Why you’ll like it:
Seven Dials has managed to retain an air of ‘cool’ for many years. There are establishments and families who have lived here for decades, yet new and exciting shops, restaurants and bars pop up all the time too, giving it the moniker of ‘London by the Sea’. The beach is just a stroll away, as are several popular parks, schools and the city centre, plus the proximity of Brighton Station makes it ever-popular with commuters. It is truly cosmopolitan, which is why so many people flock to live here.
Attractive on the approach, White Lodge house is set back from the road behind fresh green lawns and a border wall. As its name suggests, the façade is immaculate in white bearing the architectural features of the Victorian era. It is a substantial building, so the apartments within it are light and airy. This beautiful apartment sits elevated on the first floor with wide bay windows and sashes framing views across the local landscape to the front and across the green mature trees within the garden at the rear, forming a lovely backdrop to each room.
Stepping inside, the scale of the flat becomes apparent. The ceiling soars and parquet flooring flows seamlessly across thresholds from the spacious entrance hall and into the principal rooms. Within the living room, there is ample space for formal dining within the bay alongside relaxed seating and a work area. The open aspect to the front ensures the room is naturally light and the view is private. A room of this size could accommodate an open plan kitchen which would free up space for a third bedroom if need be – certainly food for thought as it would add value in such a prestigious location.
Easily accessible next door, the kitchen is well-appointed with Shaker cabinetry at eye and base levels, plus the oven and electric hob are integrated, leaving space and plumbing for a dishwasher, washing machine and a full height fridge freezer.
Bedroom two shares the same open outlook as the living room. While it is the smaller bedroom, it feels spacious due to its high ceiling and tall sash window. There is space for a double bed and freestanding furnishings, plus there are two deep cupboards in the entrance hall outside the door.
The principal bedroom is peaceful positioned to the rear of the building with garden views and dual aspect windows bringing in plenty of natural light. Even with a king size bed and several pieces of freestanding bedroom furniture the floor space is not compromised in the slightest, so you can create a homely retreat to come back to each night.
Conveniently close by, the bathroom has a Mid-century Modern vibe with blush rosé walls and teal chevron tiling around the bath. This has a rainfall shower above it and there is storage below the basin for toiletries.
Agent’s thoughts:
Generous proportions and stylish interior design ensure this property is immediately impressive, yet the location also means it will not sit on the market for long.
Owner’s thoughts:
“It was the space and light which first attracted us to this flat as it felt much bigger than your standard two-bedroom Victorian conversion property. The garden is a treat in summer as it is south facing and a real suntrap, yet there is plenty of dappled shade and privacy from the mature trees surrounding it. The location was also a huge pull for us as the station is just a couple of minutes away and there is a lovely sense of community here.”
