Eldred Avenue

Spacious apartment with two double bedrooms, in an attractive, purpose-built block, on Eldred Avenue. Beautifully presented and renovated by the current owners.

Denecroft is an attractive purpose-built block of apartments on Eldred Avenue, which backs onto the Deneway Nature Reserve. This small block has a total of twelve flats and is divided into two, with each entrance giving access to six flats. The property is far enough out of town to benefit from extra space and quiet, but also well connected by road and public transport. Parking is unrestricted in Eldred Avenue and the surrounding roads.

Inside the flat, you have a very generous living room with a tiled fireplace and a lovely wide window, facing west. All the rooms are arranged off a central hallway. A lovely modern fitted kitchen has been installed by the current owners, with light-grey matte kitchen cabinets and copper-coloured handles. A Bosch gas hob has a Bosch electric fan oven beneath, and there is an integrated slimline dishwasher and space for a full-height fridge freezer. Both the bedrooms are good size doubles and the whole apartment feels light and spacious. The bathroom has also been renovated recently, with a white modern suite, grey metro tiles and a tiled floor. There is a thermostatic shower over the bath with both a fixed and a handheld showerhead. The flat is double-glazed throughout and the boiler has been regularly serviced. The flat has access to a large storage cupboard off the communal landing, where the meters are located, and to an additional storage cupboard on the ground floor, which was once the coal store.

The property is moments from the Eldred Avenue local shops where there is a post office and Amazon Hub, a corner shop, hairdresser, and a pharmacy. Preston Park station is a twenty-minute walk or a five-minute drive, from where both Southern and Thameslink services to London can be accessed. Buses stop close by, including the 27, 5 and 5A, with regular services running to the city centre. The location is perfect for car users who need to access the A27 or A23 easily. Moments from the apartment is Withdean Park, which is a beautiful open space with one of the largest collections of lilac trees in the world. In early summer there is a spectacular display when the hundreds of different varieties come into flower. Withdean Sports Complex, just around the corner, has an athletics track, tennis and squash courts, a gym and a programme of exercise classes. Popular Westdene Primary School is a ten-minute walk.
