Secluded and secure in leafy grounds, this hidden gem is ideal for those who need rapid or regular access to Brighton’s city centre, Gatwick or London as it is tucked away on a quiet, no through lane - but just 94 yards from Preston Park Station! 
A big, bright blank canvas this 3 bedroom apartment is on the top, 2nd floor of a sunny east/west purpose built block within an exclusive private development and has an allocated parking space.

Property location is hard to beat within a 5 minute walk of the prestigious Preston Park and shops of the Village which include a small Sainsbury’s. Homes in this secret enclave do not appear on the market often as with frequent transport links in or out of the city and good local schools it is perfect for professionals, couples or small families.


Why you’ll like it:
Delivering the best of all worlds between the South Downs National Park and the sea, Preston Village is a sought after area of a fabulous coastal metropolis with an easy going, unpretentious vibe and all the local amenities you need. Popular with professionals and families as it is far more convenient than its leafy setting suggests, the city centre is easy to reach within a few minutes – and you can get out of the city very easily, too- making Gatwick about a 30-40 minute drive or a short hop on the train. The property benefits from outstanding local schools.

Set amongst well-tended trees and gardens, this exclusive development is designed for privacy from the other homes within it and lining a secret cul de sac in a tucked away no through road, it is also remarkably secure. This apartment is in a quiet block towards the back with only two apartments on each floor, and the smart front entrance has an answer phone system and lit glazed door leading to a clean and cared for hallway.

Up at the top of a staircase on the second floor, this apartment spans the full depth of the building from east to west. Inside, the long hallway (7.5m x 1.1m opening to 2.82m) is inviting with light coming in from both sides, and storage has been carefully considered with deep double cupboards tucked away.

With a large 3.5m x 5.54m to play with, the big bright living room has both a broad window and tall glass panel almost filling the west wall, as well as a window in a second wall looking over a sea of gardens. Tastefully decorated and elegant as it is, it is a welcoming haven to return to and the double glazing ensures it is welcoming at any time of year. 

Next door, a well-organised kitchen (3.5m x 2.8m) has a timeless pairing of blonde units and dark, practical work surfaces with a sociable bar for breakfast for two. Everything flows from a central 5 ring gas hob and discreet hood and good to go, an electric oven and grill are at eye level, whilst a fridge, freezer and dishwasher are also integrated for you.

Central to the apartment, a chic, contemporary bathroom (2.9m x 2m) has a shower above a shaped bath, and other touches of luxury include an opaque glass cabinet and heated rail for towels.

2 generous doubles are ready to move into with lit, fitted wardrobes and soothing, open views which change with the seasons. Bedroom 3 is a small double or perhaps the home office.

Master Bed: 3.6m x 3.6m (excluding the built in units)
2nd Bedroom: 3.6m x 2.7m (including built in units)
3rd Bed: 3.55m x 2.4m  (no built in units)
