In a leafy setting this elegant, ground floor 2 bed apartment with a west patio and a garage is within a quiet no through 1960’s/70’s development in Georgian style, just a few mins walk from the sea with local amenities close by and the Lanes about 7 mins by cab (or a scenic 25 min seafront stroll). Good to go, it’s an ideal home or investment with 66.22m2 (712.78 sq. ft.) offering a sophisticated lifestyle there’s a park with a footpath to the County Hospital around the corner, Brighton College, the Police Station and Amex are within walking distance and the waterfront restaurants of the Marina are a 5 min drive. Inside the stylish living dining room has space to entertain and an open fire to enjoy, whilst the sociable kitchen breakfast room has a high end finish. Both bedrooms are comfortable doubles, one with organised storage, and a chic shower room has luxury fittings. Peaceful but convenient, this is an easy going, friendly area. Always popular with locals seeking quality homes between the beach and the countryside – both within walking distance- investors are now also noticing that this is a well-connected area with quiet nights, plentiful permit parking and buses to every part of the city.

Agent says: “Good to go, this luxury retreat with a stylish finish, a sunny patio and rare to find garage is a great home or investment with the sea, parks and hospital only a few minutes away on foot and the city centre just a short drive.” Owner’s secret: “Warm in the winter but light and airy during summer, this house is always welcoming and it is also easy to maintain. Private and quiet inside, the garage makes life easy and there is also plentiful permit parking (you can buy visitor permits). It suits a busy lifestyle as the close is quiet and neighbours look out for each other. Although the setting is relaxing, my favourite place is sitting in the sun on the patio, and there is easy access to all that Brighton has to offer -there is something for everyone- as well as almost 24hr transport links to the stations and airports.” Where it is: Shops: Local 5-10 mins walk, 3 by car, Brighton Marina and Kemptown Village 5 mins by car Train Station: Brighton mainline best 10 mins cab ride Seafront or Park: East Brighton Park & Nature Reserve 5-8 mins walk, seafront 2 mins by car, 10-12 on foot Closest Schools: Primary: St Mark’s, St Lukes, Woodingdean Secondary: Varndean, Dorothy Stringer Sixth Form: Varndean, MET, BIMM, BHASVIC Private: Brighton College, Brighton Waldorf, Roedean Close to the sea, the waterfront restaurants of the marina and with easy access to protected Downland and East Brighton Park’s sports facilities and café, this is a sought after area favoured by professionals, families and investors.
