Highcroft Villas, Brighton, BN1

The current owners of this superb first-floor studio flat have owned the property since 2009 and successfully let it for the duration. Presented in very good condition throughout with high ceilings and a south facing aspect, the property benefits from a good sized separate kitchen, spacious studio room with attractive Victorian bay windows and a contemporary bathroom with white bathroom suite including bath and electric shower. There is the added bonus of a large lockable cupboard on the communal landing for additional storage, as well as a storage cupboard in the hallway of the flat.

One of five flats in the building, the new owner will benefit from a share in the management company, retaining full control of the building maintenance program. The property will be sold with a long lease and has low annual outgoings, making it desirable from a financial aspect too.  

With friendly local shops and a bistro pub this area has a lovely community feel. Away from the crowds you can still reach the beach easily and with two parks to choose from and a bus route nearby to the National Park, a healthy lifestyle beckons. You can access fashionable bars, lively arts venues and restaurants of both Brighton and Hove on foot, by bus or by cab. For commuters, Preston Park Station is about 10 minutes’ walk, and both the A23 and A27 are easy to reach.
