This stunning 3 bedroom dual level apartment is a beautiful reimagining of a Regency retreat at the heart of historic Brunswick Town. Just a 2 minute stroll from the fashionable al fresco lifestyle of Western Road, it is 5 minutes on foot from the beach and Hove Lawns, and a 20 minute walk from Brighton and Hove Stations, each with direct trains to Gatwick and London.

It will make an ideal home for professionals, investors and small families, as Brunswick bridges Brighton and Hove, and local schools are good.

This extremely spacious property spans the upper floors of a bow fronted Grade II listed building. The current owners have sympathetically and extensively renovated it to an exceptional standard and have created a luxurious home.

With a glimpse of the sea from its iconic balcony, the drawing room has precious period details, and a wood burning stove in the marble fireplace. A spacious kitchen has a central table for dining beneath a floral frieze, and original wooden flooring. The first of the double bedrooms, with a rear garden aspect, is perfect for guests or for working from home as visitors can come and go without disturbing the main rooms.

The exceptionally spacious bathroom has a luxury designer finish. The second elegant bedroom exudes calmness, and the principal bedroom is a dream come true with handmade, bespoke storage, a period fireplace and oblique sea views.

One of the most sought after locations in the city known for its chic cafés, restaurants, and shops including a local Co-Op and Waitrose, it is close to the sports facilities, playground and open spaces of St Anne’s Wells which also hosts events during festivals and highly rated local schools, including a popular primary, BIMM and an outstanding sixth form college are within easy reach.

Why you’ll like it:

Brunswick Town is a famous Regency development and remains one of Hove’s finest addresses with a plethora of amenities on your doorstep but out of hearing. Bought as a home, this stately maisonette feels like a house and has been brought back to its former glory and completed to an exacting standard.

Tucked up and away from the tourist trail, the majestic entrance to this historic house opens to an inviting communal hall, shared by only one other apartment. The impressive carved pediments above the doors are rare features which continue into the maisonette above.

The Guest Room/Home Office

At the top of an impressive original Victorian stairwell, guests will love the quiet seclusion of this beautiful bedroom with garden views. Simple but stylish it has gleaming floorboards, a handsome fireplace and ample floorspace in which to unwind. It could also become a comfortable space in which to work from home.

The Drawing Room

The drawing room is stunning, with classic interior design which will stand the test of time. Spanning the whole of the front of the building, two statuesque windows open onto the balcony. It is a room of beautiful proportions to enjoy, come rain or shine, with a ceiling adorned by a frieze which soars to over 3 meters, further complemented by a cast iron wood burning stove in the marble fireplace and beautiful bespoke cabinets. The room has ample floorspace in which to work, rest or play and the balcony is perfect for friends to spill out to and enjoy the atmosphere of this fashionable locale.

The Kitchen/Dining Room

Perfect for parties but also for an everyday, luxury lifestyle, this kitchen/dining room has unspoilt dimensions with a fabulous high ceiling surrounded by delicate friezes. It has a social, feel-good focus that it flows around a central table, ideal for family time or entertaining. High spec, there are granite surfaces throughout, sophisticated storage solutions and space for integrated fridge, freezer, dishwasher and washing machine. There is also a magnificent Falcon range cooker.

The Luxury Bathroom

Upstairs, beneath extraordinarily high stained-glass windows the commitment to style continues in the spa-like bathroom. This room acknowledges the history of the building in the fabulous, freestanding tub with a tap and a wand, but embraces the future with clean lines, a designer finish and high end Aqualisa dual head fittings in the wet room style shower. There is underfloor heating, plantation shutters that ensure privacy, and a vanity unit beneath the hand basin.

The Second Double Bedroom and The Principal Room

Peaceful and private at the back with views which change with the seasons, the second double bedroom is a delight to return to, generous in size and ready to move into with custom made wardrobes beside a glorious fireplace.
With the romance only a creative blend of historic proportion and a skilled eye can deliver, the principal bedroom is a soothing sanctuary with broad windows to almost fill the east wall. Gleaming wood floorboards, walls painted in white and elegant coving and a ceiling rose instantly soothe. A spacious wardrobe, in traditional style, is to one side of a gracious fireplace.
