Embracing the glory of its seafront location with stunning oblique views over open water this luxury two bedroom apartment in a beautiful Grade II listed Regency terrace blends magnificent historic proportions with a sophisticated finish and attention to detail rare to the market. Sympathetic refurbishment has created a sociable, open plan reception which enjoys the timeless seascape and has a brand new fully fitted kitchen installed in November, classic oak flooring runs through each room save the chic shower room (also recently put in) and both bedrooms are private, quiet doubles at the back of the building and ready for your move with fitted wardrobes. On the top floor of a sought after building with a hushed communal hall and a lift it is ideal as a home or for holidays, and investors will like its prime location set well back from the sea road near the seasonal lift which takes you to beach bars, and just a few minutes’ walk from the Royal Sussex County Hospital. Kemptown Village attracts professionals and families seeking fresh air, privacy and a healthy lifestyle with swift access to the city centre (15-20 minutes on foot), Gatwick or London and local schools include some of the best in the country, including Brighton College.

Opposite the beach, this listed, end of terrace beauty is in the fashionable ‘Kemptown Village’ with friendly amenities including cafés, independent shops and weekly farmers market around the corner. Stately from the outside with an impressive entrance secured by video system, inside the good impressions continue in an attractive communal hall with a sweeping staircase and a lift discreetly tucked away.

Inside, this elegant apartment has a sunlit east/west orientation and expert design using high quality materials has created a fabulous home where deceptively simple elegance masks a commitment to a luxury lifestyle- but it is a practical retreat too with a fire sensor system in place for peace of mind, a new boiler and a hallway lined with cupboards.

Large and light, the open plan living area is ideal for a contemporary lifestyle with instantly restful proportions and plenty of floorspace for work, rest or play. A blank canvas with stylish bones of oak underfoot and freshly painted walls, two windows follow the bow of the west wall to frame stunning oblique views of the sea to the southwest and historic listed homes with the hospital peeping above them to the north. Installed in November, the kitchen is stylish and well planned, tucked away in its own space so although sociable, it doesn’t impinge into the living area. Contemporary, high end appliances include a Zanussi gas hob and an electric oven beneath a hood, a fridge, dishwasher and a washing machine, so it is ready for use.

Central to the apartment, the chic shower room has a VIP finish with a large walk in shower with a dual head system in traditional style, there is a vanity unit beneath the hand basin, a shaving/toothbrush point and even a warming rail for towels.

Quiet and comfortable at the back with garden views, both double bedrooms are private as there is no building directly behind – which also ensures they enjoy the morning sunshine – and with timeless décor and fitted wardrobes already in place, you won’t need to change a thing.

Agent says:
“This beautiful coastal home makes the most of its seafront setting, and although you step into a glamorous lifestyle where every room has a designer finish, it is also an inviting haven ideal as a home or an investment.”

Owner’s secret:
“In a wonderful setting, the views are always stunning whether blue skies or stormy. Every room is light and spacious, and the layout and décor works well for my tenants when I am away. Just 10-15 minutes’ walk from the city centre along the promenade it is the obvious place for friends to gather to enjoy all that Brighton has to offer and the building itself is well run and secure, with friendly neighbours. Kemptown Village has a laid back atmosphere with good schools and all the amenities you need including a farmer’s market, Boots and small Co-Op (which opens early and closes later if you work at the hospital) as well as a choice of cafés or bistro pubs.”
