Leap into our coastal city’s international lifestyle in this fabulous two bedroom, split level apartment just two blocks from the sea in the fashionable quarter of Kemptown Village. Ideal as a home, investment or lock up and leave with the hospital a 5 minute walk and the station to the airport and London easy to reach, grand proportions bring the wow factor to a sophisticated open plan home with oblique sea views from the living room, whilst both bedrooms look over a sea of gardens – and with the second single room on a different level it is perfect if you were thinking of sharing or working from home. Never far from fresh coffee or a croissant, the shops and cafés of the Village are at one end of the terrace and award winning Brighton College is at the other, whilst a 15 minute stroll along the seafront will take you to the famous cultural heart of our cosmopolitan party resort.

Kemptown Village is a popular area of our fabulous coastal metropolis with a cool but unpretentious vibe and all the local amenities you need. Tucked away from the tourist crowds you can explore all our holiday resort has to offer only a stone’s throw from the sea, but you’ll enjoy the peace when you step through this smart front door and into this building where there is only one spacious apartment on each floor.

Inside, with a sunny east west orientation and glass doors to the main rooms this home is bright and inviting. Ahead, the open plan living room has grand proportions, a beautiful marble fireplace with an intricate metal centre and a broad bay which almost fills the east wall - the perfect place for a dining table where you can share the restful, oblique views down to the sea. Lining one wall, the kitchen area is discrete but sociable with a classic pairing of black surfaces and white units, and a thoughtful touch is the change from high quality carpet to wooden flooring for easy mopping of any spillages. Good to go with an integrated gas hob, fan oven and hood, plumbing for a washing machine and designated space for an undercounter fridge, there is also extra storage space between the tops of the units and elegant coving high overhead.

Central to the apartment, the bathroom is simple but stylish with all you need to get started with a white suite and Triton T80 above the bath. Next door, the first of the bright and cheerful bedrooms is a generous single with alcoves for a bed side table and plenty of floorspace for wardrobes, and looking across gardens, it is very restful and surprisingly private for this historic location.

Down a few steps beneath a skylight, the light and airy double bedroom is not overlooked either and peaceful at the back, it has open leafy views over neighbouring gardens. Double wardrobes offer all the clothes space you could dream of and for highfliers, there is discreet storage big enough for wheelie bags.

Agent says:

“This is a popular part of our coastal city with an al fresco lifestyle and between the waterfront restaurants of the Marina and picturesque historic Lanes attracting investors as the location is good for professionals who work at the Hospital, Amex or Station – and even families as local schools are good.”

Owner’s secret:

“10-15 minutes’ walk from the city centre there are also plenty of local cafés, bars and restaurants to choose from, so friends tend to gather here whilst we decide where to explore. The Village has a friendly atmosphere as well as cafés and bakeries which open early and shops which close late and if you work at the airport or the station, local bus routes give you almost 24/7 access to Brighton Station, and you can walk to the hospital from here.”
