VACANT POSSESSION.

Devonian Court is one of the original 1930s developments within the city, sitting in a superb location with Brighton’s vibrant North Laine and Mainline Station within easy walking distance – without a hill in sight! It is a solid build with a secure gated entrance and this sunny apartment sits on the second floor with far reaching views across the local landscape. It has well-proportioned rooms with plenty of storage and while the property has been well-maintained with a modern, neutral décor, there remains plenty of scope to add value with modernisation and styling. With two double bedrooms it is ideal for both professional sharers and families who will appreciate the excellent school catchment. With so many positive features, this apartment will attract the attentions of many.

Why you’ll like it:
Positioned at the base of Roundhill Conservation Area and tucked away from the busy Lewes Road, this spacious apartment sits within a smart Deco development with gated access. This building can be accessed via a gate on Brewer Street where it is easy to park with a permit (no waiting list for J zone). A phone entry system takes you into the building where the apartment is clearly numbered on the second floor.

Once inside, it is clear this is a light and airy apartment with wide picture windows looking out over the rooftops and trees of the local area.
The kitchen is a lovely size with cream cabinets running along each wall at both base and upper levels offering a huge amount of storage.

Within these, the oven and gas hob have been integrated, leaving space for a washing machine and fridge freezer, while the gas boiler is wall mounted in white. A door opens to the balcony allowing the cool breeze to flow through during summer.

Easily accessible across the hall, the living room has ample space for formal dining by the large picture window, looking out towards the terraces of Hanover and along Brewer Street with its colourful house fronts. This room has a soft, neutral decoration with fawn carpet and off-white walls to suit all styles of furnishing, and is a great size for family time, relaxation and entertaining.

The principal bedroom echoes the size and shape of the living room with space for a king size bed and several pieces of bedroom furniture plus there is a deep built-in cupboard which maximises the floor space further. Bedroom two is another lovely double, so it would be perfect for professional sharers. They both have easy access to the bathroom which has a timeless décor in white with a shower over the bath, so you can add a pop of colour with toiletries and towels. While modernisation would add value, it is all perfectly functional and modern, so you can move in or let out immediately with ease.

Agent’s thoughts:
This property is brilliantly located for access to the city, yet it is also incredibly quiet as it is tucked away from the main roads.

Owner’s thoughts:
‘It is so convenient living here. We tend to walk everywhere, and you can be in the North Laine or at Brighton Station in 10-minutes on foot. The beach is also within easy walking distance and The Level Park is on the doorstep, so we have never missed having a garden of our own. Devonian Court is really well-built so it is very quiet, and the neighbours are lovely so we will miss it here.’
