2 bed flat for sale

Bear Road, Brighton BN2

Description

Knight & knoxley are delighted to present this impressive two-bedroom apartment, offering approximately 645 sq ft of thoughtfully arranged accommodation. Renovated to a high standard throughout, the property combines contemporary interiors with generous proportions and the added benefit of a private garden. With extensive improvements already undertaken, this is a home ready to move straight into.

The apartment is accessed via its own front door at ground level, with a private staircase leading to the first-floor accommodation.

The living and dining room is a particularly inviting space, measuring over 17 ft in length. A large bay window allows natural light to fill the room, while the generous proportions provide plenty of space for both comfortable seating and a dining area. It is a versatile room, equally suited to everyday living and entertaining.

The newly fitted kitchen has been finished to a high specification, with contemporary fittings and a considered layout that makes excellent use of the available space. The separate kitchen provides a practical and stylish setting for cooking, with natural light from the window.

There are two good-sized double bedrooms, both offering comfortable accommodation with space for bedroom furniture. The principal bedroom is particularly well proportioned, while the second bedroom is also a generous size, making this a practical home for couples, sharers or those needing an additional bedroom.

The newly fitted bathroom has been finished in a contemporary style, complementing the quality of the renovation throughout.

Outside, the property benefits from its own private garden, accessed directly from the apartment. Recently improved with new decking and fencing, it provides a lovely space for outdoor dining, relaxing and entertaining during the warmer months.

Considerable investment has been made in both the apartment and the building. Improvements include new electrical wiring, double glazing, repointing and renewed window seals. All external works have been completed, including a new roof with approximately 14 years remaining on its warranty, meaning the property benefits from significant recent investment both inside and out.

A particularly attractive feature is the ownership structure and low ongoing costs. The apartment comes with a share of the freehold and a modern 999-year lease, with approximately 997 years remaining. There is no fixed annual service charge or regular maintenance fee, with building maintenance contributions only required on an ad hoc basis when necessary. Buildings insurance is approximately £298 per annum, making the regular building-related outgoings exceptionally low.
