Of all the purpose-built developments close to Preston Park, Kingsmere apartments are wonderfully spacious and naturally light with ample glazing framing leafy views over the local landscape. This generous two-bedroom apartment has easy access on the ground floor and is well-presented throughout. There remains some scope for further modernisation to add value or simply put your own stamp on the place. It is ideally positioned for both London and Brighton transport connections and it also boasts a unallocated parking for residents and guests. The grounds are well maintained, and it is particularly peaceful for somewhere so close to the city. With so many winning qualities, it is sure to be popular with professionals, families, downsizers, and investors alike. In brief: Style: ground floor flat in a purpose-built development Type: 2 double bedroom2, 1 bathroom, 1 living/dining room, 1 kitchen Location: London Road/Preston Park Floor Area: 828 sq.ft Outside: communal lawns Parking: unallocated residents’ parking Council Tax Band: B Why you’ll like it: Kingsmere is a hugely desirable development with a smart exterior, sweeping private roads, neatly planted verges and a peaceful position set well back from Preston Road. Inside, the apartments have big, well-proportioned rooms which lend themselves to a range of interiors, but you can always ensure they are beautifully bright due to large picture windows throughout. Being purpose-built, they are well insulated for both heat and sound, and this apartment also benefits from a vast amount of storage. As you drive into the complex from the road, the buildings are clearly sign posted. This apartment is in building B where you can park in front of the entrance or on the westerly side where your car is visible from indoors. Double doors open to a smart communal hallway where your door is clearly numbered. Stepping inside, you are greeted into a spacious entrance hall with a deep cupboard for hanging coats and storing household items to ensure the flat remains clutter free. Both bedrooms are double, sitting to this side of the apartment, opposite the bathroom which has a useful, separate WC. The original wood flooring runs into bedroom two from the hall, sanded and varnished in warm honeyed tones to complement white walls, suiting all styles of furnishing. There is a built-in wardrobe to maximise the floor space, and the views are green and leafy – a joy to wake up to. The principal bedroom is larger with more built-in storage and soft grey carpet underfoot. At the far end of the entrance hall, the living room is particularly spacious with a wide box bay window facing east to bring in the morning light. Wood flooring is in fine condition allowing clearly defined areas for formal dining and relaxed seating without feeling cramped. Next door, the kitchen is well-designed for the space with modern white units alongside an integrated oven and hob, leaving space for a tall fridge freezer. Agent’s thoughts: This is the ideal investment for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors as Kingsmere is a popular development and the apartment is ready to move into, but also has scope to add value if you choose. Owner’s thoughts: “This has been a fantastic rental apartment for me as it is so brilliantly located, and the building is well-managed. It is also really quiet and green here, while also being well-connected to the city – you get the best of both worlds.” Where it is: Shops: Local 3 min walk, Churchill Square 10 mins on the bus Train Station: Preston Park 2 min walk Seafront or Park: Preston Park 5 min walk, the Seafront 10 min drive Closest Schools: Primary: St Bernadette’s R.C, Balfour Primary Secondary: Varndean and Dorothy Stringer, Cardinal Newman RC Private: Brighton College, Windlesham Prep This modern flat is perfectly situated in a popular area with lots of local shops and green spaces.
