1 bed flat for sale

Ditchling Road, Brighton BN1

Set across the upper floors of a handsome Victorian building, this spacious split-level apartment offers generous proportions, excellent natural light and the rare benefit of a large loft with potential for conversion (subject to planning permission). The property has recently undergone comprehensive refurbishment both internally and externally, resulting in a fresh, well-presented home ready to move straight into. Offered chain-free with a share of the freehold, it presents an exciting opportunity in a highly sought-after Brighton location.

The apartment is accessed via its own private entrance on the ground floor, with a staircase rising internally to the first-floor landing – an arrangement that gives the home a sense of space and separation more commonly associated with a house.

At the front of the property sits the expansive open-plan living, dining and kitchen space. A large bay window frames a leafy outlook across the surrounding streets and draws in excellent natural light. The room is thoughtfully arranged with distinct zones for relaxing, dining and cooking, making it both versatile and sociable.

The kitchen sits to the rear of the room and is fitted with modern cabinetry, integrated appliances and an electric oven and hob. A breakfast bar comfortably seats three, creating a natural spot for casual dining or morning coffee.

At the opposite end of the apartment is the bedroom – an impressively sized room measuring over six metres in length. Dual-aspect windows to the side and rear bring in additional light, while the generous proportions allow flexibility for both sleeping and workspace areas if desired.

The bathroom sits adjacent and is finished with a contemporary white suite, large-format tiles laid in a brick-bond pattern and a bath with concealed thermostatic shower and glass screen. A wall-hung basin enhances the sense of space and gives the room a clean, modern feel.
