The property has direct access to an 'unofficial' roof terrace from where there are stunning views over the city towards the South Downs. Accessed via a communal hallway, the front door of the flat opens to a staircase leading up to the first floor, where the main accommodation is found. At the front of the property, the bright living room features a large triple-sash window overlooking the street, with white-painted walls and stripped and polished floorboards enhancing the sense of space and light. The principal bedroom is positioned at the rear and is a generous double room with a decorative cast-iron fireplace, built-in wardrobes on either side of the chimney breast, and a sash window overlooking gardens. The stripped floorboards have been painted white, adding to the characterful feel of the space. The kitchen is a charming and practical space, with a sash window to the rear, cream shaker-style units, a gas hob, electric oven, integrated fridge and freezer, space for a washing machine, and a tiled floor. The bathroom features a white suite, a shower over the bath, a tiled floor, a glazed stripped pine door, and two distinctive side windows that add character and natural light. At the front of the property, the second bedroom has a single sash window and stripped, polished floorboards. The spacious landing is currently arranged as a dining area but offers excellent flexibility for alternative uses and could be a study area. From here, a staircase leads up to a top landing, where double windows open onto the roof terrace. This wonderful outdoor space enjoys far-reaching views across the city and beyond. The flat is set within an attractive three-storey Victorian building, with a cream-coloured rendered façade, wrought-iron railings and front gate. The building's exterior will be repainted and paid for by the current owner. Seven Dials is the bustling hub of this residential community where pubs, cafés and restaurants with outside tables give the area its vibrant atmosphere. Choose between The Good Companions, The Cow, The French Horn and The Shakespeare's Head for a local pub night out, all of which do food.

There is also a co-op supermarket and many local independent shops, including the Flour Pot Bakery, Ricci's Deli, a greengrocer, a florist and a health shops like Kindly. Commuters are only a short walk away from Brighton station and there are of course excellent bus services running from the Dials into the city centre.
