Gazing out over the leafy environs of Withdean Park, The Park Apartments sit on some of the most prime land in the country. Commuter links, excellent schools and easy access to the city are a huge bonus, but within these apartments you also have access to an onsite gym and sauna.

This modern two-bedroom apartment sits slightly elevated on the first floor with a balcony facing east to maximise the glorious park views. Each room is well-proportioned with a wealth of glazing and a smart, neutral finish throughout, having been re-decorated recently. There remains scope, however, for further modernisations which will add value in such a popular location, allowing new owners to put their own stamp on the place.

Perfectly positioned for commuters, you are just a short walk from Preston Park Station and the A23/A27 are just minutes away, so this flat would be popular with professional sharers and investors alike.

Why you’ll like it:
Surrounded by secure gates, mature palms and manicured plants, the newly clad Park Apartments are hugely attractive, lining London Road opposite Withdean Park. The communal ways are well-maintained with a tall steel lift or a short flight of stairs taking you to the first floor where your door is clearly numbered. Stepping inside, it is a naturally light and modern space with quality carpet flowing along the corridor and into the principal rooms. There are two deep storage cupboards for coats, shoes and household items, so you can ensure the flat remains clutter free.

First to the right is the generous living and dining room where a wall of double-glazed windows frames the gorgeous leafy backdrop of Withdean Park and up Peacock Lane. There is ample space in here to dine and relax, then during the warmer weather, you can spill out on to the balcony which is covered for use throughout the year. Facing east and open to the south, the natural light on the balcony and into the living room is delightful, and the views are ever-changing with the seasons. During winter, tall, black marble effect heating panels warm the room perfectly, bringing both form and function to the room.

Conveniently across the hall, the kitchen is streamlined with fitted cabinets providing a wealth of useful storage alongside integrated appliances which will stay. Zesty lime glass splashbacks add a pop of colour and there is plenty of worktop space for the keen cook. While the kitchen is in fine condition, there remains scope to add value with further modernisation as it is slightly tired in areas.

Both bedrooms are sun filled double rooms with soft carpet underfoot and energy efficient double-glazed windows to ensure a warm and restful night’s sleep. The principal room also enjoys direct access to the balcony so you can pop out for a nightcap or morning coffee to enjoy sunrise over the trees of the park. Bedroom two faces west, so warm light filters in during the afternoon and early evening. Both rooms benefit from easy access to the bathroom which has a monochrome scheme with gleaming white sanitaryware and a shower over the bath.

Agent’s thoughts:
These are well-maintained and popular apartments which will hold their value due to their location. In addition, you needn’t pay for a gym membership as you have a gym and sauna on-site, included within the maintenance fee.
