Why you’ll like it:
You approach this smart development up a pathway scented with lavender to where the entrance is clearly numbered to the rear of the building. Glazed double doors open to the communal lobby, where the attractive Terrazzo floor leads you to the lift or the stairs which take you up to your floor. Once inside, it is clear this is a spacious and airy apartment.
While it has clearly been well-maintained, there is potential to see the space as a blank canvas, ready to put your own stamp on. The decoration throughout is neutral with white walls and fawn-grey carpets which will suit all styles of furnishing. There is a dual-aspect living room, large enough to accommodate both a comfortable seating area and a dining table. A perfect spot for entertaining or relaxing, the room enjoys lovely views with a delightful outlook of mature trees at the far end, looking out over the vast green of Withdean Park. This wall is almost entirely glazed with a door leading out to the balcony which offers the perfect spot for a table and chairs to dine and drink alfresco during the warmer weather. During winter, there is ample space inside for formal dining while continuing to enjoy the view, alongside space for large and comfortable furnishings for cosy evenings in. The double glazing is incredibly efficient, so it is very peaceful in here.
The kitchen is fully functioning, offering plenty of storage alongside freestanding appliances. It would add the most value to modernise in here to create a contemporary cooking area to last for many years to come.
Both bedrooms are excellent doubles, and again they have large, energy efficient windows framing green views while allowing for lots of natural light to enter. The principal bedroom shares the same easterly orientation and views as the living room, so the sunlight streams in during the morning, while bedroom two has a green and restful outlook and easy access to the bathroom across the hall. In here, the sanitaryware is classic in white with an electric shower over the bath, so you can guarantee powerful hot water whenever you need it.
Agent’s thoughts:
These are really well designed and spacious apartments which make excellent buy-to-let investments. They are ideally located in peaceful Withdean yet they remain well-connected to the city, so you get the best of both worlds living here.
Owner’s thoughts:
“It was the generous room sizes and the lovely views which first attracted me to this flat. It is also incredibly peaceful and so convenient for getting in and out of the city.”
