Why you’ll like it:
Lining the upper border of Brighton’s most beautiful park; Preston Park Avenue is tree-lined and characterised by substantial Victorian villas set back from the road on generous plots. All have been converted into luxury apartment buildings in more recent years, but they continue to command the same air of grandeur.
This house offers a particularly fine example of Victorian architecture, using decorative hung tiles on its twin gabled façade, set back from the road behind a spacious parking forecourt. Stepping inside, the scale of the building becomes apparent, and these proportions continue into this apartment on the first floor.
Upon entry, the ceilings soar in the living room where a wide bay window spans the westerly wall framing views over the Rotunda café and rose gardens. With this favoured aspect, the sun streams in, bringing warmth and light during summer afternoons. Decorative cornicing wends around the room which offers ample space for comfortable furnishings and a dining table and chairs in the deep bay. An original cast iron fireplace is for decoration and use as a mantel, bringing character and charm to the space.
Adjoining the living room, the kitchen is easy to access from the dining area. White gloss handle-free units provide a wealth of storage alongside and integrated oven and an induction hob, leaving space for a tall fridge freezer and a washing machine.
Peacefully positioned to the rear of the building, looking out over the green of neighbouring gardens and tree filled with wildlife, the bedroom is a charming double room and a real sanctuary during the evening where energy efficient double glazing ensures a restful night’s sleep. A wall of wardrobes maximises the floor space and the décor is soothing in sage with fawn carpet underfoot.
Nearby, the bathroom is on trend with large scale brick tiling around bath which has an electric shower over it to ensure piping hot water whenever you need it. The WC is usefully separate.
