Less than 100 yards from the seafront and looking over one of the few historic garden squares in our fabulous resort, you get that holiday feel every time you leave the front door of this charming 1870’s building with the legendary shops, bars and restaurants of St James’s Street at the other end of the one way lane.

Always popular because of its vibrant location, this part of the city has become even more fashionable as the construction of the new Amex pedestrian plaza nearby has begun with plans to include shops, cafes and arts venues. Inside the front entrance, which is secured by an entry system, the communal hall is freshly decorated, as is the apartment itself up above any traffic on the 2nd floor.

With an inviting east west orientation this apartment is a light and airy home to return to with ample storage behind the front door. Ahead, the living room has graceful proportions, plenty of floorspace to play with and a beautiful classical fireplace, and the broad bay which almost fills the east wall would be a great spot for a dining table where you can work in the sunshine or friends can join you to enjoy the sea glittering at the end of the garden with its famous statue by Romany Mark Bruce to the sea.

Small but perfectly formed, the kitchen is sociable although in its own space with a window enjoying the gardens and historic surrounds. An area of the apartment you could make your own over time, with a couple of units and plenty of shelves it is ready for use with a designated space for an electric oven and undercounter fridge, plumbing is in place for a washing machine, and the appliances in situ could stay, subject to circumstance.

Quiet and completely private at the back of the building – a rare find in this central location-the double bedroom has good floorspace and the Worcester boiler, which ensures the room is cosy during winter could easily be disguised. Next door, and central to the apartment, the modern bathroom is bright and cheerful with natural light thanks to high windows and has a Triton T70 shower above the bath.
