Property description & features
- Tenure: Share of freehold (992 years remaining)
EPC: D
Council Tax: A
The glorious period terraces of Kemptown provide light and elegant seaside homes which are within a stroll of the picturesque cultural heart of the city, and this airy one bedroom apartment on a broad, tree lined avenue is a great find, combining period perfection with a contemporary lifestyle. Set up and back from the street in a popular conservation area this 1880’s beauty has a grand front door secured by answer phone whilst inside, only one apartment on each floor has kept the integrity of the original building.
Inside, an L shaped hallway has space for coat hooks and an airing cupboard tucked away. To the left, with a ceiling which soars to almost 3 metres and an impressive triple bay window to bring in the sunshine and oblique sea views, the living room radiates historic charm. Up above the one way street it is surprisingly quiet for this central location, and with leafy views over trees opposite which do not restrict any light it is a restful retreat with plenty of room to create defined areas for rest, work or play.
Just a few steps away along the level hallway, a stylish kitchen is also practical with tiled flooring, plenty of streamlined units and wood working surfaces. A large window makes it inviting and it is good to go with an integrated electric hob, oven and hood, designated space for a tall fridge freezer and there is plumbing for a washing machine.
Central to the apartment, the modern bathroom has all you need including a white suite with electric Triton T80 shower above the bath and natural light. Next door, although in need of a little TLC, the big double bedroom has twin alcoves for wardrobes, restful proportions and looks over gardens.
Agent says:
“If you are looking for a first home to make your own or to step on the investment ladder, this realistically priced apartment is hard to beat: 1. It’s a beautiful historic building but not listed 2. The location is sociable, close to the sea, shops, cultural heart and leafy park. 3. It is within walking distance of major Brighton employers like Amex, law centre, County Hospital and Brighton University buildings and 4. It is a blank canvas ready for a little TLC.”
Owner’s secret:
“The rooms are spacious, light, and comfortable to live in. We have loved the location as there is so much on offer from days on the beach to festivals in Queen’s Park. We can walk to work – and the flat has provided an income when we’ve been away because it is so central but surprisingly quiet at night - and you can stroll, run or cycle along the seafront so you feel less guilty about enjoying the restaurants and bars of St James’s Street around the corner.”
What’s around you:
Shops: St James’s Street 2 minutes, The Lanes 10-15 to walk.
Station: Brighton 10-15 minutes by bus.
Seafront or Park: Sea and Queen’s Park 3-4 minutes on foot.
Closest schools:
Primary: Queen’s Park.
Secondary: Varndean, Dorothy Stringer.
Private: Brighton College.
Offering a rare opportunity, the beach, vibrant shopping, restaurants, clubs and bars on the Pride route as well as Queen’s Park’s leafy walks and tennis courts are all within a four minute walk of this spacious apartment – which is tucked away out of sight and away from the crowds of tourists who flock to our legendary coastal resort. Convenient for the art colleges, Amex and hospitals, it is also well served for cool green spaces which host events in our fabulous festivals. Close to the commercial districts and international cultural heart of the city, the whole of Brighton and Hove is easy to reach on foot, by bus or by car and the station with its fast links to Gatwick Airport and London is about a 20 minute walk.
