Clifton Hill, Brighton

Sitting on some of the most sought-after land in the country, in a development steeped in history, Thomas House is part of the contemporary extension to the converted Victorian hospital, so it has sleek, modern lines and ample glazing on its southern elevation. You approach on foot from Clifton Road where a video entry system provides access or by car into the underground car park from Dyke Road accessed via a key fob and either the stairs or a lift takes you back up to the ground floor. While this is a City Centre property, it is tucked away looking out to green trees and lawns within the communal gardens, so it is incredibly peaceful and is not overlooked in the slightest.

Upon entry, it is immediately clear this is a stylish and well-maintained property. Within the wide, L-shaped entrance hall there are two deep cupboards for storage to ensure the flat remains clutter free, and the decoration is immaculate. All three double bedrooms sit on one side of the property enjoying verdant views and full height, double glazed windows to bring in plenty of natural light. They have soft carpet underfoot, and bedrooms one and two benefit from built-in wardrobes which maximise their floor space further. The principal room has a modern en suite shower room in white while bedrooms two and three sit either side of the family bathroom which has a streamlined contemporary finish, also in white. It has large-scale wall tiles and shower over the bath, plus a tall heated rail for towels.

Spanning the depth of the building, the open plan living room is gloriously bright as the far wall is entirely glazed forming a deep square bay looking out to the garden. There is ample space for entertaining, formal dining and relaxing in here, and the kitchen is a sociable space with sleek, handle-free units. Warm wooden floors are both stylish and practical for the space, and the dishwasher, fridge freezer, dual ovens and electric hob have been integrated for you so you can move straight in with ease.

The insulation for both sound and heat is incredible indeed, even in winter you won’t often need the heating on, making it cost effective, and the hot water is centrally managed and constant.
