1 bedroom Flat for sale

Guide price: £400,000 Share of Freehold

Florence Road is one of Preston Park’s most beautiful streets, lined with mature trees, with predominantly red-brick Victorian houses. The old flint church at the corner with Southdown Avenue is a community hub; the renowned Florence Road Saturday morning market takes place here and the Florence Road Café in the church is now also open on weekdays, selling coffee, cake and fresh bread. Further down the road is St. Augustine's Arts & Events Centre, where there is another café and a whole range of events including a programme of yoga classes throughout the week in the Space Yoga studio. In minutes you can walk to either Blakers Park or Preston Park. At Fiveways there is a fantastic selection of local shops and a Co-op.

This exquisite garden flat on the ground floor of a semi-detached Victorian red-brick building is beautifully presented and has the most glorious garden. The front of the house is very attractive, with a Victorian-style, black and white, tiled front path, leading to the front door. As you enter the apartment, the living room is at the front of the house. The original sash windows, with decorative panes of coloured glass at the top, form a square bay overlooking the pretty front garden. The fireplace houses a wood-burning stove (that is currently not in use as repairs are required) with a marble surround, and to either side of the fireplace, there are elegant custom-built cabinets in the alcoves. The bedroom is behind the living room and has an outlook over the garden. This room is light and spacious and has a fireplace with a cast-iron insert and original Victorian decorative tiles. The floorboards have been painted white, giving the room a fresh contemporary feel, and there is a built-in wardrobe in one alcove. A hallway leads to the rear of the property and has two storage cupboards. In the bathroom, the décor is also contemporary while sympathetic to the period of the property. The white suite has a panelled tongue and groove panel and the white hand basin has a square Victorian style. A built-in cupboard houses the Worcester combi-boiler. At the back of the apartment with large glazed double doors onto the beautiful garden, there is a kitchen/dining room. This is another light, south-facing room and it has been fitted with a country-style kitchen in cream with a solid wood worktop and a white butler sink. The floor is ceramic, pale terracotta coloured, tiles. There is room for a Rangemaster stove with a five burner hob, double oven and separate grill. The dishwasher and washing machine are integrated. Step out from here into the south-facing garden which has a lovely area of decking with steps down to the lawn. The garden wraps around the house, as you go through a decorative arch to a wide decked area, which in turn leads through a gate, down the side to the street. Anyone looking for a one-bedroom garden flat in a residential area will find this flat perfectly located, beautifully presented, and a highly desirable home.

Further benefits of the location include a GP surgery at the end of the road and a dentist at Fiveways. London Road station is only a four minute walk and two different bus routes run from opposite ends of the road. By car there is easy access to the A23 for routes out of Brighton towards London.
