Why you’ll like it:
Kemptown Village is an exclusive spot in our coastal metropolis with a cool vibe, plentiful permit parking with no waiting list and all the local amenities you need. Only a stone’s throw from the sea, you are tucked away from the tourists who flock to our city so you will return after a busy day (or night) to peace and quiet when you step through the statuesque front door and into an immaculate communal hallway with glorious period features.

Inside, this apartment has timber framed double glazed windows throughout as the building is in a conservation area. Ahead, the beautiful living dining room has tall twin windows to frame the sea, the sky and the symmetrical majesty of the Regency terrace opposite. Fusing historic elegance with a sophisticated lifestyle, this is a fabulous space of 6.22 x 4.56m (20’4 x 14’11) with original sanded, waxed floorboards, wood shutters to shield the room from the summer heat, a ceiling adorned by an elegant original cornicing, ambient lighting and a stately marble fireplace.

Ideal for every day but also for entertaining, there is an easy flow along the level hallway to the kitchen breakfast room at the heart of the apartment, so it is easy to reach from the bedrooms too. Expertly designed, it flows around a breakfast bar for two. A timeless classic with a high spec finish and a large window looking over the garden, contemporary units deliver generous storage whilst quartz surfaces add that designer finish. Integrated appliances are high spec, plumbing is in place for two machines and a lobby at the far end has a door to a unique oasis of calm in the heart of the city.

Outside, the private sun trap garden is a tranquil, cool retreat with exotic planting for a holiday feel. Larger than many this close to the sea and to the city centre, it is secluded behind walls and fencing, and it is a natural place with plenty of space for friends and family to meet before or after a hot day on the beach.

Returning inside, there’s a large utility cupboard hidden away and it is worth noting that good storage has been provided elsewhere in this lovely home both off the hallway and a big easily accessible space above the en-suite.
Looking over the garden and painted in places in a calm green to bring the outside in, the well proportioned second bedroom is an idyllic retreat with fitted wardrobes ready to fill and is close to the chic shower room tucked away in the hall.

Private, peaceful and also with garden views, the principal bedroom is a spacious refuge with 3.81 x 3.37m (12’6 x 11’0) in which to unwind. With relaxing, historic proportions, shutters at the window create a secret sanctuary to relax in, there is discreet high storage as well as floorspace for wardrobes. The sleek, contemporary en-suite with marble countertops, and stainless steel fittings as well as underfloor heating beneath the tiled flooring is large enough for a bath with a shower above it.

Owner’s secret:
“We have loved all the space inside and out, and have had some great parties here. Seeing the sea every time we walk into the living room is really special and we are so close to it that we go to the beach everyday – it’s a quick de-stress at the end of a working day! Close to the hospital with buses to the centre, it’s a convenient but quiet and friendly area to live in . Kemptown village has plenty of local shops, restaurants and bars to choose from if you don’t want to stray too far from home.”
