Why you’ll like it:
Stylish and secure, now is the time to buy this fabulous apartment on the prime southeast side of a small, low level brick built block with a car park at the back which may have a space for you by separate arrangement, although street parking is free and plentiful -and you really don’t need a car in this area of Saltdean. Built with comfort and light in mind, all windows and doors are double glazed.
Inside, it is easy to shake off any stress of the day in a hushed hallway. Ahead, the streamlined living/dining room/kitchen has a wall of glass to bathe the room in sunshine and which opens to the fabulous balcony large enough for al fresco entertaining. 5.51 x 4.51m (18’0 x 14’9) delivers plenty of space for work, rest or play and there are open views over the parade of shops below, so you don’t feel hemmed in.
Tucked away from the in/out flow, the stylish kitchen area has a sociable breakfast bar but does not dominate the space, and it is skilfully planned with plenty of storage and practical working surfaces, all of which flow from the electric hob and oven beneath a hood.
Quiet and comfortable at the back of the building, the double bedroom is a restful retreat with calm decoration and an open outlook for a win win. Opposite, the bathroom is a modern classic with all you need including fresh air and natural light and a shower above the bath.
Agent says:
“Big, bright and stylish this fabulous first buy offers an easy coastal lifestyle with quiet nights but close to local shops, bars, restaurants. With swift access to Brighton and other major employers, it’s good to go as a home or a rental.”
Owner’s Secret:
“This spot is a great place to be with the sea, a park with tennis courts and everything you need from fresh produce to a chemist either on your doorstep or on Longridge Avenue. It’s easy to get to Brighton, Lewes or Gatwick for work as the apartment is quiet but well -connected. Open views make it very private, the neighbours are considerate and the block is well maintained.”
