In a sought after garden square with glittering sea views, this spacious one bedroom apartment is in prime position on the first floor of a beautiful, grade II listed Regency house with a wrought iron balcony where guests can spill out to enjoy this glamorous location between the beach and the legendary shops, bars and restaurants of St James’s Street (on the pride route!). An ideal first buy or rental with a cheerful east/west orientation, a fabulous refurbishment blends classical beauty with a designer finish, where both the double bedroom and elegant living room enjoy oak flooring underfoot and soaring ceilings, whilst a stylish kitchen and bathroom are both brand new. This historic artists quarter of the city is a fashionable area attracting professionals, commuters and international investors as it is within walking distance of Amex, the County Hospital and the station, and it is the perfect place for friends to gather to stroll to the vibrant theatres and festivals of out legendary party resort.

Giant Corinthian columns adorn this grade II bow fronted beauty which has original leaded glass in the front door, secure answer phone entry and communal hall, which is tidy, and up via a broad staircase on the first floor this inviting apartment spreads it wings from east to west.

With the wow factor from the moment you step in, beyond the central lobby, the impressive reception celebrates Brighton’s Regency heritage with triple windows stretching from floor to glorious high ceiling and which open to a beautiful balcony. Stretching the full front of the building, it is an ideal spot to relax in the Sussex sunshine, watch over the open water and enjoy the changing of the seasons in the gardens which have a famous statue by Romany Mark Bruce. Inside, precious period proportions are unspoilt in a room of Regency charm with plenty of space for entertaining and the decoration is sophisticated – so you can move straight in.

Next door, the brand new kitchen has a chic finish, and it is good to go with an integrated touch induction hob, hood and oven as well as a washer/drier and dishwasher, and the unused, under counter fridge could also stay, subject to circumstance.

At the front, with restful views over the exotic planting of the garden and attractive period homes which surround it, the good grade engineered oak flooring continues into the double bedroom where a curved wall adds character and two double fitted wardrobes reach the lofty ceiling.

Across the hall, the stylish attention to detail extends even to the light and airy bathroom which features designer tiling, and it caters for your every need with new fittings which include a shower over the bath, a smart hand basin with a mirrored cabinet above and painted cupboard below, a shaving/toothbrush point and a warming rail for towels.
