Situated a short walk from Preston Park Station, Cliveden Court is a low-rise development of purpose-built flats, set in its own grounds. This pleasant two-bedroom flat is on the first floor and benefits from lots of natural light.

There is unallocated parking on-site, and communal gardens with pretty planting and manicured grass verges. There is also a tennis court available for use by the residents.

Nearby there are plenty of amenities, including the local shops in Preston Village, and the green spaces of Preston Park and Withdean Woods.

Transport links are excellent with a regular bus service, in and out of the city, from the stops adjacent to the building. While the train station gives access to the centre of Brighton in five minutes, and in the other direction to Gatwick, London, and beyond.

These are sought-after apartments which are popular with first time buyers, families, downsizers, and investors alike.

Why you’ll like it:

Cliveden Court is tucked away from Preston Road behind mature trees. The drive, flanked by manicured grass verges and pretty planting, leads to the apartment which is at the bottom of the slope on the left. The communal hallway is well-maintained and has been newly refurbished.

Once inside, a wide arch leads from the entrance hall to the living room. Which reveals the wow factor, a wide picture window that frames the views over the well-tended front garden, and beyond that to the graduated trees up to the horizon. The window faces west so gives a great view of the sun as it sets.

The modern palette and contemporary fixtures and fittings utilised in the lounge make it a very congenial space to spend time in. There is ample room for large sofas and a formal dining table and chairs.

Sitting opposite, the bijou kitchen has been cleverly designed with plenty of storage alongside an integrated oven, placed in a tower for easy access and cleaning. Space has been left for several freestanding appliances to include a washing machine, dishwasher and tall fridge freezer which may be included with the sale by separate negotiation.

The bathroom has a contemporary feel with grey marbled tiles around a white bath suite. There is a shower and a wall-mounted heated rail for towels. The master bedroom shares the same sunny aspect as the living room, and both bedrooms have built-in storage. There is double glazing throughout.


Agent’s thoughts:
These apartments are hugely popular as they have generous, light filled rooms and leafy views. They are perfectly located to give the residents a peaceful lifestyle while remaining well connected to the city.


Owners’ thoughts:
“Cliveden Court is a great place to live. It’s handy for the local shops in Preston Village and the brilliant parks. Not forgetting Brighton’s beaches, and the trains to London and beyond. We loved watching the sunsets from our lounge.”

What’s around you:
Shops: Local 4 min walk, Churchill Square 15 min on the bus
Train Station: Preston Park is a 4 min walk
