6 Copper Beeches, Rookery Close, Brighton BN1

***guide price £600,000 - £625,000***

Excellently positioned in the Preston Park area next to the beautiful Rockery Gardens and a short distance from Preston Park Railway Station. A unique and generously-sized first & second floor loft-style apartment with three double bedrooms, two reception rooms, three bathrooms and a garage.

Tucked away in a quiet close and ideally positioned beside the charming Rockery Gardens and opposite the open green spaces of Preston Park, Copper Beeches is a distinctive building dating back to circa 1924. Originally constructed as an electricity substation, the property was thoughtfully converted into apartments in 1997, retaining much of its unique architectural character.

This exceptional duplex apartment occupies the first and top floors, offering generously proportioned accommodation bathed in natural light throughout. The impressive dual-aspect reception and dining room is a true highlight, featuring striking dark grey industrial-style arched windows that frame attractive views across the park. A separate contemporary kitchen mirrors this character with its own feature window, complemented by sleek quartz worktops and a range of integrated appliances. Also on the first floor is a versatile second reception room, again benefitting from dual-aspect arched windows, ideal for use as a home office, study, or additional living space. A well-proportioned double bedroom with the same distinctive arched window, along with a separate shower room and practical utility area, completes this level.

The principal bedroom is situated on the top floor and enjoys fitted wardrobes, a stylish en-suite shower room, and skylights that flood the space with natural light. A further double bedroom, also with skylights, and a sleek family bathroom conclude this unique and highly desirable apartment.

Further benefits include a private garage, adding both convenience and valuable additional storage.
