With an immaculate cream façade bearing the classic architectural features of the Victorian era, this town house in the Willett Este Conservation Area has plenty of kerb appeal. Spanning the entire raised ground floor, this one-bedroom apartment benefits from incredibly high ceilings and a wide bay window facing south to fill the flat with natural light. Stone steps lead up through the portico entrance to the communal hallways where the door to this apartment is clearly numbered to the right.

Stepping inside, the eye is drawn first to the living room which spans the front of the house looking out to the mature trees lining the road. Fresh calico walls are paired with white woodwork features which have been retained to include deep skirtings, picture rails and decorative plasterwork cornicing wending its way around the ceiling’s perimeter. The sash windows are tall and span the width of the southerly elevation, providing the perfect spot for a dining table and chairs, which feel private from the street as the ground floor is slightly elevated. A large mantelpiece takes centre stage, but it is for decoration only as the fireplace has been closed, although it may be opened once more with permission of the Freeholder and some professional investigation.

Next door, the bedroom is peacefully positioned to the rear of the building with a tall sash window overlooking the neighbouring gardens. Period features continue in here, as does the smart, neutral decoration which will suits all styles of furnishing. There is plenty of space for a double bed and freestanding wardrobes within the alcoves, while further storage can be found in several cupboards in the hallway.

Moving through the flat, the retro kitchen has been modernised with some integrated appliances and new wood effect worktops. It has been well-designed for the galley space offering plenty of storage and space for a fridge and a washing machine. The bathroom is also simply designed in white with a shower over the bath, so you can add your own pop of colour with toiletries and towels.

This generous flat is situated in a popular area with lots of local shops and the beach nearby. The city centre shopping districts and parks are also within easy reach, and this apartment also offers easy access to Hove Station and the A23/A27 which have direct and fast links to the universities, airports and London.
