor. The sink sits beneath a window and features a matte black tap. In addition to the gas hob and electric fan oven with grill, there is space for a washing machine and a full-height fridge freezer. The Ideal Logic Max Combi C24 boiler is also located here; it is still under warranty and has been serviced annually.

The south facing garden is beautiful and has two seating areas: One on the flagstone patio nearest the house and another on a timber deck at the far end, where the sun continues to reach at the end of the day. The current owners will particularly miss this peaceful garden and the birdsong, as outside space of this size is rare in central Brighton.

Inside, the bathroom is divided into two interconnected spaces. The bath sits beneath a window and features traditional ball-and-claw feet, while the sink is set into a vintage cabinet. The WC is located in a separate area, which also has a window.

Springfield Road is a short stroll from Preston Park, which has expansive green space, a children's playground, and two popular cafés - the Rotunda and the Chalet - as well as tennis courts and a velodrome. The Duke of York's Picturehouse, Brighton's iconic cinema, is just 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 offering handmade crafts, delicious food, and more.

There are excellent local pubs and restaurants nearby, including the Hare & Hounds, The Joker, The Open House, The Signalman, Preston Park Tavern, and The Roundhill. The property is ideally located for commuters, with Brighton Mainline Station a short walk away, offering direct services to London Bridge and Victoria in under an hour. Even closer is London Road Station, with services to Lewes and beyond. Several bus routes, including the 5,5A, and 5B, run nearby and offer direct access to the city centre.
