About
Set within an attractive bay-fronted Victorian building on Springfield Road, this beautifully refurbished raised ground-floor apartment combines elegant period proportions with a crisp contemporary finish.
Ideally positioned between Fiveways and Preston Circus, the flat offers generous room sizes, tall ceilings, and large sash bay windows which fill the accommodation with natural light throughout the day.
The apartment has been recently renovated, creating a bright and immediately welcoming home which feels both calm and thoughtfully finished.
A central hallway connects all rooms, enhancing the sense of space and flow across the apartment. To the rear of the property, the reception room is an especially impressive space.
Well-proportioned and flooded with natural light from the large bay window, it enjoys a wonderfully leafy outlook, giving the room a surprisingly peaceful feel despite the central location.
The scale comfortably accommodates both lounge and dining areas, while the high ceilings, detailed bay panelling, deep skirting boards and clean contemporary décor strike a pleasing balance between character and modernity.
The separate kitchen has been re-fitted with sleek gloss cabinetry, integrated appliances, and composite worktops, while the elevated rear aspect continues the attractive green outlook seen from the reception room.
Positioned at the front of the apartment, the bedroom is another generous room, centred around a second bay window which draws in excellent natural light.
Like the reception room, it retains lovely Victorian proportions and detailing, giving the apartment an overall sense of elegance and volume that is often difficult to find in one-bedroom properties.
The bathroom has also been stylishly updated, with contemporary black fittings, a rainfall shower over the bath, vanity storage, and a clean, understated finish throughout.
Springfield Road is a residential street of Victorian properties just north of Preston Circus and south of Preston Park.
Just around the corner, St Augustine's Arts and Events Centre has yoga classes, art exhibitions and its own café. On Sundays, there is a market in Florence Road.
Preston Park has large open spaces, a children's playground, tennis courts, a velodrome and two cafés.
The Duke of York's Picturehouse, Brighton's much-loved independent cinema, is also moments away at Preston Circus, screening a wide variety of films throughout the week.
A short stroll down London Road brings you to the vibrant Open Market, home to independent shops, artists' studios and plaza traders with stalls selling handmade arts and crafts, delicious food and much more.
There are great local pubs and restaurants including the Open House, Signalman, Jolly Brewer, Preston Park Tavern and the Roundhill, all close by.
The Roundhill is notable for its entirely vegan kitchen, serving award-winning plant-based meals.
The property is ideally located for commuters, as Brighton Mainline station is a short walk away with direct services to London Bridge and Victoria in less than an hour.
Even closer is London Road station, connecting not only back into Brighton within a couple of minutes, but with services to Lewes and beyond.
Several bus routes run nearby including the 5, 5A and 5B, which go straight into town.
Offered with no onward chain, this is a wonderfully bright and well-proportioned Victorian apartment in one of Brighton's most consistently popular residential locations.
