Echoing the graceful arches of Brighton’s historic Victorian viaduct, the Old Technology College stands proudly with its decorative red-brick façade, beautifully combining Victorian industrial character with striking contemporary design. Recently transformed into a collection of modern apartments, this exceptional two-bedroom home makes full use of the building’s extraordinary proportions, where soaring ceilings, oversized windows and mezzanine-style living create a remarkable sense of light, volume and style throughout.

Arranged over the ground and first floors with its own private entrance to the rear, the apartment immediately feels spacious and light. The main living area is particularly impressive, with double-height ceilings and expansive glazing that allows natural light to flow through both levels. Clean white walls, internal glazing and pale oak flooring, warmed by zoned underfloor heating, create a calm, open feel throughout, while triple glazing ensures excellent sound insulation from the nearby road and passing trains across the viaduct.

The open-plan living room, kitchen and dining space has been thoughtfully designed for both everyday living and entertaining. Sleek fitted cabinetry, stone worktops and integrated appliances provide a modern and practical kitchen space, while the generous proportions of the room allow for flexible dining and seating areas. From here, doors lead directly out to a private west-facing decked patio, which sits alongside the communal garden and offers a great spot for outdoor dining or relaxing in the afternoon and evening sun.

On the ground floor, the bathroom is finished in a contemporary style with concrete-effect tiling, a bath with shower over, matt black fittings and illuminated mirrored storage. Upstairs, the galleried landing overlooks the living space below and enjoys an open, airy feel. Bedroom two is positioned to the rear of the property and benefits from a large internal picture window that brings in borrowed light from the main living area. It is a well-proportioned double room with built-in storage. The principal bedroom is also a generous double, complete with fitted wardrobes and a stylish en suite shower room finished in a matching contemporary design, including a walk-in rainfall shower.

The property is set in a highly sought-after location close to Preston Park and Preston Circus, with a wide range of local amenities nearby including cafés, pubs, restaurants, gyms, cinemas and independent shops. There are plenty of green spaces within easy reach, and the area is well served by highly regarded schools. Transport links are excellent, with London Road Station, Brighton Mainline Station and Preston Park Station all within walking distance, providing easy access to Lewes, the universities, Gatwick and London. The A23 and A27 are also close by, making it convenient for those needing fast road connections, while the seafront and city centre are just a short walk away, offering everything this vibrant coastal location has to offer.
