A famous coastal landmark, the Regency homes of Royal Crescent are rarely on the market. Faced with black tiles this Grade II* two bedroom home has a sociable layout, beautifully proportioned rooms, a luxury master suite and spacious central patio. Set back from the seafront behind gated gardens for the residents, between the Georgian heart of the city and cosmopolitan Marina, its location is exclusive attracting the rich and famous including Sir Laurence Olivier, but it is also convenient, by the relaxed café culture of Kemptown Village which also hosts award winning Brighton College and the County Hospital. This two bedroom property is deceptively spacious as it benefits from two large cellars, leaving the house clutter free.
Begun in 1798 and completed in 1822, this was the first terrace built in Brighton to face the sea and form a coherent whole. Outside, the communal gardens are cared for and the houses have great kerb appeal with grand angled bays, canopied balconies and the crescents’ famous black tiles.
This big apartment spans the whole depth of a south west facing building and it has own private entrance to the lower floor. Built in an age with both a need and a penchant for natural light, this level has plenty of it. Regency stone flagstones adorn both a lobby with discreet storage and a hallway which broadens enough to enjoy dining in style. To the right, an open arch leads to a spacious reception of classic beauty, lined with traditional cabinets with a period style fireplace and two glorious windows which follow the graceful curve of the building and reach the ceiling.
Quiet and comfortable at the back with pretty patio views, the master bedroom is a private haven to look forward to after a busy day. Fitted cupboards are in place and steps rise to a fabulous corner bath for those Venus moments. Across the hallway there is a separate w.c.so you can retain a little mystique if you’re sharing…
Just beyond the dining hall, the passage broadens again to become an inviting kitchen with room for a bench where guests can join you, and this companionable space opens to the patio for seamless al fresco entertaining. Galley in style with clean lines and gleaming wood surfaces it is ready to party with integrated appliances which include a gas hob, hood, fan oven and wine rack! At the far end, an inner lobby has a large cupboard concealing plumbing for machines, and a door to a revitalising shower room with a dual head system and heated rail for towels and pyjamas.
Private and peaceful, the second double bedroom also looks across the central patio which is sheltered from sea breezes. Used as a child’s bedroom (good schools including Brighton College and St Luke’s are within walking distance), it could be a cosy guest room or an ideal office if you are thinking of working from home.
