Feel on top of the world in this spacious studio apartment in a Grade II listed Regency building opposite The Royal Pavilion and its gardens and at the foot of the vibrant St James’s Street – on the Pride route. Located in a golden triangle 3 minutes’ walk from the Pier and the famous arts venues and historic Lanes which cluster around the palace, this private eyrie is ideal as a first buy, holiday home or investment with 301 square feet (28m2) of freshly painted loveliness to enjoy and Brighton Station’s direct trains to Gatwick and London 6 minutes by cab – or 10-15 on foot. Priced to sell with a rare opportunity to ramp up the glamour over time, the kitchen area with an integrated hob, oven and hood is discreetly tucked along one wall so it does not dominate the room, and the modern bathroom has a shower over the tub.

Kemptown is famous for its al fresco lifestyle, County Hospital, So-Ho House and new beach bars, wellness centre and Lido. The perfect place for friends to gather before enjoying the atmosphere and festivals of our legendary party resort, this bohemian quarter is sought after, and particularly popular with health and flight professionals as the hospital is a 10-15 minute stroll, there’s a Gatwick Express from the station and a coach from the Old Steine, local shops open at flexible hours, and now is the time to buy with substantial improvements underway on the promenade.

Chic and central, now is the time to buy this fabulous apartment in an exclusive location high above the one way system of Valley Gardens and Old Steine. A beautiful historic building with bow bays, iconic iron balcony and a grand entrance, new life breathes through this sensitively converted period building designed to retain the character of the property but also keeping 21st century comfort, privacy and security in mind.

Inside this apartment, you leave any stresses of the day behind in a hushed hallway and ahead, the light and airy studio room has a practical 15’10 x 12’7 (4.8m x 3.9m) which provides plenty of opportunity to rest, work or play. With the beautiful proportions only Brighton’s Regency properties can deliver, this restful refuge has two large windows facing east for the morning sun and they frame a fabulous cityscape over lower historic rooftops which glitter at night. Lush silver grey carpet and crisp white walls keep the feel current, and it is remarkably quiet given its fashionable location where arts events are held during our famous festivals including Pride, The Fringe and the Christmas Fair. Ideal for entertaining, the kitchen area is sociable but does not dominate the space and it is skilfully planned with generous storage and practical working surfaces flowing from the electric hob and oven beneath a hood.

At 7’11 x 7’6 (2.4m x 2.3m) this bathroom inspires ideas, and a modern classic it has all you need to get started including a shower above the bath.

Everything you can think of is on your doorstep whatever you are into – an al fresco lifestyle, fine dining, the theatre, cinemas or clubs.
