Why you ll like it
York Villas is surprisingly quiet for such a central location as it is tucked away from the hubbub of Seven Dials and Western Road while remaining conveniently close. Bearing all the architectural features of the Edwardian era, this property has plenty of kerb appeal. Stepping inside through the communal hallways, stairs rise to the first floor where your door is numbered.
Stepping inside the apartment, it is beautifully maintained having undergone recent redecoration and renovation. Pale ochre walls and soft cream carpets bring light and warmth to each room where period features have been highlighted in white. These include period fireplaces, cornicing, skirtings and picture rails, all adding character and charm.
Bright and airy, the living room has ample space for sumptuous furnishings and a dining table and chairs. A wide bay window almost covers the easterly elevation, looking out over the attractive homes and mature trees lining the wide road. Conveniently next door, the kitchen is streamlined and modern with gloss cabinetry in cream paired with dark wood laminate worktops. Within these, the appliances are integrated, including an oven and hob, with space left for a tall fridge freezer. A tall, glazed door opens onto the balcony spanning the front of the house, offering a sunny retreat for morning coffees in the summer sun.
All three bedrooms are double sharing the same immaculate decoration which will suit many styles of furnishing. Two of three benefit from built in wardrobes while the largest room has ample space for freestanding pieces without compromising on floor space. There are two full bathrooms, one of which is en suite, and both have showers over their baths. While modern and functional, it is in these rooms there is potential for modernisation which will add value.
This central city flat is situated in a popular area with lots of local shops and parks on your doorstep. The city centre shopping districts and the beach are within easy reach, and this spacious property also offers easy access to the A23 A27 as well as Brighton Station with its regular, fast links to the universities, airports and London."
