Situated on a wide, tree-lined residential road in the Preston Park area of Brighton, this characterful top-floor flat is located in a sought-after residential enclave moments from the Park and Preston Park Station.
This beautiful top-floor apartment is bright and airy and has a studio room which has been partitioned to give the feel of a one-bedroom flat. There is a separate kitchen and bathroom, with all the rooms arranged off a central lobby, making this a thoughtfully configured and practical space.
The front door opens into a lobby, with a door to the studio room on the right. This space is over five metres deep and three metres wide, and has been cleverly divided to create separate areas for the bedroom and living room. The living space is at the front of the building and has a charming vaulted ceiling and three sash windows, which overlook a small flat roof suitable for pot plants. There is room for both seating and a fold-out dining table, and the room has a stylish designer radiator. The living room side of the partition that divides the room has been designed with attractive shelving, and a library-style ladder provides access to a mezzanine above the sleeping area, which is a fantastic storage space. Underneath, at the rear of the room, is the bedroom area, with space for a double bed. Communal front garden area.
The kitchen is also at the front of the building, with a wide window that looks down onto Cornwall Gardens. The cabinets and the walls are in a fresh white, and a shelving unit has a small breakfast bar below it. There is space for a fridge and a washing machine, and there is an integrated electric oven with a gas hob above. The Vaillant EcoTEC Pro combination boiler is also housed here. The property has recently undergone extensive renovation with new roof and external decorations.
The property generates a good income from airbnb and would make a good rental investment giving approx 8% return. The ideal first time buy and chain free sale.
Cornwall Gardens is a quiet residential road just north of Preston Park, which is a beautiful local park with open spaces perfect for picnics and games. It also has a landscaped rose garden, cafés, tennis courts, and a velodrome. The Park View on Preston Drove is a popular local pub with a garden that serves food. At Fiveways, there are independent shops and cafés, including two bakeries and a greengrocer. In the opposite direction is a Sainsbury’s Local on Preston Road. Preston Park Station is close by, from where there are fast services to London Victoria and London Bridge, or south to either Brighton Station or towards Hove and Littlehampton. Bus services 5 and 5B run frequently into town. There is quick access by road onto the A23 heading out of Brighton towards Gatwick, or to the A27.
