As the crowning glory of Woodside Lodge on Tivoli Crescent, this four-bedroom, two-bathroom penthouse apartment not only benefits from panoramic views over the city to the east, but can also enjoy them from an incredibly spacious private roof terrace. Inside, each room is filled with natural light due to ample glazing and a large atrium skylight. There is plenty of space for both families and professionals looking to live in comfort in this prestigious location, close to Preston Park Station, Hove Park and several excellent schools.

Inside, the rooms are well-presented and functional, yet there remains huge scope to add further value with some modernisation which will appeal to home seekers and investors alike. Commuter links are excellent by train, bus or car – and this apartment comes with two allocated parking spaces in a secure underground carpark. There is also access to a communal garden lawn, or the green open hills of the South Downs National Park are just ten-minutes away, so you get the best of all worlds living here.

Why you’ll like it:
The attractive terraces of Tivoli lie on the border between Brighton and Hove: equidistant from the city and the South Downs National Park. The family friendly community, commuter links and the proximity to several popular parks and schools have drawn people to live her for many years now, making it one of the most sought-after areas in the city.

Woodside Lodge sits on the cusp of the hill, close to the station and the local shops. This attractive apartment sits elevated on the penthouse floor, benefitting from plenty of natural light while bringing in exceptional open views over the rooftops and trees of the city to the South Downs in the Northeast.

From the secure underground parking spaces (where you’ll also find a secure locker room), you take the lift or stairs to the top floor to where your door is numbered. Stepping inside, it is clearly a spacious apartment with decorated in neutral tone, creating a blank canvas for any new owner. While wall the fittings and finishes are in fine fettle, there is scope for modernisation to add value or simply to put your own stamp on the place.

Passing below the circular skylight, the living room is incredibly spacious with ample room for formal dining and relaxed seating. A wall of glazing opens to the magnificent decked roof terrace from which the views come into their own. They are verdant and leafy; ever-changing with the colours of the seasons, taking your line of sight along the trainline into Brighton, over the green of Preston Park and to the rolling hills of the South Downs below open skies. It lights up with stars on a clear night and in summer, the decking offers the perfect space for sunbathing and growing potted plants which will form a lovely back drop to the room. During the warmer weather, the entertaining space for dining alfresco more than doubles, so you can sit outside well after the sun has gone down.

Conveniently nearby, the kitchen has been well-designed to include ample storage in cabinetry at both base and eye levels, alongside an integrated oven, hob and dishwasher, leaving space for a tall fridge freezer and a washing machine.

With four bedrooms, this apartment is ideal for professional sharers/lodgers or families who will also appreciate the great school catchment and close proximity to both Preston and Hove Parks. Throughout the apartment, the windows are double glazed, so you can always ensure a warm and restful night’s sleep. The principal room is larger, so even with a king size bed and freestanding wardrobes, the floor space is not compromised, plus it also boasts a en suite shower room. The other bedrooms have easy access to the main bathroom which has a bathtub and marbled wall tiles in grey and white, plus there is a separate WC – ideal in any shared space. Both the bathrooms and kitchen would benefit from updating – an exciting project for the new owners.

Agent’s thoughts:
Incredibly spacious, with the addition of 2 on-site secure parking spaces and four bedrooms, this apartment will appeal to families and professionals alike. The views are simply sensational and to have such a large roof terrace is wonderful during summer when it becomes an extension of the home.

Owner’s thoughts:
‘’This has been a great home for me as it is a lovely building where neighbours look out for one another, and the location is hugely convenient with local shops and transport links nearby – yet it is wonderfully peaceful too. It is the views I shall miss the most, however – they change so much throughout the year and are a joy to wake up to.’
