Top-floor one-bedroom flat with dual-aspect reception and lots of natural light
Occupying the top floor of a well-maintained Victorian villa on a tree-lined Preston Park street, this one-bedroom flat is bright, quietly positioned and carefully presented. Large double-glazed sash windows and new radiators help make the living space comfortable, with a dual-aspect reception room and open-plan kitchen that make efficient use of the compact footprint.
The apartment suits a single buyer or couple seeking an attractive first home or a buy-to-let in a highly desirable part of Brighton. Practical benefits include a part-boarded loft accessed by a pull-down ladder, built-in bedroom storage, integrated kitchen appliances and a sizeable bathroom with an electric Mira shower. Communal areas are clean and managed informally by residents, with strong local community amenities including parks, cafés, a Saturday market and easy walking access to London Road station.
Buyers should note the flat is modest in size (approximately 361 sq ft) and on the top floor, which means stairs are required and internal space is limited. The building’s solid brick construction likely offers character but little built-in wall insulation. The flats operate under an unofficial right to manage; there are no planned major works but an average annual service charge of £1,728 is payable (about £144 pcm). The lease has 136 years remaining and ground rent is £0.
Overall this property blends period character and contemporary presentation in a very well-connected, affluent neighbourhood. It offers a straightforward, low-maintenance purchase for first-time buyers or investors wanting a compact, rental-ready flat close to parks, shops and public transport.
