Why you’ll like it:

Undoubtedly the most attractive and prestigious conservation area in the city, Clifton Hill is characterised by striking Regency and Victorian homes set on sweeping avenues between fashionable Seven Dials and the sea.

This apartment sits in a mid-terrace townhouse bearing the architectural features of the period, with wide stone steps leading up through a grand portico entrance. Stepping inside, the scale of the building becomes apparent; where ceilings soar and a tall staircase rises to the first floor where this apartment is clearly numbered.

From the entrance hall, the eye is immediately drawn to the living room due to natural light streaming in through two floor-to-ceiling windows on the westerly elevation framing far-reaching views. These open to the balcony which becomes a lovely extension of the space from which to watch the world go by during the warmer weather, or when open they allow the cool coastal breeze to flow right through the flat. There is ample space inside for comfortable furnishings and formal dining, and the décor is fresh and neutral to suit all styles.

Next door, the kitchen shares the same sunny aspect as the living room with another full-height window opening to the balcony. The cabinetry offers plenty of storage solutions and a sweet breakfast bar provides an additional informal dining space. The fridge and cooker are freestanding (so may not be included in the sale).

Peacefully positioned to the rear of the building, the bedroom is another fine sized room with built-in wardrobes and space for a king size bed without compromising on floor space. The views are green and lush, meaning you feel a million miles from the city centre, and the shower room is conveniently close by.

This is classic in white with marble tiling, a generous shower cubicle and plenty of built-in storage for toiletries and towels.
Uniquely, this apartment has a separate, self-contained room accessible from the outer landing which houses the washing machine, but also has ample space for a desk to create a tranquil home office for those needing to work from home on a daily or weekly basis.
