The perfect pad for buy to let landlords, this modern one-bedroom flat sits in a highly sought-after location within walking distance of two commuter stations and Seven Dials.

Style: ground floor Victorian conversion apartment (buy to let landlords only) Type: 1 double bedroom, 1 open plan living room/kitchen, 1 bathroom Location: Dyke Road/Seven Dials Floor Area: 303 sq. ft. 28.2 sq. m. Outside: east facing rear patio Parking: Residents permit zone A Why you’ll like it: Sweeping up from Preston Park to meet Dyke Road, Millers Road forms one of the Brighton’s famous hills, and while it feels nicely tucked away from the hubbub of the city, you are within easy walking distance of two commuter stations, the city centre and three beautiful parks. This apartment resides within a period property which was converted in 2005. The communal entrance is set back from the street slightly and your door is to the right. Stepping into the apartment, you are greeted into an entrance hall with three doors. The first opens to the open plan living room which has a wide bay window almost covering the westerly wall, bringing in plenty of natural light. Double-glazed, it remains peaceful from the street and inside there is ample space for a corner sofa and a dining table and chairs, inviting both entertaining and relaxation. Running long the rear wall, the kitchen has been planned well with space and plumbing for either a washing machine or a dishwasher, while the under-counter fridge, fan oven and gas hob are integrated. This leaves plenty of storage space at both base and wall levels in streamlined white gloss cabinetry, which sits well against the walnut flooring and fresh white walls within the space. From the hallway, the bathroom is on trend with metro brick wall tiles and an integrated shower over the bath. A mirrored wall cabinet and a heated towel rail completes the modern look. Peacefully positioned to the rear of the property with access to the decked patio space, the bedroom is a tranquil double room with a sleeping area and a dressing room at the far end. Agent’s thoughts: With a tenant in situ for 12 months, this property is ideal for buy to let landlords looking for an immediate return. Owner’s secret ‘This has been a hugely successful rental property for me as the location is ideal and it is a really smart pad for professionals. It is also surprisingly quiet for somewhere so central – I’ll be sad to see it go.’ Where it is Shops: Tesco Express 1 min walk, city centre 10-15 min walk Station: Preston park 6 min walk, Brighton 15 min walk Seafront or Park: Dyke Road Park 2 min walk, seafront 10 min cycle Closest Schools: Primary: Stanford Infant and Junior Schools Secondary: Varndean and Dorothy Stringer, Cardinal Newman RC Sixth Form: Varndean 6th, BHASVIC, Cardinal Newman RC Private: St Bernadettes RC, Windlesham Prep, Brighton College This is a great flat in a popular location which is well served for shops and parks.
