About
GUIDE PRICE: £325,000 - £350,000 Tucked away at the end of a peaceful, no-through lane, this spacious second floor apartment offers a rare combination of tranquillity, greenery and convenience within one of Brighton’s most sought-after private estates.
Designed by renowned architects Morgan, Carn & Partners in the 1970s, the Varndean Park Estate was created to offer a sophisticated yet relaxed lifestyle, surrounded by mature trees, beautifully maintained communal grounds and a sense of privacy, while remaining within easy reach of everything Brighton has to offer.
Approached through a leafy setting, the development immediately impresses with its clean lines, generous windows and thoughtful design.
A secure communal entrance with entry phone system leads into a well-kept hall, where a lift provides easy access to the second floor and the apartment.
Inside, the welcoming hallway offers useful storage and leads to bright, well-proportioned accommodation.
Large windows frame leafy views, filling the home with natural light and creating a peaceful atmosphere throughout.
The impressive sitting and dining room is the heart of the home, with ample space for both relaxing and entertaining.
Doors open onto the balcony ----- a wonderful extension of the living space and a rare feature in apartment living.
Sheltered and private, it is the perfect spot for morning coffee, a good book or an evening drink overlooking the mature surroundings.
The separate kitchen is practical and well arranged, offering generous storage and workspace while keeping the main living area open and sociable.
Both bedrooms are spacious doubles with pleasant outlooks.
The principal bedroom provides ample room for wardrobes and furnishings, while the second bedroom is equally suited to guests, a home office or additional accommodation.
Two neatly presented shower rooms completes the apartment. Life at Varndean Park Estate is what truly sets this home apart.
Residents enjoy beautifully maintained communal gardens, peaceful green spaces and the rare benefit of a seasonal heated outdoor swimming pool with changing facilities, creating the feel of a private retreat within the city.
With an allocated parking space, lift access, a private balcony and an enviable position within this exclusive development, this apartment offers a relaxed lifestyle without compromising on convenience.
Preston Park Station, local shops, parks and Brighton’s vibrant city centre are all within easy reach, making it an ideal home for those seeking space, tranquillity and an exceptional location.
