About
Asking price: £275,000 | One-bedroom Apartment | Popular Kemptown Location | Excellent Choice of Local Amenities | south-facing Garden | Courtyard Area | Generous Reception | Modern Kitchen and Bathroom | Perfect First Time Buy | Useful Storage Space St James’s Street is a vibrant and well-connected location in the heart of Brighton, just moments from the seafront and the city centre.
The area is known for its independent shops, cafés, restaurants, and bars, creating a lively yet characterful neighbourhood.
With excellent transport links and easy access to local amenities, it is an ideal location for those seeking city living with a strong sense of community.
Upon entering the property from the ground floor, a spacious entrance hall provides access to all rooms in the accommodation.
At far end of the hallway sits a generous reception room with ample space to house a sofa and dining table and chairs.
Patio doors open to a south-facing tiered garden- a real sun trap and the perfect spot for relaxation or al-fresco dining during the warmer summer months.
The kitchen has been finished to a high standard with classic Shaker style wall and base units, metro tiles and is equipped with a washing machine, fridge freezer and integrated oven and hob.
A hatch allows you to socialise and cook with ease. The bathroom is contemporary in style and comprises a bath with shower above, pedestal wash basin, heated towel rail and WC.
At the front of the property, you have a bright and airy double bedroom that overlooks a small private courtyard. The property also benefits from a useful alcove for storage.
An ideal first time buy; internal viewing is highly recommended. What the owner says: "I have loved living here since 2015.
What is so great about the flat is that you enter from busy bustling St James Street where you can get anything you need with two supermarkets, lovely bars and restaurants, chemists and a great diy Store, not to mention the best florists in Brighton.
Having south facing outdoor space on two levels through the living room patio doors is such a bonus-it is so quiet and a lovely spot to relax and unwind.
Although it’s only one bedroom, it is spacious and it’s lovely having a little additional alcove space that can be used as on office or for additional storage.
The location is just great; it takes me 18 minutes to walk to the station and four minutes to the sea. We are right by the Pavilion and it’s a short stroll to Kemptown Village". In The Know...
