Springfield Road, Brighton

Hamlyn Smith are delighted to be marketing this wonderful two-bedroom apartment which is part of an attractive Victorian building standing on the corner of Springfield Road and Southdown Avenue. The property is surrounded by mature trees and the private entrance is on Southdown Avenue, just down from the beautiful old flint church which has become a community hub, hosting the renowned Florence Road Saturday morning market and the Florence Road Café. As well as having access to a courtyard garden, you have the benefit of a communal garden at the front of the building. Steps down to the lower ground floor take you to your own entrance. There is a gate for security, followed by a front door that opens onto a lovely kitchen with a south-facing window. This room is full of light from the window and the glazed front door. There is a Zanussi electric oven and gas hob and space for a washing machine. From the kitchen, you enter the extremely spacious living room which has a large, elegant bay with three sash windows that look out onto the courtyard. The centrepiece of the room is a stunning fireplace with a cast-iron inset and a gas flame fire. To one side is a distinct area for the dining table, set below a further window. The master bedroom similarly has excellent proportions with a large south-facing bay window, this time overlooking the communal garden to the front. There is a further bedroom and a modern bathroom which includes a shower over the bath.

Just around the corner is St. Augustine’s Arts & Events Centre, where there is a café and where you can attend a whole range of events including a programme of yoga classes in the Space Yoga studio. In minutes you can walk to either Blakers Park or Preston Park. At Fiveways there is a fantastic selection of local shops and a Co-op. The Open House Pub is moments away and The Signalman pub is not much further. A short stroll brings you to the much-loved Duke of York cinema where you can see a huge range of films throughout the week. London Road station is moments away and different bus routes run from opposite ends of Springfield Road. By car, there is easy access to the A23 for routes out of Brighton towards London.
