Stylish & Flexible 1-Bedroom Ground Floor Flat with Private Entrance and Exceptional West-Facing Garden
Nestled in a peaceful location just off Elm Grove, this beautifully presented one-bedroom ground floor flat offers a rare combination of charm, privacy, and flexible living space — all set within a quiet residential area near the edge of the South Downs, yet just moments from the vibrant heart of Brighton.
Accessed via its own private street entrance, the property immediately impresses with its secluded, west-facing walled garden measuring 20 X 15— a true urban oasis. Lush and established, the garden is filled with mature shrubs and year-round colour and fragrance, including a Red Robin tree, jasmine, fuchsia, and Virginia creeper. The side return measures 19 X 5 and unusually there are no communal areas.
Inside, the accommodation unfolds into a bright and flexible living space. A few steps lead up from the hallway into the lounge, where double-aspect windows and a beautiful front bay create a sense of space, light, and character — a room that regularly elicits a ‘wow’ from guests. This area flows effortlessly into the hallway and garden beyond, allowing the space to be enjoyed as one integrated living environment, while still affording the option of privacy when desired.
The hallway is more than just a passage — it functions beautifully as a dining area, workstation, or study, depending on your needs. There’s also useful understairs storage.
To the rear, the well-equipped kitchen includes a large integrated fridge freezer, gas hob, electric oven, extractor hood, breakfast bar, plumbing for a washing machine or dishwasher, and a new combi boiler. A window overlooks the leafy garden, making this a bright and pleasant space to cook and dine.
The bedroom, located at the front of the flat, is a calm and quiet space, with a bay window looking onto Bernard Road. The newly decorated bathroom includes a white suite, brand new toilet, updated electrical fittings, and a window for natural light and ventilation.
Additional highlights include:
Recently upgraded electrical system (expected EPC improvement)
Long lease
Gas central heating
Economical to run
Electric Car Charging point outside the house
This property will suit a broad range of buyers — from professionals and commuters (with easy access to London and Gatwick), to remote workers, downsizers, or anyone seeking a peaceful yet well-connected Brighton home. The combination of character, space, garden, and location makes this a truly special place to live.
