Why you’ll like it
Historic Brunswick Town is a sought after spot in our world famous city with a cool but unpretentious vibe. You are never far from fresh coffee and a croissant- or the beach- and tucked away from the crowds who flock to our legendary coastal resort, you really do leave the noise of the city behind when you step up to the grand front door of this impressive, end of terrace building, now secured by answer phone. Through the front door, an atmospheric communal hallway is lit by huge windows and glorious period detail includes intricate plaster work overhead and the original staircase which sweeps you up to the second floor and this apartment.

Instantly inviting with light coming in from two directions, inside the lobby has two big cupboards providing plenty of storage, so first impressions are good. Ahead, the studio room is beautifully airy with a high ceiling, a large window framing surprisingly leafy views for this central location, and plenty of floor space to play with.
Next door, the bathroom is a modern classic, attractively tiled in blue and white and has all you need including natural light and a Hydro shower above the bath, so water pressure should not be an issue.

Not to be outshone, the bright and cheerful kitchen looks across a sea of gardens and faces west so you can cook in the evening sun. Well planned, everything is to hand from the electric hob and oven, both integrated beneath a discreet hood, plumbing is in place for a washer/drier and there is space for an undercounter fridge – and the vendors are happy to discuss the white goods already in situ.

Outside, the communal garden is a sunny oasis where it is easy to forget you are at the heart of a thriving metropolis, with a central paved area ideal for al fresco dining. Made private from the street by walls and mature trees and shrubs, there is even a separate gate to the street for bikes, although there is a possibility you can store them inside, subject to separate application.

Agent says:
“Bright and spacious, this fabulous studio apartment is a rare find in this popular part of the city, bordered by beaches with a friendly atmosphere,”

Owner’s secret:
“Although the apartment is so convenient it is remarkably quiet inside. The garden is a great place for friends to meet ready for a trip to the shops or the beach and all of us in this house get on really well so if you’re new to the south coast you won’t feel isolated.”
