1 bedroom flat

Breathtakingly beautiful and ever-changing with the seasons, the views from this prestigious seafront apartment take in some of the most iconic landmarks of the city. The sea and skyscapes are exquisite, and facing directly south, the natural light throughout the apartment is superb.

It has out to a covered balcony sunroom with space to dine while looking out over Brighton Beach & Promenade. The decor is smart and neutral, so you could move straight in or have an immediate let, yet there remains some scope for further modernisations which would add value in such a sought-after location. Uniquely, it also benefits from a separate, secure home office or occasional bedroom located off the landing from the communal hall – ideal for those working from home or having guests to stay.

Brighton Mainline Station is an easy for commuters, and there is so much to entertain you within a few minutes on foot, so this beautiful home will appeal to a wide demographic who simply love the energy of this vibrant coastal city.

Why you’ll like it:
Standing six storeys tall, the Regency townhouse in which this apartment is set feels grand on approach. It has plenty of kerb appeal with dark framed windows on its southerly elevation, creating enclosed balconies to the south facing apartments, sitting in perfect contrast with its curved cream façade. It stands in pride of place on the seafront, where the road starts to quieten, enjoying views from east to west of Brighton’s iconic seafront - from the Palace Pier with its shimmering lights; past the i360 and the West Pier shell; the glorious Brighton Bandstand, and on to the silhouetted wings of the Angel of Peace, standing on the border with Hove. The sea and skyscapes are incredible, forming the most exquisite backdrop to this luxurious home.

A secure entry phone system provides access, where stairs rise to the second floor. On the landing, there is secure, sole access to a rear room which is ideal as a guest bedroom or home office, being so peacefully tucked away to the rear of the building. It has been decorated using a modern palette and shutters adorn its windows allowing for weekend lie-ins.

The main door the apartment opens to a sweet vestibule with a cupboard for storage. From here, the eye is immediately drawn to the beautiful living room which feels almost entirely glazed to the south, with windows and doors linking through to the enclosed balcony, framing the exceptional vista. While it feels cosy and homely inside, with space to sit on comfortable furnishings, there is additional space to dine, looking out over the prom. There are not many views that impress as much as this one. Even in winter when the waves are crashing and the sea is jade below a grey sky, it remains just as beautiful. You can watch day trippers wrapped up against the cold, blustering along the promenade, listening to the gulls and the wash of the waves, and as evening draws in, the starlings continue their murmurations over the sea.

Next door, the kitchen is well-equipped with plenty of storage and appliances, also enjoying the southerly aspect and views which are a joy to wash up to.

Moving through the apartment to the rear of the building, the shower room is on trend with a roomy cubicle and metro-brick wall tiles. Opposite this, there are built-in wardrobes forming a dressing area, while the bedroom sits peacefully at the far side. It is a fine size double room with double glazed windows, so despite the city centre location, you can always find calm for a restful night of sleep.

Agent’s thoughts:
This is a stunning apartment with some of the most iconic views you can find. There remains scope to put your own stamp on the place and your investment is sound due to the fantastic location.

Owner’s thoughts:
“I loved having the warmth of sun from sunrise to sunset in this cosy flat. Completely opening the balcony bi-fold windows to feel so close to the sea was a wonderful feeling. I also loved having the spare room as a study at the back of the building which was a quiet and peaceful place to work. This is a small and bright flat that feels much bigger than it is with everything one needs for an easy life in the heart of Brighton.”
